Find Living Relatives

I am trying to find information on my Grandfathers Joseph Bradford siblings.

I know when they were all born, however I have no other information. Ideally i would like to know if they married or had children and if any of these children are still alive.

My nan is 83 and would live to get in contact with any relations of her Father.

His siblings were as follows:

MARY F BRADFORD

1901 England Census
about Mary F Bradford
Name: Mary F Bradford
Age: 6
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1895
Relation: Daughter
Father's name: John Bradford
Mother's name: Emily Bradford
Gender: Female
Where born: Sedgley, Staffordshire, England

Civil parish: Bilston
Ecclesiastical parish: Ettingsall Holy Trinity
County/Island: Staffordshire
Country: England

He also had a brother William Henry and another Sister Emily May Bradford.

Also any help tracing the family of an Aunt Katie Bradford would be greatly appreciated. I have reason to believe she was born in 188? and was a similar age to Joseph. She may also have lived in High Ercal. Her married name was Mansfield or something similar we think.

Ben

Elsie May Bradford born 1907/8
William Henry Bradford born 1902/3

Could someone please help or offer some advice

Is it possible to find the military records of Joseph and William Henry Bradford?

Is this the family in 1911 Married 19 years, they had had 5 children and 1 had died

I have pm'd you the births of 3 children of Joseph and Ruth. There is someone who has a tree on Gr who has one of them in his tree.

Hi Fairthorn

Why do you think that William H married Elsie Evans in 1924and not Lily Richards in 1926? I couldn't be sure which was the right marriage.

Wendy

pm'd children of Elsie May and John Walker. Born about the same time as my sister who is still alive so sent privately

Thankyou for everyones help, it is very much appreciated.

Ben

I have reason to believe that Katie Bradfords parents were called John and Emily and she had a number of siblings one of which was also called Emily.


ben

Unless Fairthorn can tell us otherwise this could also be Williams marriage

Marriages Sep 1926 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bradford William H Richards Dudley 6b 1826
Richards Lily Bradford Dudley 6b 1826

If so there was a child born wolverhampton 1927

1901 for Katie - she was the daughter of JOSEPH and Emily. This Joseph 1851 was the brother of John1868. So... I think that makes Katie Johns niece

Thats definetly the right family line. I know that they lived in Wood Street. Can anyone tell me what happened to Katie, I know my Nan was very fond of her so i would love to find some of her descendants.

Ben

Joseph 1851lived in the same road as his brother John 1868 in 1911

It says married 37 years but I can only find a marriage to an Emma not an Emily. Also they had 10 children 9 still living.
