BAILEYS from TITCHMARSH

One of my great grandmothers was Sarah Scotney b. 1838 in Southwick England.The story is that she was travelling to New Zealand(or Australia) and met John Bailey from Titchmarsh Northamptonshire England in Adelaide Australia.They were married 1/10/1859 at the Wesleyan Chapel,Kongarilla,Adelaide Australia.

They returned to England and then emigrated to N.Z. with the rest of the Bailey brothers and their families.John Bailey died in Auckland N.Z.5/5/1865.Sarah was with child.(Harriet Adelaide)Two houses and a section were left to Sarah,also a section from the Bailey estate at Paparoa.(Although no-one seems to know what happened to that)

John Wilson(one of my great grandfathers) who had met John Bailey and Sarah Scotney on the same ship where they met, married Sarah 24/4/1866 Auckland N.Z.
John and Sarah Wilson had 8 more children.

Edit; According to the birth and marriage certs.Sarah was the illegitimate daughter of Mary b.1817 daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth.

BRADSHAW's of LANCASHIRE

Looking for JOSEPH CECIL BRADSHAW born 1856 app.This family of BRADSHAW's comes from around MANCHESTER area and could connect to the Bradshaw's of Staffordshire and Cheshire.
We know of the family back to 1856 and have possibilities for earlier generations.
Joseph Cecil Bradshaw(Snr) M.Emily Jane Slinger.Children- Joseph Cecil.b.1892,Arthur b.1892,George Herbert.b.1898,Ada Lilian.b.1899.
Joseph Cecil(Jnr)M.Mary Walkden in Salford.Children George A.b.1932,Lillian E.b.1934.Joseph and Brian b.1935.
Both parents died while the children were young and George and Lillianne were bought up by Arthur(their uncle) and Joseph and Brian by Ada(Known as Lillian)their aunt.

Lots of research has been done trying to find Joseph Cecil's(Snr) parents.We have Joseph Cecil(Snr) appearing first in the 1881 census with Emily Jane Slinger and have information on the family from then on.We know that they didn't have children till 1892(or any that are mentioned)I have a birth.cert.that shows that Joseph Cecil Jnr.'s mother is Emily Slinger.

ADDED; It is now thought by several researches of this family that Joseph Cecil is the Joseph Wright of George Bagnall Bradshaw's family.(Mother Mary Dorothea Champion)So Charles Champion and Joseph Cecil are brothers and seemed to keep very much in touch as they lived in the same area a lot of their lives.Actually their wives were both Emily Jane's.Charles Emily Jane Parker and Joseph's Emily Jane Slinger.

BRADSHAW

BRADSHAW.This is what I have found out about the Bradshaws.
They were already an established and wealthy family when William the conqueror arrived in 1066.(the de before the Bradshaw name in early times means with William)I have been told.
The oldest line was located at Bradshaw, Bolton.But other early branches were at Haigh Hall Wigan, Atherstone Warwickshire, Twisden Kent, Marple Derbyshire.
For whatever reason William the conqueror didn't take over the Bradshaw lands.Apparently he gave them more.
Bradshaw's at Eyram left there never to return when the plaque hit that place.Valuable tapestries ordered, were just left to rot.
One "story" I have found is that one family had to sell their lands after several generations of a predominance of daughters, where a dowry had to be found and too much had been borrowed.
Of course there have been in history famous and infamous Bradshaws.

CAMAC from NORWAY

I am researching this name for a friend.He knows that his ancestors were from Oslo in Norway and has given me some names.

Thank you to all those who have given me ways to search for Norwegian ancestors.

I have been given information that Camac is not a Norwegian surname so the name or spelling must have been changed.

I will have to try to find out just what it was.
