Looking for Elusive Bradley Family IN Birmingham
Hi,
I was looking for Bradley family on familysearch.org ages ago and cannot seem to locate John and Elizabeth Bradley (nee Nash) I have possibly found my gr gr grandfather (son of the above) aged 7 living in Birmingham at St Martin and also a John Bradley aged one yrs at the same address. I don't have access to the records.I am puzzled as to why I cannot locate John who's occupation was a barber and also the marriage of John and Elizabeth Bradley. I have been informed they may have emigrated to Australia when George was 7. Plus the birth of George as well - CONFUSED!!!! George married and died in Aust. I know some kind person was looking, but thought I would post this info again
Thanks!
I'm assuming you mean the parents of George Charles Bradley 1834-1892
Queensland BD&M
1892/C2724 George Charles Bradley John Elizabeth
George Charles Bradley died in Roma, Queensland on the 6 August 1892
He was a barber/hairdresser as well. He's buried at the Roma General Cemetery,Lewis Street, Roma Queensland.
Says on the headstone " born in Birmingham died 6 - 8 - 1892 grandfather of Edward McKnight"
Am I with the right family here? Let me know. I'll give you a hand.
Hi there Janilye and thanks for reply!
Yes, that is correct I am looking for the parents of George Charles Bradley. Yes again...the info at Roma is correct as I am in touch with a relation who gave me the info regarding the death of George and his marriage in Roma. I have the marriage certifiate. I also have a photo of his barber shop in Roma (not a good a one - but a photo at least!) George states he was born in Birmingham on his marriage certificate. I am hoping to find info regarding the family's arrival from UK to Aust. Sources have told me George was a boy of 7 yrs. when he arrived.
Okay thanks...see what you can dig up
Cheers!

I'm looking for an immigration record before he was married in 1877. If he arrived at 7 he didn't arrive alone.
Below are Queensland deaths for Bradley 1840 to 1900;

William Bradley
Ellen Bell

1893/C1529 John Bradley - - no other information
1892/C4138 James John Bradley

Annie Birmingham * this shows mother as Annie Birmingham not Annie from Birmingham, however, I believe it's worth looking at.
1873/C90 John Bradley
Samuel Bradley
Jane Stone
1900/C1393 John Arthur Bradley
Arthur Bradley
Lucy Porter
1888/C4007 John Bradley - Ellen Bradley ** now Foo Hang - born Queensland aged 7 months
1865/M133 John Bradley - -

Of course they could have died in NSW. Perhaps it was only George Charles who went to Queensland.
Finding the immigration record is the first thing we need.
I'll have a search tonight for you.
Okay thanks again for your help. My Grandma Mona Egan was a Bradley and I am tracing the family tree on my Dad's side the last 3 years. I have gathered alot of info on many family lines, but of course there's always a few brick walls along the way! I just need to organise it all properly when I find the time! Also lucky to have found distant cousins along the way too and that is great as we share info - great fun! I want to find out as much as I can for myself and my Dad before he passes away.
Good luck and thanks again
I shall hear from you again soon
P.S A man tracing the tree also tell me perhaps the family came to Victoria - another place to search
