Does anybody have Information about Lillian Bradbury, born around 1915 and mother to Thomas Hession born in 1936. Last heard of in the Blackpool area in the late 30's, Info required for family tree.

Hi Paul
I am trying to trace Lillian Bradbury, not sure if she is the same one you arelooking for though.

My Mother's name was Hilda Ellen bradbury she had a brother called Horace and a sister called Lillian, she was born around the same year 1915, she was older than my mother, she left home quite younge and never to be seen again,I wonder if she is the same one.
Thanks Dorothy

take a look at the date this was posted!!!

Hi Dorothy Teresa

Still searching for Lilian after all these years and found out a bit more. 'My Lilian" (lol) parents were John and Lucy Bradbury and they lived in Leeds, Lilian was born also in Yorkshire and she married a man in1931 called Arnold R Woolhouse, she must have only just been 16 so very young even for those times.
She then married my grandad in 1935 & 1937 (?) and had my dad in between those marriages in 1936.
Then she walked out and i have drawn a blank after she is on record as marrying a man called Douglas Grundy in 1943, Leigh district.
After that, nothing, no death certificate, just vanished.
Would be interesting to see what you have found out since, can be very difficult at times.

Sandra, as has already been pointed out, this is an old thread. I am posting the 1939 for for the Lilian who married Douglas Grundy so it doesn't look like she is 'your Lilian.'
