Member Since: July 2011 Posts: 43 Send Message	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

	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

	1901 for Katie - she was the daughter of JOSEPH and Emily. This Joseph 1851 was the brother of John1868. So...
