Opening post from one of the others

Hi

I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather siblings:

Mary Fellows Bradford born 1894/5
Elsie May Bradford born 1907/8
William Henry Bradford born 1902/3

My nan also mentioned a Auntie Kate or Kathleen that lived in the Dudley/High Arcal area. Any information on her would be great.

How is this any different? It is still about the same family even if it was about Joseph which it is not

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

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.

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.
