Hello I am trying to trace the Bradbury side of my family tree. My Gt Grandfather was WALTER BRADBURY who married DORRIS DIDDLE or DIDLE. They had 4 children, Jessie, who married Stanley Whittaker; Geoffrey who married Blanche Edwards; Harold who married Edith Jackson and my gran Marion who married Albert Rowson. The children were all born in Rochdale Lancashire, and my Gran thinks thats where Doris and Walter were born too. Any information would be great so I can add it to my family tree. Emma

My grandfather was called Walter Bradbury (b1885) and lived in Tottington nr Bury Nr Rochdale. His father was called Richard (c1862) and HIS father was Richard (c1840).

There MAY be a connection if your gt grandfather Walter had any uncles or great uncles called Richard.

Do let me know if this is of any help. Thanks, Richard.
