Good evening
Thank you for the info. have been into FreeBMD, the sarga Bradford is becoming ever stranger for me. Was only able to access information from 1914 - 1922, no info for the years 1900-1913
Dad rarely talked about his family, so to discover what looks like a larger number of brothers and sister! not sure what to think.
The two boys born/died prior to the 1901 census I can accept.
What dad had mentioned in the family was about his youngest brother Clifford dying aged 3 and his parents being buried with him, makes sense as the grave was purchased by Alice after the death of John in 1934.
If these are all full brothers/sister did they all die in childhood! even a birth in Kent could make sense as it was the centre of hop picking.
I will have to contact Rippleside to see if they have any other Bradfords buired in paupers grave.
I have a copy of my G/parents M/C showing the marriage at St Stephens at the time of marriage John lived at 10 Shorts St Crooks Place and Rosa at 2 Shorts St.

Just a short up date. Thank you, for all the info provided and while I am no where sorting out who or where my g/father lived, prior to 1901.
I have found brothers and sister of my late father who I had no idea about, the sadness of all family mysteries is that even after my father died he still had living brothers and sister who might have be able to tell a story even if it was one that I might not like, but that is what makes familes intresting.

I though I would do an update on my research into the family of My Grand father John Bradford.
In July last year Janice mention the Gair family with there Nephew John Bradford living with them at the 1881 census I had already look at this family. neither accepting or discarding it, but could make no sense of the family make up.
I had a copy of John and Rosa's marriage cert. this showed John's father as also John but dec'd at time of marriage.
Anyway I kept on looking for a father John with a son John born around the 1878/79 time, but without any success, at this point I deceided to look at the profession shown on the cert.
It showed that John's father had been a Turner.
I put this information into the system up came William Bradford and family.
William and his sons all seemed to work with wood a number being Turners.
I then sent for the B/C for John born in 1879, it came back with his parents being Henry Oaks Bradford and mother Charlotte Johnson.
Henry was one of the younger sons of William.
I then looked for a match with the Johnson family, found one where there was also a Hannah Johnson who's aged match with Hannah Gair.
Traced a marriage for William Gair and Hannah Johnson married in 1857 and all in the St Pancras Camden Kentish Town area of London.
