Sorry for delay but rhats all the inform,ation i have got.

I wonder if they might have adopted her. *ponders*

She might have been sister's child.

Could explain the christening date too.

She either wasn't born in Rock or she was adopted by Thomas and Elizabeth. Or they some how avoided census.

Please give all details (including John Day's) from marriage cert, Peter.

I can't do anymore until I have more info.

I now think Claire had the right family, Thomas is a miner on 1851 census. I also think that unless Jemima was staying with someone else she was actually his sister's daughter and the adopted her.

On 1841

Name: Thomas Bradley
Age: 25
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1816
Gender: Male
Civil Parish: Rock With Heightington
Hundred: Doddingtree (Lower Division)
County/Island: Worcestershire
Country: England
Street address: Bucknick (?)
Occupation: Labourer

Elizabeth Bradley 50
Elizabeth Bradley 20
James Bradley 9
John Bradley 23
Laurena Bradley 55 (male...could he be laurence?)
Thomas Bradley 25

It is possible that Elizabeth (20) is Thomas' wife rather than his sister. I really wish 1841 had more info.

I can find three weddings on igi for a Thomas Bradley to an Elizabeth.

1. THOMAS BRADLEY Gender: Male Marriage: 27 JUL 1836 Cotheridge, Worcester, England - ELIZABETH CALESS

2. THOMAS BRADLEY Gender: Male Marriage: 26 DEC 1836 Kidderminster, Worcester, England. - ELIZABETH JENNINGS

3. THOMAS BRADLEY Gender: Male Marriage: 28 SEP 1839 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester, England - ELIZABETH NEVILLE

Could be one of them or none of them.

I give up. Some input from Peter would have been helpful, not a lot you can do if a question is posed and the person disappears. Sorry.

Sorry for delay.John Day was 34 and a widower - he was a cordwainer.His father was a cordwainer and living in a place called Grimley,Worcestershire
