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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

Could explain the christening date too.

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

She might have been sister's child.

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

Claire, I think that's the Thomas from the family I have in 1841.

Could be younger then you thought or could have been christened late

And there is a Jemima born 1833 in Rock...but her surname is Ashcroft.
Thought maybe there was a marriage for her mother to a Bradley, but that isn't showing either:0(

From looking at the IGI, this may be her parents in 1851

He's a miner

Peter, we could do with some more info, please.

I have a Thomas born c1816 living in Rock With Heightington, Worcestershire, but it looks like he might still be living with his parents, no sign of a Jemima. could be a relation though.

Summer scribe,
Rule out the family from Nottingham as they are still there and he is still a boot maker :0((

I'm focusing on Thomas, looking for him on 1841 in the Worcestershire area, but a year of birth would be very helpful.
