Surnames: Bratton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/FdF.2ACEB/360 Message Board Post: I have learned that my great great great granfather Robert Bratton was born in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire around 1833-1834. Are there any online resources specifically for the Staffordshire region which would be likely to provide the names of his parents? I would love to try to work forwards from his siblings if I can find any of them, which I imagine would have been born in the same area around the 1830's. His wife was called Louisa Horton, and they married in 1851. They had at least 6 children from 1855 until 1867 called Robert, John, Herbert, Charlotte, William and Louisa. regards Lorna Culverwell lornac83@hotmail.com
