BRADSHAW / FERNLEY Hi Sarah & Joan, thank you for your help I thought it may be a long shot as I know you have helped me in the past with my grandmother, but I haven't found a great deal regards to my grandfather & a few weeks ago a chap contacted me & thinks he may have some service medals that belonged to him but he has details that he would have had to of been in the British army but he found he came to Aust 1901 & found my gran (Lydia) came out here 1919, but my father was born April 1919 so my guess is Harold must have gone back to England & was married over there & then came out here again while gran was pregnant, so I was trying to find a marriage cert or find if Harold was in the forces over there but I think I have hit a dead end at the mo, but thank you for your help Cheers Carol -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 12:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ENG-LAN-BOLTON Digest, Vol 3, Issue 122 When replying to a digest message, quote only the specific message to which you are replying, removing the rest of the digest from your reply.

Anyway I have checked what I have and unfortunately I don't have their marraige date, in fact i think it was you that supplied to me the fact they married an had son Ralph HB. I just had a quick look on BMD and could not find a marriage match listed. Maybe you could try lancs on line parish clerk if you think they married in the county. All i have for Lydia is that she was living in Bury on the 1901 census, prior to that - in 1891- she lived At Stock Hillock but was born on Glynne st Farnworth Bolton. Another kind lister, i think, supplied Lydia's mum, garndpa Ralph and the Farrand, Stanley forebears. On my notes I have that Harold was the son of John Bradshaw b. 1854 who in turn was the son of Joseph Bradshaw and Mary ( nee Smith) , although there are no sources here for that info. I have Ralph's siblings Deborah , Charlotte and George. I also got APHoughton/fernley's brother George who married Sarah Ann Cawley, and some of their kids - but i probbaly sent that to u already. I have been working on other lines of my tree as I am still no further with where or when Lydia's mum ( APHF) died. The Houghtons lived at Stott Hillock aka Stock Hillock, this seems to have been named after a cotton mill which was there at least from 1847 - my 1847 map shows it. later maps simply show it as a small group of houses with the mill gone. let me know if any of that is any use and where you are at with it all.

I need to know the marriage dates for Lydia Faith Fernley & Harold Bradshaw I assume they were married in England, Harold was born 17/9/1887 & Lydia was born 13/11/1887. I hope Sarah or someone can help me with the date of this marriage. Many thanks Cheers Carol ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 20:37:06 -0400 From: Joan Bridges <[email protected]> Subject: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] Lydia Fernley/Bradshaw marriage To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected][192.168.0.101]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Hi Carol. I was in touch with you quite some time ago with regards the above. Like Sarah, I have searched and searched for Lydia's marriage without success. She is not on FBMD: LBMD or Lan-OPC. My interest is in John Thomas Fernley, Lydia's father. He married 'my' Elizabeth Ann Bromiley in 1905. His first wife, Annie [Partington Houghton] Fearnley was, I believe, at 29 Bullock St. Bolton in 1901 (RG13/3618/159/26) She was married, age 41, no occupation. She was a visitor in the home of Frank & Mary E. Richardson. I have tried, but have not been able to find a connection between Annie & the Richardsons. There is a death for Annie Fearnley Bolton Dec Qtr. 1903 Age 43 LMBD Farnworth Reference No. FTH/78/341 From experience, I have found that deaths registered in Farnworth for this time period, usually occurred at Fishpool [the workhouse] and the informant is usually the Master of the workhouse. But it might be worth an e mail to Bolton Register Office. e mail address [email protected] Not that any of this helps with the marriage you are looking for :-( HTH & Good luck.

An excellent booklet on Bolton. I picked it up last year from Sweetens Bookshop, Deansgate. I then walked around the area, using the map the back cover. [Things have CHANGED!!!] "I belong to Bolton" by Norman Kenyon. Published in 1989 by Neil Richardson. ISBN 1 85216 041 1 ?3.25. The descriptions of conditions 70 years ago are pretty intense.
