Listers, I've posted in previous years to this list and thought I'd try again. I'm looking for help with these families:Specifically John Bradley to Mary Howard/Howarth; and John's brother(??) William Bradley to Alice Howard/Howarth.William Bradley noted on his USA naturalization document that he was born in Lancashire. (est. 1810-1815). Both couples/families are on the 1850 census in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, USA. William and his wife returned to UK and settled near Norwich Cheshire. Alice was buried in the Norbury Chapel churchyard, Sept 1869; after her death William remarried 13 July 1870 to Ellen Seddon Hardman in St. James Church, Ashton-U-Lyne. William names his father as "Thomas" on that 2nd marriage record. William is buried with his 1st wife in the Norbury Chapel Churchyard 11 Feb 1880. He died intestate both in the UK and USA. John Bradley travelled back to Lancashire as a visitor, posssibly to inquire about a possible fortune left by William, and is on the April 1881 UK census living with James & Mary Ellen Hobson in Dukinfied, Stalybridge, Lancashire; John returned to USA in Nov 1881, steerage; obviously found no fortune. I've studied the UK censuses and BMD records, and Ancestry.com submitted family trees, but as these surnames are fairly common, I've not found good hits that match my narrative. I have a birth/baptism for William in the Little Hulton area that looks good, and a possible match for marriage of John & Mary, but nothing that I can say is definitive. My brother has the name James Albert Bradley, and is a straight shot decendant of John Bradley. I've had him tested by Ancestry.com and FamilyTreeDNA. The Ancestry.com tree can be found in the tree named "My Roots"; you can see the Ancestry DNA results there. I'd like to correspond with others who study these two surnames/families with Lancashire & Cheshire origins. Louise
