I tried looking some more Could see 3 of Bradshaw births but not Annie And only 2 Parker - Richard born 1863 so "2 years later" does that put Annie in 1861 Did you look at the George death in 1864? Nearest Richard death in Ancestry was 1870 Otherwise all I say is if he called son George then perhaps his father was also George and maybe his mother or siblings might be Elizabeth, Jane, Maria and Annie. Trouble is Elizabeth is such a popular name In which case there is this family at Rotherhithe St Mary Southwark and father is Geo* and mother Eliz* with various second names If same family note first child is both Ann and Jane Name Date Parent Names Parish or Poor Law Union Borough View Images Ann Jane Bradshaw 25 Feb 1818 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Ann Bradshaw Eliza Mary Bradshaw 25 Aug 1819 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw George Bradshaw 17 Jan 1821 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw Caroline Elizabeth Bradshaw 24 Jan 1823 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw 14 Jun 1826 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw George Bradshaw 14 Jun 1826 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Margt Bradshaw Last elsewhere but sounds like same parents Elizabeth Bradshaw 23 Sep 1829 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw Whitechapel St Mary Tower Hamlets Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-06-10 10:08 AM, Shirlee Cantwell wrote: > Four of the Bradshaw children have been registered > with George Bradshaw as their father, the fifth > child (my great grandmother Annie Bradshaw), > although registered as a Bradshaw did not have her > fathers name recorded on the birth certificate. > Two years later she had the first of 4 children to > Richard Parker, no marriage every found.
