We still cant seem to see a birth for Mary Theresa?

Yes hair dresser

From a copy of birth cert on ancestry tree
Adam 1844 son of James a hairdresser of 137,Church Street Preston.

Maryb.

That was Maiden Name of his Mother...

Looks like his Grandfather Adam was Pawnbroker, James Stephenson took over after Death of Adam Braithwaite 1849, perhaps)

Chris :)

What was occupation/address on that 1844 Birth...

So Adam was calling himself Braithwaite?

What was Occupation of James on that 1844 Birth?...

Good spot on that marriage Tiggit- but looking at the information posted by Chris it doesn't appear to be the correct man. He appears in Stockport with his wife Elizabeth Clarke in 1871- listed as born in Bolton.

The 1863 article is a nice find!

Hannah- death was posted by Dea earlier:

Stephenson Adam 32 Preston 8e 450

Guys I just found an old birth certificate that I ordered years ago, rooting around in the loft!
Don't know if this helps?
Adam Stephenson born 23rd October 1844, Preston. Father James Stephenson. Mother Alice nee braithwaite.
I'm getting more and more confused!

Thanks guys.
I'm totally confused! Haha!
Which Adam death certificate should I order? I will see if that tells me any more!

(for Stockport reference, if them)

(James Stephenson, Pawnbroker, Lancaster Road)


14 November 1863 - Preston Herald - Preston, Lancashire, England

PRESTON POLICE INTELLIGENCE
Theft from a Father.—Adam Stevenson, on remand from Saturday, was again brought up on the charge of stealing three pairs of boots belonging to his father, who is a pawnbroker in lancaster-road.—The prisoner had taken the boots from the shop at various times.
He pleaded guilty to the charge, and although his father recommended him to mercy, was sentenced to three months imprisonment, having been before charged with a similar offence, and discharged on the request of Mr. Stevenson.

Well done Tiggit, you new little wonder !!!!!

He didn't waste much time did he ???

If this were my family I'd buy the death certificate of Adam Stephenson to see who registered the death.

This is likely him in 1871 but I don't see a corresponding marriage, or Elizabeth after 1871.

Hannah, it's unlikely to be the 1867 birth you posted above as there is a likely death for that child in 1871.

Malyon- if this is Mary in 1911, then I doubt that 1903 marriage is correct:

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Bottoms Longridge, Dilworth, Lancashire, England

Mary Theresa Bradshaw Wife Widow Female - 43 1868 Preston
John W Bradshaw Son Single Male Cotton Mill Weaver 19 1892 Bottoms

looks like she did Malyon!

Hi there. If you look in search at the top right hand corner you can move down to other peoples trees and if you click on that then put in the particulars of James Bradshaw you will find that John Blackman has a James born in Dilworth 1847. Maybe he could help.
