Hi,
I think we are related.I am the daughter of Thomas
Albert Bratt,second son of Henry Thomas Bratt
and Hannah Jane Handley.
These two were married at Christ Church,Blackpool
on27/11/1902.(I have their certificate.)
She was born on07/12/1882,her father was Roger
Handley;her mother was Sarah Ann, nee Dakin.
I've only just started researching,so didn't know there were so many greataunts and -uncles.

If it helps you,my dad and his elder brother Henry
(Harry) were brought up by two maiden aunts,one of whom was Eliza Handley,living at 105 Hawes
Side lane,Blackpool in 1967.


It was great to find your info on GR,
Hilary Squib-Barnett

P.S I am in Britain,are You in Britain?

Hello I am a descendant of Henry Thomas Nathaniel Bratt born in 1850 in Eccles, Lancashire, England and Eliza Fletcher born in 1855 in either West Bromwich, Staffordshire or more probably Rhyl, Wales. The family appear to have moved from Eccles to Warrington, back to Manchester and then to Blackpool. Henry and Eliza had eight children: - Nathaniel born in Warrington in 1882, married in Lytham Anne Rothwell born 1904 - Henry (or Harry) Thomas born in Lyme (?) in 1882, married in Blackpool Hannah Jane Handley born 1902, then in 1921 married as his second wife Minnie Ada Fuller in Rotorua, New Zealand who was born in 1884 - Earnest born in Warrington in 1887, married in Warrington Annie J Sherratt born in 1908 - my grandmother Violet (or Violetta) Bratt born in Ardwick, Manchester in 1891, who married as her first husband my granddad William Oultram born in 1891 - Ruth born in Fallowfield, Manchester in 1892 married Albert Hartup who was born in 1896 - Mary born in Fallowfield in 1894 unmarried - Rachel born in Blackpool in 1898 unmarried - Clara (or Clarice) born in Blackpool in 1901, who married Christopher Boutland I'm looking for any information on the Bratt family, but specifically I'm seeking details of Henry's parents/ancestors and the descendants of Nathaniel, Henry and Earnest. Thanks, Ian
