I think they travelled from shropshire back to lancs for my nana's birth but as i said maybe she was born in shropshire after all.
I just spoke to my nana and she says all she remembers was her dad was joseph bradshaw (people called him joe) from lancs, he had two brothers, one she think was named bert (i suppose could be albert) and a sister named Lizzie who she thinks lived in preston.
She doesnt know much about her mother florence may ball either, just that she remarried when she was about 50 to a man called martin leese?

Have you got Hilda's birth cert?

Where was she born?

What was her father's occupation?

Reg

do we have florence's DOB?

i dont have her birth certificate, and we think she was born in blackburn, sorry im useless! i will try to find out more.
I dont know florence's dob but maybe if i could find her death certificate.

i posted this earlier.... hildas b
hildas birth j/a/s 1/4 ... blackburn, mmn ball

so florence probably died as Florence May Leese?

Yes thats right wayne.

Thanks everyone for helping, you're all so helpful. I think im going to have to try and get my nana's birth certificate and maybe that can help a bit.
One other quick question, does anyone know how you can get information on someone born as far back as 1771?
when i say info i mean siblings, parents etc....

Hi wayne,
My nana did grow up in oakengates so that would seem right. but the age doesn't seem right for florence does it? because my nana was born 1930 that would make her like 40 wouldnt it?

my nan was 52 when she had my uncle! and my father (his brother) is 30 years older than him !! so anything is possible!

true! but she did marry her second husband when she was about 50 and her first husband died when my nana was about 18 so i dont think it works. It cant just be a big coincidence though, because oakengates is actually where they lived!
