Can anyone find the following family in the 1871 census please? I've tried looking under individual children's name too. They were living in Stone in the 1861 census. John Bradley b.1838 in Darenth, Kent, but he may have died in 1866 Emma b. c.1836 in Suffolk Jemima Ellen b.1860 Stone, Kent Alfred John b.1863 Stone, Kent John b.1867 Stone, Kent
Not found John yet but Marriages Dec 1884 Bradley Jemima Ellen + Easterby Thomas Dartford 2a-750 ...... Jemima Ellen Easterby died 29 Nov 1951: Chatham Probate Date: 29 Jan 1952 to Thomas Easterby- ................
Sorry Sis, not what I had planned, a phone call [rather important] mid search & I looked for Jemma instead of Emma. Edit:- This is the one I had intended to find. Not found her as a separate person before this marriage & Owen May seems not to have married before. Marriages Mar 1870 Bradley Emma + May Owen- Dartford 2a-398 1871 Name Age Owen May 53 Emma May 43 Owen R. May 10 Esther A. May 7 Charles W.

These are both the same marriage, I'm posting both because one states that the bride was a widow.

Thank you both very much. I can access (for free!) the original marriage records for Stone, so will go take a look.
