Pete and Wendy
Bradshaw's Family Tree Web Site
Who were Biddal Nix, Dinah Arsnip, Flowers Allpress, Fyll Tubb and Mary
Christmas..?
This is the family tree for Pete Bradshaw and Wendy Offen of Durham, England.
Find your link to our family in the complete alphabetical index of names.
The bulk of this material was researched over many years by Pete's dad, the
late Maurice
Bradshaw, through interviews, the study of memorabilia and searches of
parish records and censuses. We have added to this from the IGI and from the
1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses of England and Wales, the
general register office indexes plus other bits and pieces picked up on the
web.
Particular thanks is given to those who provided us with details from their own
research into their own families, especially: Cave, Lecomber, Macer, Offen,
Skelton, Skerman, Vinter, Waddelow and Wilderspin.
We are particularly concerned for the accuracy of those families where we have
more comprehensive coverage, e.g. Wilderspin, Skerman, Eversden, Nix, Offen,
Lecomber, Muncey, Holdstock (Beds), Tanton (Yorks), Hasnip (Lincs), Waddelow
(Cambs), Archer (Warks), Bradshaw (Cambs),...
Please e-mail 
if
you have any comments on details of the family tree, particular if you can
point out any errors.
Current burning issues are the birth details of: William Skelton (1767), John
Bennett (1780), Houlbrooke Ashton (1810), Henry Cowdery (1805), William Ellwood
(1813) and William Bradshaw (married Martha Atkinson 1745).
CONVENTIONS
We have published here every bit of information we have which links to us in
some way. Some of this we know is unproven, and this should be indicated by the
word "possibly" or a question mark. Sometimes we have included
alternative parents, or totally hypothetical ones, purely as a means of
including more names on the website. All dates are English style - dd/mm/yyyy.
No special treatment has been given to dates in Jan-Mar prior to the moving of
the year end from March to December in 1752 (though the higher number year has
been preferred if possible), so some older dates will be a year out, depending
how you look at it. Birth years derived from census returns try to estimate the
most likely year, e.g. someone who is 4 in 1851 would be given as born in 1846.
Other "birth" dates given are actually the last month of the quarter
year of registration, e.g. someone born at the end of March might be registered
in April and therefore have their birth given as June. To respect people's
privacy no details are given of persons born within the last 100 years and not
known to have died.
