Pete and Wendy Bradshaw's Family Tree Web Site
Who were Biddal Nix, Mary Arsnip, Flowers Allpress, Fyll Tubb and Mary
Christmas..?
This is the family tree for Pete Bradshaw and Wendy Offen of Durham, England.
NB. I HAVE HAD A SERIOUS COMPUTER PROBLEM AND HAD TO REVERT TO A BACKUP FROM EARLY
MARCH. IF YOU HAVE EMAILED ME OR RECEIVED ANY EMAILS FROM ME IN MARCH OR APRIL
COULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME A COPY.
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, Tanton
(Yorks), Hasnip (Lincs), Waddelow (Cambs), Archer (Warks),...
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: Stephen Brown Freeman (1811), William Skelton (1767), John Bennett (1780),
Houlbrooke Ashton (1810) 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 particular effort has been made for dates in Jan-Mar prior to the moving of
the year end from March to December in 1752, 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.
