Hello, my Bradley ancestors in Canada all originate from Samuel Bradley of Wexford, Ireland. I have been desperately trying to get hold of John A. Acton's book "Bradley families County Wexford, Ireland Lansdowne Township, Leeds County, Ontario" to purchase or borrow through the library, but can't find it anywhere. Would anyone know of this book or where it can be located? Thank you so much.

Hello there!
is this also you?

I am descended from the same family and have lots of info for you.
I don't know about the book you mention, but would be very interested in it too if you find it.
I can send you a page from "Forging New Frontiers: Bradley Family History featuring descendants of William Keyes Bradley. My cousin sent me this today and I was thrilled that it includes Samuel's wifes name ( Jane Willis).
Please send me an email address if you'd like me to send you a 1935 newspaper article of Bradley Family history, the page I mentioned, and a couple of other print items.
All the best!
Cousin AJ

Hi AJ,

Yes, that's me... I forgot my login details a few times.

I received John Acton's book from his extremely kind and generous family members thanks to Alan's help. The information in it is amazing. I would be pleased to send you any information I might have, and would love to see the page you referenced. Very good to see another family researcher! My email is polly7@sasktel.net

I am a Bradley descendant as well. I have found little information on them. I'll have to look into that book, it probably has a lot of the information I am lacking.

My great grandmother was Clara Arabella Bradley 1890-1910. She was born in Frontenac, Ontario and died in Kingston, Ontario Canada.. Her father was William James Bradley born in Landowne Ontario Canada in 1849. He died Sept 18 1934 in Mountain Grove Ontario. His father was George Bradley, born 1826, he married Christine Landon. I don't have much information on them. I have read his father was William Bradley who came to Canada with his father Samuel, along with his siblings about 1817.

I have found George - born 1826 in my tree as well as his descendants. He was a brother to

"George is shown on an 1861 map of Lansdowne Township at Lot A in the 2nd Concession. He is buried in the Union Cemetery with his wife and daughters Caroline, Mary Ann and Ida."

My tree shows him married to Clarissa "Clara" Ramsey. His father, William Bradley, married to Christine Landon.

I have William James Bradley - born 1849, married to Emeline Godfrey.

Christine Landon was married to your William James Bradley's great grandfather,- William Bradley, son of Samuel who first came to Canada. This information was received first from another Bradley researcher, I think I must have verified it from the book also, but don't have it right now.

My aunt has the John Acton book at the moment and I will have to call her and see if she's finished with it yet, but will look and see if there is anything more on George. I don't believe so, or I would have noted it in my tree but maybe I missed something.

I am attaching a few files for you to have a look at. I believe my information is correct but could very easily be mistaken. If you have other that you would care to share I would greatly appreciate it. Also, do you have an email address I could send a PDF file to? It won't accept that type of file here. My email address is polly7@sasktel.net if you would feel better sending it there.

Thanks,

Lois
