Welcome to the Baker-Bradbury
family history
Here
are just three of the people in my family history database. The picture
on the left shows Fanny Deakin and her daughter Lizzie (sitting)
outside their home in Wetley Rocks, Staffordshire. Fanny (nee Ball,
born 27th January 1850) was my great, great grandmother. The picture
was probably taken sometime after the turn of the 20th century.
The picture to the right is Samuel Harvey, my great, great grandfather.
His daughter
Sarah (known as Sally) married Fanny's son William Deakin.
I've put Samuel's
picture here because he serves as a warming to
all family history researchers .... check information provided by the
family. It took me several years to track down the place of birth
of Samuel because the family information was slightly wrong ... it was
right for most of his siblings but not for Samuel ... and it was a long
time before I realised that. I kept thinking my search was inadequate.
His picture too is apparently misleading. He was a gardener and not in
the habit of wearing smart clothers. Here he is apparently posing for
photography students.
Click on the tools at the
top of the page to search the database and see if any of my ancestors
are the same as yours. I have collected the data from many sources,
including those kind enough to share their research. Where possible I
have given attributions in the source information. If any of my
information helps you to develop your own family history, please feel
free to use it.To
protect the privacy of
living individuals I have filtered their personal information from the
database.
I have done my best to
validate the information in this site but I cannot guarantee it has no
errors. If you see an error or can add to our pool of information I
would love to hear from you. The notes I have added for each individual
will provide a guidance as to how confident I am in the accuracy and
the sources that have been used.
