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. 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 clothes. Here he is apparently posing for
photography students.
Thanks to Thomas Gainsborough, who painted their portraits,
there is also quite a lot of information about the Andrewes
and Carter families, wealthy land owning ancestors of my late husband
Andy. While it is relatively easy to find information about the rich and powerful and interesting to think what life may have been like had mine or my husband's ancestors always been the eldest son of the eldest son, the find that would please me the most is to discover the history of my Bradbury ancestors, why two generations took their mother's surname and who the fathers were!

Where a date of death is not known anyone over 105 is assumed to be dead (there are some long lived individuals amongst our ancestors so we need to play safe!). Registered, authenticated users may see details of their close living relatives. For this reason if you click on "charts" you may see only blank boxes.

New Version
17 January 2009 - 3:13:38pm At the end of 2008 I changed from a Windows system to an iMac which meant I had to migrate my family tree from Family Tree Maker (which doesn't provide a Mac version) to an alternative. I chose Reunion which is very good. However the migration has caused a few problems which have mainly affected the presentation of source references and some names. Reunion distinguishes first name from surname and some complex or partial names were wrongly interpreted when imported. Some of these errors may still be apparent in this copy. I apologize for any inconvenience and I am gradually working through the file to correct them.
1066, crusades, barrons and feudal lords ...
12 October 2008 - 8:33:02pm I have uploaded a new version of the database which includes one of my distant family lines going back to the time of the Norman invasion, through stories of loyalty, treason, heroism and execution. I pieced it together from a number of secondary sources including British History on-line, various local history web sites and several books on medieval families, including Plantagenet Ancestry, available on Google books. My family line occasionally coincided with the main line of decent, but more often than not it was a matter of searching for siblings and cousins and unravelling generation after generation with the same names. The section of the history from William Banks (b 1796) to Elizabeth Littleton (b 1590) was provided by Pat and Ray Banks. I know that they have undertaken thorough research and visited many of the places mentioned and examined primary sources. There is a period of overlap from Elizabeth Littleton (b 1590) to Thomas Westcote (b abt 1384) which is covered in Pat and Ray's published material and which I also discovered for my self.
Using the charts

BMD Certificate Information
27 March 2008 - 4:55:30pm I have begun to catalogue all the BMD certificates I have collected over the last few years. The catalogues can accessed be from the links below-left or from the main genealogy page within The Sticks web site. The catalogues can be sorted and filtered on key fields and full certificate details for individual entries viewed.

It is said that everyone will eventually find a
King and a murderer amongst their ancestry. I've managed to find
several Kings, most notably, through illegitimate decent, Henry
II but as yet don't know if any (apart from some of the more
notorious Kings and their barrons) of my forebears were
murderers. However, my favourite find so far is
