Violet and Hilda Bradbury
I don't know if any one can help me.I'm trying to trace Bradburys in England but I have very little information.My grandmother was Violet Bradbury and her ancestry had been a complete mystery - even to her - for many years.Unfortunatley she is no longer with us, but my mother is very keen to know where she comes from.What we know is:My grandmother was born in a mission in Doncaster, Yorkshire after her mother was sent away in shame to have a baby out of wedlock.We have her birth certificate which lists her date of birth as thirteenth of May 1924 and her mother as Hilda Bradbury a housemaid.Unfortunately, there is no father mentioned and Hilda's residence is listed as the Mission.We believe the family actually came from London.Other than that we know nothing.I know it's a long shot but someone might have a family with a Hilda and a rumour of an illigitimate daughter I suppose!If any one can help please let me know.ThanksVicky
