Biography

John was born in 1776 if the 1841 census is accurate.

The profile has him being born in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, but this is 150 miles away from Wycombe where he married Ruth Brooks in 1795.

John and Ruth had a son John in West Wycombe in 1798 (no other children in the parish register).

He was most probably living in Bledlow workhouse in 1841, and passed away in 1843.

Research Notes

As of November 2023 it looks like the marriage and subsequent records in the Wycombe area relate to a different John Bradbury to that born in Eccleshall, as the son John can be found working as an agricultural labourer in the Wycombe area (Ibstone) in both 1851 (https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1851%2F0000378644) and 1861 (https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1861%2F0005224294)
