REVIEW

This Caroline Bradley has been repeatedly described as Catherine Rundle Bradley, ( Catherine Bradley ) of Westminster, Middlesex in many Newport family trees. There is no evidence to date that this was a correct assignment as partner of Samuel Newport

It is far more likely that Samuel Newport's partner was Caroline Bradley, who is described within the marriage registers as of "this parish". There a number of Ellesborough family candidates for whom complete family groups have not yet been confirmed.

The handwritten copy of the Ellesburgh Register 1794(sic) indicates that "Caroline Bradley of this parish married Samuel Newport of the parish of Great Missenden by banns, on 23 Nov 1795 (image held Isaacs-1494)
