Question

I'm wanting to know William Braddock's parents and children, read through what I have found already on this profile.

Interesting!  

I had a look on New Brunswick Genealogy Society website, and found nothing there either for William.  

I did find a Rachel Braddock, born about 1933, daughter of John and Jane Braddock, who married David James Crighton in 1851- here's a birth record for one of their children: https://archives.gnb.ca/Search/VISSE/141A1b.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=7129B71D-B4CD-4710-BA44-50B93EBD8C06.  I wonder if she's related?

Yes, the census record you found shows Rachel too, parents John Braddock and Ellen (perhaps Dustan) according to online family trees.  

I wouldn't put too much weight on the indigenous angle, this entry shows she was of English extraction and the term "native" was used for anyone who was born in New Brunswick.  The term "Indian" was used to designate a member of the Aboriginal people at this time.

I'll scratch a little more and let you know if I find anything.

Answer 1

no luck on Ancestry but I did just order a book on Irish arrivals into New Brunswick.  He is the right age to have been in the 1847 Famine ships.

Answer 2

possible 1851 Census ????

This William Braddock born in ~ 1831 New Brunswick shows his mother is 

Race:	native (Native American)

Does that support your research??

Thanks, all the dates match so it's likely that this is the same William, might make another research note about the Native American side. also, where is the best place to find the death record for William? I'm not used to Canadian research. :-)

I would reach out to the person at FamilySearch that appears to have done the work on William's sibling Layfette and ask them if they have any info on William.  I did look at the 1861 census' of his siblings at FamilySearch to see if there was a William living nearby but could not see anything.  You may want to spend time there and look at page before and after the sibling census records in 1860.

I have found that usually when the Canadian census records indicate someone is "native" it refers to birthplace - not race or ethnicity.  It means they were born in Canada or perhaps even more specifically in that province.

Answer 3

Have you searched the PANB Database?

The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick?

They have many records that are online and available for free.

That's where I found the marriage to Elizabeth, couldn't find any births/deaths records

Answer 4

Sorry no luck with the  Telegraph Journal newspaper archive searched to 1899.

Answer 5

I live in New Brunswick and know a bit about researching NB Roots.  I do not find anything in the Provincial Archives on this person, with either last name spelling but the second spelling you give looks a lot like the English last name Broderick which is plentiful in New Brunswick.  I am wondering if there's a possibility his name was re-spelled/anglicised/briticized at some point?
