Biography

• Ann Sterritt (or possibly Stirritt, Sterrit, or similar) was born about 1801 in Ireland, possibly Armagh. ^[1]

• Ann Sterritt married James Bradford (abt.1801-bef.1862) about 1825 in Ireland.

• In about 1827 or 1828 (after the birth of Catharine Caroline Bradford and before the birth of Thomas Moore Bradford), Ann (Sterritt) Bradford, James Bradford and their daughter Catharine Caroline Bradford migrated to Canada, ending up in the area of Frontenac and Lennox and Addington counties. ^[2]

• Ann (Sterritt) Bradford and James Bradford had seven children, the first in Ireland and the last six in Upper Canada:
  • Catharine Caroline (Bradford) (Carter) Laughlin (abt.1826-) ^{[3] [2] [4]}
  • Jane Bradford (abt.1829-) ^[4]
  • James Bradford (abt.1832-1902) ^[4]
  • Thomas Moore Bradford (abt.1832-) ^{[5] [6]}
  • Ann Elizabeth (Bradford) Boyce (abt.1834-1916) ^{[5] [7] [8]}
  • Robert Bradford (abt.1837-) ^{[5] [9] [10]}
  • Margaret Bradford (abt.1839-) ^{[5] [11]}

• In 1851, the family was living in Portland Township, Frontenac County, with James Bradford listed as a Widower and Ann (Sterritt) Bradford not listed. The family and four younger children are listed together, as Presbyterians. ^[5]

• In 1851, Catharine Bradford, Jane Bradford, and James Bradford were living with their uncle (Ann (Sterritt) Bradford's brother), John Sterritt (abt.1812-), not far from the farm of her parents. ^[4]

• In the same 1851 Census, on a neighbouring page, but apart from the rest of the Bradford Family, a Catharine Bradford (18 yrs old, born in Ireland, Presbyterian, Single) is listed immediately after James O'Connor (20 yrs old, born in Ireland, Catholic, Single). These individuals are listed immediately after eight members of the Spike family, but whereas the Spikes are listed as "Residents" and "Members," Catharine Bradford and James O'Connor are listed as "Residents" and "Not Members." They may have been boarding with the Spike family. It is not known if they were part of the family of James Bradford and Ann Sterritt. ^{[12] [13]}

• Ann Sterritt passed away before 1851. ^[5]
