I don't know the answer to that and the person who I'm trying to find out for has gone to bed an I am heading that way. Will get back to you tomorrow "Good Night" and Thanks for you interest and reply's If you find any more on this Saga please let me know. "Thanks Again"

George, when was it announced in a paper? Was it allegedly before or after his marriage to Catherine Minnie? I'm not seeing anything in the newspaper archives.

When/where was your Sybil Rowswell born?

It was announced in a paper that That James Fox Bradley was going to marry Sybil Rowswell we are trying to find the marriage I think he went to prison and she dumped him. What do you say ???
thanks

George, in your opening post you say "was supposed to marry Sybil Rowswell" - I think that's the key to unravelling this.

On what basis was he supposed to have married her?

I wonder if this relates to his first wife (that's if he did actually remarry - I suspect not)

I wonder why they're saying married 10 years on the 1911 when the records show they only married in 1909?

George, sorry that's it. Nothing later other than the tree adverts.

Looks like him in 1911:

BRADLEY, James Fox Head Married 10 years M 31 1880 Bill Porter Wellingham Staffs
BRADLEY, Minne Fox Wife Married 10 years F 31 1880 Hastings

According to the image he was a bill poster (not porter).

They'd had two children, one had died but no mention of where the living one was.

Is there a follow up to this do you know MarieCeleste
The steeling one Thanks He may have been in prison and maybe why they didn't marry

A theatre manager could equate to a circus manager?

Headline: CIRCUS BILLS STUCK ON TREES
Publication:Dundee Courier
Publication date:Wednesday 15 July 1936

Article text:"The publicity manager of a travelling circus was fined £5 yesterday for a contravention of the Advertisement Bye-Laws Act.
He was James Fox Bradley, Burstow Lodge, Horley, Sussex. It was stated he had stuck advertisements on gateposts and trees all over Perthshire."

A possible reporting:

Headline: LEICESTER BOROUGH POLICE
Publication:Leicester Chronicle
Publication date:Saturday 22 January 1898

Article text:"James Fox Bradley (20), of Willenhall, was charged with stealing various articles, valued at 12s, the property of Messrs. Palfreyman Bros., pawnbrokers, in whose employ he had been. Prisoner was arrested at Willenhall, and the prisoner was remanded."
It goes on to say that more serious charges may be preferred against him.

He was a Theatre Manager I've just found out Does this help
