Some years ago, I ordered a marriage certificate for Vernon Albert Mills Bradshaw, who according to the certificate married Henrietta Annie Foot on 27 January 1904 in Edmonton, Middlesex. |

No it means that at that a time there were two marriages to the one GRO page so the bridal couples weren't matched up |

As Shirley says...if you have the certificate then he married the person showing on there. |

Possible. Typical she is listed as Mrs Bradshaw. Will not be one 1911 census if correct person |

Looking at births after 1911 then Goddard married Dopson |

Thank you so much to Shirley, Kathleen, Rambling Rose and GlitterBaby. I am overwhelmed by the response to my question and all your replies have been so helpful! I am not even related to the Bradshaws, but I became obsessed with researching the family years ago when I came into possession of an old Bible listing the names of Job and Mary Bradshaw and their 13 children (of whom 4 died in infancy). This left 8 brothers and only one sister, who was the youngest. The Bible lists their dates of birth and deaths. I wanted to trace a living descendant so that I could pass the Bible on to them. I thought it would be easy because in Queen Victoria's time huge families were the norm. However, my research revealed that amazingly only one of the brothers married and had a child, and that child was Vernon Albert Mills Bradshaw. However, I was unable to find any evidence that Vernon had any children and the trail went cold. However, I have just been contacted by a lady in Australia who says one of her relatives married Vernon in Australia in 1921. (This would have been his second marriage, so not sure what happened to his first wife Henrietta Annie Bradshaw, nee Foot?) It seems they had a son and there may also be a grandson who was born in England but later returned to Australia in the 60s/70s. So I may be able to pass the Bible on to a direct descendant after all! If any of you would like to read an account of my research into the Bradshaw family so far, you can do so by going to www.authorsden.com and searching under Julie Leek. The article is entitled Back to the Bradshaws. Thank you so much for your help. :-) |

Thankyou for the link Julie, having seen the comments on Vernon's medal card on Ancestry I was a bit intrigued! |

Julie - Perhaps an actual example will help you realize what's going on here. |

Seems there was a Doris Bradshaw on the same trip as Vernon, I just wonder if this is the Doris he married |

Hang on to that bible! Seems there's a child born by the second wife |

MGNV, thank you so much for the very detailed information. I sent a query to the GRO and didn't get anything like such a comprehensive explanation. |

Claire, thank you so much for the valuable information you sent me. I have a contact in Tazmania who recently contacted me through another genealogical site saying that Vernon married a kinswoman of her's (Doris Gloster) in 1921, and that they had a son in 1923, born in England. I have therefore sent for Anthony V Gloster Bradshaw's birth certificate, Marylebone 1a 710, Sept 1923. My contact also told me there could be a grandson living in Australia and she is trying to track him down but apparently you have to have the person's permission to acquire a copy of their birth certificate in that country. I wonder if that rule just applies to people who are still living? |

This could be Henrietta although it's difficult to say without the 1911 cenus |

Thanks again Claire. I'll check that out. This Henrietta would be the right age as she was 22 years old when she married Vernon in January 1904. |

There is NO record of Doris Gloster marrying Vernon Bradshaw, or, indeed of Vernon Bradshaw marrying anyone named Doris |
