I've looked and looked with many variations of last names and first names, all of them, Sarah, Emma and Elijah without any luck. Usually you would be able to find young Emma somewhere but no luck. There is a big gap between these children. Are they both Elijah's I wonder.

searched high and low on the 1841 census for elijah bradley b abt 1813 eaton nottinghamshire and his family without much luck. Have him on the 1851 census with his wife Sarah and 2 children Mary Ann b 1848 Retford and Emma b1839 retford. He doesn't appear on later censuses either but there is a possibility he was transported t Australia. And the Elijah on that record died in 1859. would like to locate him on the 1841 census to se if there are anymore children as the the one who went to Australia was married with 6 children any help would be appriaciated
thanks Karen
