I am looking for Margaret Bradburn (nee Holt) b1832 Cheshire and James Bradburn b 1829 Lancashire who had a daughter Ada Margaret Bradburn b1859. I think they emigrated to USA as Ada was married in Nebraska in 1886. Would anyone be able to find details of the family in Usa? Any other children apart from Ada etc?
Thanks Diana

Yes. I think this is OK as I know Ada was born in Didsbury Lancashire/Cheshire and the date is right and the parents were Margaret Holt and James Bradburn.

I wonder if this is them in 1900. They emigrated in 1872. Edith is a school teacher. Perhaps Daisy E is Daisy Edith?
