I have something slightly different in my tree.... but I've only recently been looking at these people so haven't done much checking yet & maybe there are several Thomas BRADFORDS?

I have Thomas BRADFORD marrying 3 times..
The first to Catherine TINSLEY on 11 Jun 1821 ...from IGI ... St. Peter's Wolverhampton

I have 3 children for them ..... Thomas BRADFORD ( b 1827), John BRADFORD (B.1831) and Eliza Bradford (B.1833)
I believe these three are on that 1841 census Mark had listed for Gospel End, Sedgley

I think Catherine TINSLEY died in 1833.... then Thomas remarried Elizabeth WEDGE in 1837
I have listed in my tree ...two children from this marriage ... Sarah BRADFORD (1838) and James BRADFORD(1839)
I have Elizabeth as dying in 1849 ...... Thomas was listed as a widower on that 1851 census that Mark had for Gosepl End

I think I have Thomas in 1861 .... Bilston St. Sedgley
Thomas BRADFORD(59) nailmaker,
wife Mary(55) nailmaker,
son Joseph(10) .
boarder Thomas BROWN(22)unmarried iron roller...all born Sedgley

Haven't found the marriage for these 2 yet ( Thomas and Mary) ... so can't check to see if it is the same Thomas BRADFORD?

I also have a different death date for Thomas ... I had 1863 in Sedgley... but then, again, I don't know if I have the right Thomas?

Could that be Elizabeth Welch??

Yes... I think WELCH is WEDGE.
If you imagine the letters being a bit smudged.... then WEDGE could easily look like WELCH

Can't quite work out who Benjamin FRANCE is .... were they actually married?
When did he die/ did he die?
and were those other WEDGE children ....( Herbert and Sarah)... children of Elizabeth and Benjamin ..... or Elizabeth and Thomas BRADFORD?
Sorry... bit confused this morning!

I would say he fathered Maria but they were not married.

He is not mentioned on the baptism.

SInce the information of him being the father comes from a LDS ancestral file, I would say they found proof in bastardry records or similar.

No mention of father on baptisms.
