Hi blackrose,

You're probably best asking on Trying to find boards, there are some very helpfull people on there.

the unoffical wife was there in number 34 and moved to the Camberwell address on 30/8/1918,and my grandfather died on the 14/11/1918

Hi Dutch,

Sorry was just about to reply when someone knocked on the dooor.

Have you considered asking the local library at Camberwell to do a 1917/1918 electrol roll look up? They may charge you for this though.

Seeing that Jenny was listed as his "unoffical wife" looks like Jenny was his partner, did they have any children?

Hi Dee
i dont know if there was any children but there could have been he was only 45 when he died,my father never spoke about his family at all so have been finding things out as i go along

EDIT>>>>>>>>>>> I see Jenny was never named as the unoffical wife on the records, however helen still claimed his pension....... I suppose for the son they had she would be more entitled than Jenny. He was a man with a good education and career........... did he leave a will??? Is Jenny mentioned in it??


Dee x

Hi Dee
yes one of the ladys has sent me all the records of him and his son who was also in the army.his brother my Dad he was in the Australian Army ,and was,nt there when his dad died,i got told he did leave awill ,but ive got to try and find were to look ,ive got copy of my g,grandparents will,as my Dads brother was the one to sort it out,there were two sons and two daughters and they were mention in there g,parents will,so i,ll go and see if i can find my g,fathers will
Dutch

Hi Dutch!
Just a suggestion - You don't think that the "Unofficial Wife" mentioned in the records could refer to Helen? If they were divorced in 1904 then legally she wasn't his wife, but the War Office must have regarded her as some sort of wife still if she received his medals and a pension.

yes i thought that and shes buried with him and one of there daughters ,but still know wiser about Jenny Bradley

Would it be worth buying credits on the 1911 to look at the image and see what description is given for Jennie?

That may answer at least some of your questions.


It costs £6.95 for 60 credits, and the census image would take 30 credits.
