Bradfield winnipeg manitoba

[SugarB]

I am searching for a Frank Zebulon Bradfield who immigrated to Canada in 1871 from England. He was 18 when he came over. He settled in Winnipeg married a Jane Donald not too sure of the date they married or where, I am presuming Winnipeg or nearby. I know he is buried in Brookside Cemetery but dont know the year, I am thinking 1901, he died rather young. His wife Jane is also buried in Brookside, but not with him. She died Feb 20, 1931. It doesnt mention any children in her obit, but I did find out there is an infant that is buried with her who died Aug 22, 1912. I know they had a son, Alexander and a daughter, dont know her name. Don't know where to go to find out any more information on this family. Any help is appreciated.

From the Manitoba Vital Statistics website, where you can also order copies of the original certs ( http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca//FeesandServices.html) the two deaths:

LAST NAME: BRADFIELD
GIVEN NAMES: FRANK ZEBLAM
DATE OF DEATH: 14/08/1900
AGE: 44
UNITS OF AGE: YEARS SEX: MALE
PLACE OF DEATH: WINNIPEG
REGISTRATION NUMBER: 1900,001590
REGISTRATION DATE:

LAST NAME: BRADFIELD
GIVEN NAMES: JANE
DATE OF DEATH: 20/02/1931
AGE: 73
UNITS OF AGE: YEARS SEX: FEMALE
PLACE OF DEATH: WPG
REGISTRATION NUMBER: 1931,009217
REGISTRATION DATE:

I couldn't find a marriage in Manitoba, so maybe they were married in another province.

You may also wish to write to the Brookside Cemetery (3001 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3H 1B8, (204) 986-4348) and ask about the gravesite. I found them to be very helpful - and even found someone else had been buried in my great grandparents' plot with them!

And looks like him on the Medway - unfortunately it has no other info:
Frank Bradfield
born: abt 1853 Age: 18
Arrival: 4 May 1871
Ship: Medway
Port of arrival: Quebec, Quebec
Port of Departure: London, England

Mary Anne thanks so much for the information. I thought Frank died in 1901 and now I know for sure it was in 1900. Appreciate your help...thanks Jan

[SugarB]

AdeleE thanks so much for your help also. The Automated genealogy site is fantastic. I couldnt seem to get very far with the collections canada site so gave up on that. Thanks so much again for your help.

Jan - Have you researched his English origins in Wiltshire ?
I have Bradfields from Derry Hill and wonder if they could be connected.

Oh Jay ty for the information. I do have Alex Bradfield death info from the Free Press. But what I would really be interested in is getting a picture of Frank Bradfield's headstone in Brookside, I'm suprised that this wife Jane wasnt buried with him. I really appreciate your help.

Sandra, I have a lot of information on Bradfields in Derry Hill, but one thing I do not have is Frank Zebulon's parents information. I'd appreciate any information there. Thanks so much.

If you do not mind me asking, how do you know he is buried in Brookside? A look online only shows the following:
Bradfield Alexander
Bradfield Alexander Edward
Bradfield Elizabeth
Bradfield Infant
Bradfield Jane
I will go to the office at Brookside and get them to look as things do get missed.

Would you like Jane's and Alexander's as well? I would most likely have to wait for things to try up before I can go.

The daughter is:

LAST NAME: BRADFIELD
FIRST NAME: FRANCES LOUISA
DATE OF BIRTH: 20/11/1893
PLACE OF BIRTH: WINNIPEG

The detailed view shows the mother's maiden name as Jane Donald.

I guess it is too late for me to edit that last message.

It finally clicked in that if you have the 1901 census information than you allready know the names. |oopsredfa|oopsredfa|oopsredfa

It looks likely...........

He is buried at Brookside, he is in the same plot as his wife. The stone is six feet tall and in good shape, but the printing is a bit faded. I will PM you when I get home from work to get you the pictures.

In Wiltshire I now have Frank Zebulon Bradfield as the son of James Thomas marr in 1847 to Mary Ann Elliott, listed in 1861 & 1871 Censuses before Frank emigrated as an 18 yr. old.

James Thomas Bradfield identified as the son of James Edward marr ?1819 to Elizabeth Holley.

James Edward Bradfield is the son of Robert marr 1799 to Mary Rose.

Robert Bradfield marr 1765 to Ann Goodship.

So finally sorted.
