Our first Bradley immigrant ancestor who crossed the Atlantic Ocean was a women!!
Amelia Crow Bradley (1822-1903)
Amelia had been a widow for 14 years when she crossed the Atlantic Ocean at the age of 46. Her daughter Grace was 20 and son Alfred was 18 when they made the journey with her. Amelia's husband Alfred Bradley had died in 1857 of kidney disease. He was 36 years old at the time of his death and his occupation was Wool stapler ( dealer in wool).
On Amelia Crow's birth and marriage record her father is listed as Arlom Crow. On her death certificate he is listed as Allen Crow. I suspect that when Amelia pronounced her father's name in her English accent in sounded like Allen. When Amelia dies her children put down her father's name as Allen because this is what they had heard their whole life. Then when it came time for Amelia's youngest son Alfred Bradley to marry and have children he named his youngest son Allen. This Allen Bradley is our Grandfather.
