The Line of Maria Bradley and Francis Benjamin Boyd Fleuret

Maria Bradley (1817-????), a great aunt of Hetty Jane Owen was the third child of Thomas Bradley and Elizabeth Hounsell.  She was living with her brother Henry and his family in 1861 in their house in 8 Coborn Street, Bow. She married Francis Benjamin Boyd Fleuret in 1841 St Dunstans and All Saints Church. He died in 1846, and the couple had two children.
