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.

Thus the direct descendants of Maria Bradley, as far as we can follow the records, ended up in Canada, where they still presumably live.

Third Generation (Third cousins of Hetty Jane Owen’s children: Harold Eldridge and Olwen Eldridge)

The lines continue, but in following their stories, we would in a sense be moving into the territory of Hetty Jane Owen’s descendants rather than her ancestors, which is not the purpose of this tale at least.
