I am looking for the daughters of James and his wife. My
GGGrandfather married Elizabeth Bardsley in New Castle Delaware. I know that James and his family lived in New Castle until 1849 when they relocated to Philadelphia. The wedding announcement stated that her family was living in Philadelphia in 1850. I know that James had 3 daughters and three sonsin 1846 when they were attempting to return to England and their ship (Thomas P Cole) caught on fire and they returned to Philadelphia.
ANy information you can supply on this family would be VERY helpful

Re: Pennsylvania-New Jersey Bardsleys, where are you?

needhamk1 — 2009-02-13 05:24:09Z

If I could, I would love to have more information on Edward Elmer Bardsley's family and his father William Bardsley. I am interested in other families as well. My great-grandfather is Samuel Breward Bardsley-son of Edward Elmer Bardsley and brother of Hannah Bardsley.

My email address is knoelle@msn.com
I hope to hear from you =)

Re: Pennsylvania-New Jersey Bardsleys, where are you?

needhamk1 — 2009-02-13 04:39:40Z

Yes these fit with my tree =) haha i remember apu said that he went to a Bardsley reunion in the early 80's before I was born. I was born in 1982.

It's so great to know that I am probably related!!

Re: Pennsylvania-New Jersey Bardsleys, where are you?

needhamk1 — 2009-02-13 04:35:09Z

Hello! I talked to my grandfather, and he told me that he remembered Hannah Bardsley. All he remembered of Edward was that he was always in his room and when he wanted to talk to Leigh, it was always very brief and VERY formal. And both he and Samuel were always tinkering and building things/tearing them apart. Apu mentioned an invention for Samuel Breward Bardsley Float-valve operating mechanism for flush tanks. Apu (grandfather) is looking for more information.

My grandfather married Ingeborg Gugel, she came over from Switzerland. Apu met her while he was in the war. Together they had my mom, Gwyneth Bardsley. Married Steven Needham, divorced and remarried to a Sewter.
I moved away from PA in 2001 to pursue college. Thank goodness I'm almost done!!!!!

Edward's wife was named Jennie Whittle. Both ladies who've posted recently will have wonderful info.

Cheers,

Hi Kyndra

Edward is my great-grandfather. :] My dad, his grandson, has mentioned his "Uncle Breward." Actually I think he's mentioned his Aunt Julia as well.

The 2 ladies who also responded have GREAT info. I can forward you a pic of a toddler-aged Samuel Breward. Let me know if you are interested and if there's an email I can send it to.

Re: Pennsylvania-New Jersey Bardsleys, where are you?

needhamk1 — 2009-02-08 18:23:13Z

Hello! I am replying to this because some of the names are familiar. My mother's name is Gwyneth Ann Bardsley (nee. Needham).

My grandfather's name is Leigh Breward Bardsley who married Ingeborg Gugel. His father's name is Samuel Breward Bardsley and S.B.B.'s father is Edward Elmer Bardsley (my great-great grandfather).

Samuel B. Bardsley married Julia Evelyn.
Does this coincide with your tree?

Thanks,

Hi Ann

The stars just aren't aligning! I just posted here, but it didn't take. So I'm trying again. On Monday I tried your aol email and got a bounceback. I'll try that again too.

Try copying and pasting the following directly into your email.

swamp__scott@juno.com

Here is an alternate.

stargazer_lily27@hotmail.com

I am in Baltimore County. In the meantime you may want to check the Breward board for one of my postings.

Take care,

Re: Pennsylvania-New Jersey Bardsleys, where are you?

2006-11-15 23:24:18Z

Hi Mary,
I tried again but my e mail bounced back again. I don't understand why it doesn't work. Anyway, I have an awful lot of information about the Bardsley's and associated familys that I would be happy to share with family but am not too keen on sharing with the world at large. I am sure that we are cousins of some sort. Your grandmother Hannah (daughter of Edward Elmer Bardsley) and my father Leonard (son of Winfield Scott Bardsley) were first cousins. Winfield was born in 1867 but didn't marry until 1909, so my father was younger than Hannah. Leonard was born in 1913. Edward and Win were close and they were in business together for awhile. When William ran for City Council he sold his stationary store on Germantown ave. to his sons and it became EE and WS Bardsley & Co. Winfield later sold his interest to Edward.

I would like to know what you have and what you would like to have. I have gone back to William's grandparents and have some info on the various spouses families. I would love to have more info. on Edward's children and grandchildren.

If all else fails I can send you stuff by snail mail. Or, maybe we are neighbors. I live in Anne Arundel Co. Please write me at keyab@aol.com and let me know how we can connect.

Hi there! It sure sounds like this is the same family. To explain who I am, my grandfather was Harriet Bardsley's son Owen Patterson and my father is Owen's son Gardiner.

The information that I have is basically the information that I put in my first message on here. Since I posted that message, I found more names of Jacob and Charlotte's children. I'm just looking for names of Jacob's parents, grandparents, etc. Would you be able to fill in some of the empty spaces in my family tree?

Thanks,

I am looking for information on my great-great grandfather Jacob Bardsley. He was born Aug. 6, 1862 in Oldham, Lancashire, England. He immigrated to Canada in 1885 and married Charlotte McKenzie in Nova Scotia. His father's name may have been Hugh.

These are the children I know of: Mary, John, Charles, James, Hugh, Jacob, Donold and Harriet (my great-grandmother).

The Bardsley's I have in America and Canada come over before 1912.

If you find out anything more about your Bardsley's in England do get in touch and I'll gladly have another look for connections.

Re: bardsley's of hyde

sshawcross21 — 2007-08-01 20:24:21Z

The Bardsley surname is thought to have originated in the township of Bardsley, between Oldham and Ashton-under-Lyne in Lancashire.

The Bardsley's of Hyde probably migrated to the town through Ashton and Dukinfield. I have many Bardsley's from this line in my tree.

Alas I do not have your Bardsley's. Do you have any dates or other leads that I might be able to make the connection through?

Looking for information on Bardsley's in Kentucky in 1840's

kbardsley06 — 2008-05-12 03:59:21Z

I am looking for any information on my ancestors.

Here is what little I know, I hope it helps.
James Bardsley and Sarah Bardsley both died in Maysville, KY in 1849 (Within a couple of days of each other, I believe of Cholera)
George W. Bardsley born in Louisville or Maysville, KY 2/22/1844
John C. Bardsley born about 1838
Agnes J. Bardsley born about 1840 either in Louisville or Maysville, KY.

The only census I find them in is 1850 and they were at that time Orphans living with a family with the name John Henry Wolf. After that I don't show them being in KY. I can follow George to Kansas and then to Colorado where he died in 1928. But I have completely lost his Brother (John) and Sister (Agnes).

I also really don't have anything on James and Sarah other than what is listed above. .

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you.

rgbutterworth — 2007-12-24 05:51:53Z

Hello, I am trying to find information about my great-grandmother, Eliza Butterworth (nee Bardsley). She was married to Samuel Butterworth in 1905 in Ashton Under Lyne, UK, and emigrated to Canada around 1910, and lived in Hamilton, ON. She and Samuel had two daughters, Doris and Vera(my grandmother). She was born around 1882-3 in Ashton and had a sister named Mary that lived in Ashton as well. I have very little to go on other than this, but I am hoping someone has information about her. If anyone has any information on her, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Robert Butterworth.
