Thankyou for your help, Sylvia, and again on Mon, 27 Dec 2004

Joseph Bradford 1817 - 1901 and Ann Lydia Griffiths 1822 - 1873 died at Northcote, had 7 children, came 1854 to Melbourne on the "Thorwaldsen".
Anne Lydia Bradford 1822 - 1873 #5053, aged 51, daughter of Lydia Woodbridge and John Griffiths, shoemaker, was born in London. There is an IGI entry for her parent's marriage in Stoke Newington, London in 1821 although I have not looked at the film to confirm this.

2. Lydia Bradford 1847 - 1878 #2805 aged 31 born in London, wed 1871 #3466 to Carl August Robert Schwabsch from Prussia

I thought that Carl August Robert Schwabsch and Carl August Adolph Schwaebsch were the same person.
Carl August Adolph Schwaebsch wed 1887 #13 to Ellen Caroline Cadby from Birmingham.

From on Wed, 23 Apr 2003
Carl August Robert was Carl August Adolph's Uncle according to our records. I can't tell you how confusing it was for us trying to puzzle all the Carl's together!! As well, our surname was changed in the 1900's from Schwaebsch to Swebbs.
