From Family Search I've found the death of an Elizabeth Bradley in January 1819 in Notts in the Non Conformist Register....how can I find out more about her ?

You can probably find out more at bmdregisters.co.uk but not for free I'm sorry to say. The burial you've mentioned is there (although without an exact date it may not be the same one). The only (free) detail that is not in the familysearch detail is an explanation of the TNA reference
RG4/1351 Register of Births at George Street Particular Baptist Chapel in the Parish of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire from 1742 to 1837, with a Register of Burials from 1785 to 1837

Thank you both. Elaine, can I get a copy even though I have no idea where in Notts it is ?....it just says Nottinghamshire....& where would I get it from ? (Ask at Nottm Archives ?)I'm too tired to look up the exact date now (though I've got it), but I reckon it's the one David has found, since it's the only death of an Elizabeth Bradley in Notts I've found for the dates I'm looking at & George Street Nottm would be a VERY promising location

Thanks very much.
I've got a question about the bmdregisters site. I searched for Elizabeth Bradley & got a birth with an Elizabeth Bradley as the mother. It didn't mention the father. Does this mean that it was an illegitimate birth or would you have to search for the father's name separately ?

I'm pretty sure that the answer to your question is that the birth is not necessarily illegitimate and secondly you would need to find the father's name. FamilySearch will probably give you that information. Without a subscription I suspect the only information you get extra from BMDregisters is the place, extracted from the reference number.

Do you have Ancestry Grey - she is on this page, near the bottom:

However the name looks like Bradbury to me (and is transcribed by Ancestry as that too). Father was Jonathon if that helps.Linda

Added in Edit: interestingly in the register the same named people Jonathan and Mary Bradley had another child born on 22 Jun 1819 who they named Elizabeth. Not uncommon, in my limited experience, for parents to recycle names of dead children.Last edited by DavidNewton; 30-10-13, 09:45.

I'm going a bit off topic here but I like to follow up the history. Bearward Lane is mentioned as the site of interment several times; there is an interesting old article here (there is a copyright notice on the page so just a link)
where it is claimed that the name Bearward Lane was changed to Mount Street in 1800 but that many locals ignored the change and continued to refer to it as Bearward Lane - as evidenced by these registers.
