Roger Bramley<\/strong> was born in 1696 in Simonstone, five miles from Mearley, and 1 mile from Padiham.<\/p>\n

It is believed he is the son of William Bramley (1670-1743) and Sarah Brocksup who married in Padiham on 14 July 1695.<\/p>\n

I have been unable to find a baptism for Roger to confirm this – and I’ve checked under both his mother and father’s surnames.<\/em><\/p>\n

William and Sarah had five children – Roger (1695-1768), Lawrence (1705-1705), William (1706-1712), Mary (b1706), Bridge (1708-1708). William died in Padiham in 1743.<\/p>\n

Roger Bramley of Simonstone, married Mary Stephenson<\/strong> of Simonstone on 29 August 1719 at St Leonard’s in Padiham, Lancashire. The marriage was mistakenly registered under “Bramberley”.<\/p>\n
