Does anyone have a link to an Arthur BRANTOM/BRANDOM who was born circa 1859 and was living in High Street Eaton Bray in 1881 with father-in-law Joseph ROOM?
My greatgrandmother had an illegit son named Willie Brandom SCRIVENER in Leighton Buzzard and there is a note in the parish records to the effect that the father was thought to be an Arthur BRANDOM of Linslade, painter. The above-mentioned Arthur would seem to be a likely candidate.

Hi Peter

Found the Arthur you mention on census but he is always down as an agricultural laborer.
Can you tell me Willies mothers name as I can't find anything on census for them.
Found Willie's birth registered Leighton Buzzard December 1877.
If I have more info there might be a clue somewhere.

Found an entry in Workhouse records:

Birth 21st October 1877 name blank illegitamet son of Mary Ann Scrivener charged to Leighton Buzzard.
Beds Records Office do have information on the Workhouse so maybe some help there.

There is another Arthur son of Jeremiah born c1863 also living in the High Street in 1881.
Can't find any who are painters.Could this be mistranscribed and be plaiter.

my great great grandmother was Eliza Brandham.  Many of the Brandhams went to salt lake city.
