Dorothy Bradford

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Turvin-1

Dorothy Turvin married Robert Bradford 3 Feb 1557 [1557/8] at Tickhill, Yorkshire.

Estimated birth 1537 20 years before marriage or perhaps earlier. She was perhaps a widow. A son-in-law Robert Turvyne was mentioned in her husband's will, so perhaps Dorothy's son by a previous marriage.

"After losing his first wife, Robert Bradford married Dorothy, widow of Robert Turvin the Younger of Tickhill. Robert Bradford and Dorothy do not appear to have had any known children from their union." [1]

Named in her husband's will dated 19 April 1578.
