Notes for George Wesley & Catherine “Katie” (Family)
Carter Co., Ky marriage records list the marriage on 30 Dec 1878 of Geo W. Bradley and Catherine Bradley at R. Tiptons, witnesses Hannah Justice and Hannah Hall.
The birth and death records for their children are consistent that Catherine’s maiden name was Low or Lowe. It is possible that this is a recording error by the clerk, but given that Catherine was 45 at the time of this marriage, it is probable that she was previously married to a different Bradley.
