I’m doing a bit of digging into a Terence Bradshaw born abt 1936 Sheffield. He married either a Dorothy or Eileen. All these people are included in a will relating to Violet Ada Ibbotson which ended in a court case brought by her niece Norah Gratton (Fisher) Loosen from Oklahoma. In the first instance I trying to find the correct marriage details for Terence. Kind regards
PS: The will shows Terence Bradshaw, Mrs Dorothy Bradshaw & Mrs Eileen Bradshaw living at 34 Lound Side, Chapeltown. So I’m assuming one of the ladies is his wife ?
A site with electoral register transcriptions has Terence Bradshaw at that address 2003-2004. At the same address: Mrs Eileen Bradshaw 2003-2007, 2011-2018. They claim Terence’s birth is 1942-1944 but I don’t know how they deduce that.
As Terence is apparently not in the 2011-2018 electoral roll alongside Eileen, one possibility is he may have died by then. One death possibility is Terence Bradshaw, Q4 2003, Sheffield, birth 1943.
A matching Sheffield birth possibility via FreeBMD is Terence Bradshaw, June Q 1943, mother Beales.
A Bradshaw - Beales marriage (via FreeMD) is George W Bradshaw Sep Q 1929, Sheffield. One of the names on the same folio reference is Dorothy M Beales.
There are 3 Bradshaw – Beales birth possibilities 1929-1965, all Sheffield registrations. Neither of the other two children is named Dorothy.
If these dots are connected then I think the Dorothy mentioned in the will might be Terence’s mother.
Dorothy M Bradshaw is on the 1939 Register in Sheffield with husband(redacted) and 3 children (1 redacted). Using her birth date you can find her birth as Beales and, using her full name, her death in Sheffield.

PS Beware of naming people who may be still living
It looks liked Eileen’s maiden name was O’May. She married an Albert Rowland in 1961 which seems to have ended in divorce ? and then married Terence Bradshaw in 1965 hence the 2 marriage registrations. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Regards
