 Braddon One-Name Study
'Braddon' was established as an identifiable standard spelling in the seventeenth century, although there have been occasional mis-spellings or (should I say?) alternative spellings as 'Bradon' or 'Bradden'.
In the 1901 UK census there were 288 Braddons, in 1891 276, in 1881, in 1871 208, in 1861 170 and in 1851 178.
Among the data I have gathered are the full references to 'Braddons' in the UK censuses from 1851-1901 (and partially 1841), all Braddon references in the GRO Indexes of Births, Marriage and Deaths from 1837-1939 and thousands of other references from miscellaneous sources.

During the same period Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novels increasingly transported the Gothic elements conspicuous in his early Falkland (1827) and Pelham (1828) into the modern era, providing a model for later sensation mysteries set in contemporary England such as Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White (1860).
Anticipating this grafting of the Gothic onto contemporary realism, the Brontë sisters masterfully employed Gothic furnishings in their novels not merely to generate narrative excitement, but to delineate complex psychologies and subjective apprehension of the horrors of the everyday.
Woman was idealized as the 'Angel in the House', a 'relational creature' who derived her value and purpose solely from relationships, as daughter, wife, mother.
