Ray Bradbury's Family
Hi. I'm trying to figure out more about his family. I can't find anything on his brother, Leonard, the one who had an identical twin who died. Does anyone know if Leonard had any children? Would anyone be able to tell me their names, or his grandchildren's names? I know Ray had four girls. But I can't find much about his brother...thank you!!!Smiler

This is the best I could come up with:

Leonard, Ray's brother, had an identical twin, but he died during the flue epidemic of 1918. His name was Samuel. Leonard had 4 children, one named Leonard Jr. I was unable to get the other names. Leonard died more than 4 years ago.

ronaldw, have you read The Bradbury Chronicles by Sam Weller? I think you will find the answers in there.

Great hairstyles! And what appears to be an ancestor of Mog the Dog...

I'll sneak this non-Bradbury family photo in. Who is this?

I trust you've done your research on Mary Bradbury, who was convicted of being a witch.
