Title: 1851/61 Leicester Census Look up - William Broughton
Post by: Hallamette on Friday 26 November 04 23:57 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find the family of William Broughton of Woodhouse Eaves. He was a Carrier to Leicester(mentioned in trade directory).  His daughter Sarah was married there in 1860, but I have no mother's name. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated

Thank you so much for your help.  This info opens up what I though was  a dead end.
