Title: Eels of Broadwell?
Post by: lizzieliza on Saturday 28 March 09 18:11 GMT (UK)
Hi there.
Can anyone help please with any information re the Eels family of Broadwell.
Ambrose Eels b 1775c married Mary ? They had 3 x children (listed on IGI) William & Mary b Nov 1777 and John b 1779. Is it possible that this family only had 3 children! Or more likely that they moved to another village? Also, I have searched as best I can for a baptism re Ambrose, but as yet nothing has come to light. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Liz

Found this marriage.
Ambrose Eels married Mary Watts in Broadwell on the 15th October 1777. Sorry I do not have Broadwell pr's.

Just checked the fiche for other entries, can't find any other baptisms except the 3 you mention but have found one burial

William Eels 5 Dec 1777 (no mention of infant or parents).

I would guess as these are the only Eels entries for Bradwell that they moved elsewhere as you suggest.
