Title: Robert Bromley, Manor House, Lutterworth
Post by: mumrules on Saturday 16 May 09 05:13 BST (UK)

I have found a marriage notice in the paper for July 1889 that is as follows:

Bromley & Nightingale - June 4, 1889, by special licence, at Holy Trinity Church, Kalk Bay, South Africa, by the Rev Canon Baker, Edward, third son of Robert Bromley, Esq, C E, of the Manor House, Lutterworth, Leicestershire, to Beatrice Marian, second daughter of Percy Nightingale, Esq, Cape Civil Service.

I have found the gravestone of Edward Bromley who died 1900 in South Africa, it reads
Edward Bromley. Born 29-01-1862. Died 01-11-1900

But I have not been able to find any confirmation that he was born in 1862 with a father Robert.

The Edward Bromleys who are in the 1871, 1881 census do not seem to have a father of Robert.

Does anyone have this family connection?

Hullo and welcome to rootschat.  ;D

I 'm sorry I can't give you any info directly on your question but may I make a suggestion?  Why not put those surnames on the RC Surname Interests list and check the names already entered to see if another RCer is researching them? 
To do this, click on 4th botton on LHS at the top of this page "Surnames".

Good luck with your hunt.
