Title: Minnie Broll
Post by: makentrax on Wednesday 31 January 24 05:58 GMT (UK)
Could anyone point me in the right direction please. I am trying to find information on
Minnie Broll, DOB: abt 1899.
Daughter of Andrew Broll 1865 - 1945, from Whithorn and Margaret Jane Pettigrew 1874 - 1924, from Sorbie.
On the 1901 census shows Minnie Broll age 2 but this is all I have been able to find after searching the  popular search engines. The name Minnie may be short for Wilhemina as Margaret's mother was Mina Brown also short for Wilhemina Brown.
There is a Minnie Brown Broll 1954 - 1998 listed and maybe connected to my Broll family but the dates are more recent to the Minnie Broll I am searching for.   :)

Greetings

You can find Minnie in the 1921 census on Scotland'sPeople site. In fact all I did was type in surname Broll and in the section for 1921 census there only about 38 Broll's total on the one page. You see Andrew Broll there , Minnie etc.

Just match the Ref# 900/ 1/ 1 and you know which other Brolls were in that household.

Thank you for that.
It appears so far, Minnie is only showing on census. I cant seem to find details of her birth, death or even if she married. I must be doing something wrong.

If you look in deaths for surname Broll and put the year of birth 1900 +10 a list of people come up. The ones with mother Pettigrew are the ones your looking for. They're in Whithorn. At least one of the others listed that has no mother's name is a sibling of Minnie... Jane Mculloch Broll.

We'll find her I bet , but I haven't seen a marriage or death for Minnie Broll as of yet.
