Most of my paternal family have been gun makers or nail cutters but my Great great Grandfather was a Sword Mounter - now that sounds painful! :D

Hi Ladies,

I don't know what to say expect for thank you so much! I was drawing such a blank and it was driving me mad! I should have thought of changing the spelling slightly.  In the 1901 Census Arthur appears as Arthur George, which confused me as I presumed he went by the name all the time - and I know not to presume anything!

I do know that Thomas was re-married but that was as much information that I had.

I will carry on the search now with renewed enthusiasm and I really do appreciate your help.

Thanks again!
Liz :D

Hi Nell,

Thanks for the reply.  Now you see that is my problem as I cannot find Arthur George in the 1871 Census - in fact he doesn't appear until the 1901 Census - which is very strange.  I know he got married in 1890 and I know he had a brother called Reuben, who is also very evasive!
So I am really stuck as to wher to look now! Thomas was a Gun Maker and I know that they moved to Aston in Birmingham at some point.  It is all rather confusing - so any help would be gratefully received!
Thanks

Liz

Can anyone help please? I am trying to trace more detailed information about my great grandfather.  His name was Arthur George Broomhall and he was born in Short Heath Willenhall circa 1870 - but I cannot find any trace f him in the birth index!
Does anybody know how else I could find him?
All I know for sure is that according to his marriage certificate his father was Thomas Broomhall.

Please help!
Many thanks
Liz :)
