Berwickshire / Re: Broomfield Family in Lauder, Greenlaw area
« on: Wednesday 10 August 16 04:23 BST (UK) »
To Ms MLBroomfield
This must come as quite a surprise to you. I am Thomas George Broomfield and am 93 Years old and come down the direct line from Jame's sibling Thomas b.10-07-1720. I have been "dabbling" with the family tree of the Broomfields' for many many years now. To orient my position on the tree, David, factor of Thirlestane Castle is my 2nd great-grandfather. It was David who brought the Broomfield's' from Chirnside to Lauder, he was the eldest child of Thomas Broomfield (1720) and Helen Robertson(1744-1820). This Thomas was the 9th off-spring of James Broomfield (1695-1720) and Agnes White. He was the school teacher of Bedshiel school, Slap. Part of Greenlaw.
To follow on from this here are some odds and ends I gathered in odd places:
There was a farmer Thomas Broumfield, indellar of Greenlawdeine 1667.(now spelt Greenlawdean) He was Illegitimate but had been legitimised long before his death. Robert Broomfield of Slap resident 1668, multure or mouter.
No doubt you have seen the Full Text of "An old Berwickshire Town: History of the Town and Parish of Greenlaw". Parish requests and Benefactors para 127 This is all on the internet. Also Have you seen "Notes By Mr Broomfield on Lauder-Lauder Castle. Lauder, Nov 1886"
I am now resident in New Zealand having emigrated in 1956
A bit of useless information. The descendants of Thomas 1822 and (1) Margaret Logan (2) Isabella Logan Mack, Through the Logans' of Restalrig could have a few genes from Fergus Lord of Galloway and further back- William the Conqueror.
Regards Tom
