That sounds promising if you have more info on Sam Broadhead.  Thanks for the offer.  I used to work in Lymm a long time back, but had no idea that there was a family connection 'til I moved away.  John Boradhead the fustian cutter was brought before Trafford Trafford the magistrate who lived at Oughtrington Hall - I taught history in his library, without realising it.  John Broadhead was probably brought into the same room.

Hi,  re John Broadhead junior, the Fustian Cutter,  you might be interested that he was sentenced to hard labour for assaulting his girl worker.  I have the details if you want to give me your contact details.  I too have been having trouble with this family: my interest is in John's brother Samuel.  Unfortunately John senior and Samuel were away from home on census night in 1851 and I can't be sure of their place of birth.
