Good evening,
My husband is related to the Laugher family in Bromsgrove & we saw the sad story of Harriet Laugher & her step daughter Sarah Ann Broomfield on the British Newspaper Archive site last night. Having spent an interesting few hours researching the family today on line - a click onto Roots chat earlier could have saved me time!!
I believe that Samuel Laugher had a previous marriage to Jane ?Franks and that Harriet was his second wife (20 years age difference).
I believe that Harriet had a sister was called Emma and was married to a Luke Dipple (another name of my husbands family - ?any connection); a sister Alice (18340, a brother John (1838); and a sister Carolin (1840).
Any further information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mable,
Wondered what your connection to Herbert is, I believe Herbert born 1863 was the Husband of my grt grt grandmother Alice Dipple, I think she may have been Alice Smith when she married Herbert.
Alice had two children before she met Herbert , they were Frank and Eliza and then after they were married they had Herbert Jr born 1904.
 Herbert was actually in prison on two occassions, the first time was in 1881 at the age of 19 when he was in Worcester prison, his occupation is down as a painter and the second time in 1911 again in Castle street Worcester and this time his occupation was down as a traction engine driver.
I wondered if you have any information you could share with me.
Regards
Steve

Hi, I am amazed at the wonders that you produce and wondered if anyone could help restore/improve this photo of my husbands Grandad.
