The Common Room / Re: Brumhead Hull / Orphaned children

thanks I'm looking at the yorkshireBMD and the 1901 census etc - but as you mention it's a case of possibilities.

I wonder why the boys were orphaned if they had a living father?  I know one boy kept the name Brumhead, one became a Jennison and my grandfather became a smith (adopted by his aunt).

thanks for the information regarding the possible remarriage.

Thanks for all your help it looks as though Clara Drew was my great nan.

Does anyone know what happened to Charles Brumhead her husband?

Much appreciated.

All three Brumhead boys are now deceased  - unsure about the fourth child - was unaware they was four children.

There was a Clara Drew who became a Brumhead - and a Clara Brumhead who died at an early age  (29 in 1930).

I just don't know which out of two Brumheads who died early was my great nan (Clara, Rose died 1932 aged 22)

I also wonder whether Clara had a sister called Beatrice who married a man called Smith - who could've possibly adopted my grandfather

Hi

I would like to find anyone who knows about my great nan - I believe she died somewhere between 1925 - 1935ish. I have reason to believe her surname would've been Brumhead. She died at an early age when she fell in a fire. She left several children orphaned (inc, Dennis, Charles and James) Dennis being my grandad - he was adopted by his aunt who was a Smith.

I also have no idea who my great grandad was - as I don't know who my great nan was married to or what happened to him which left her a widow/ alone - meaning my grandad became an orphan.

Any news would be gratefully received.

I do believe my great nans death was in the paper at the time, but I cannot find any online records for Hull and I don't live in the area.

Thanks

Hi postylady

I think your relatives Alfred John Smith who married Beatrice Brumhead may have adopted my grandfather Dennis Brumhead (later Dennis Smith) after Beatrices sister Clara died at an early age - leaving three boys orphaned. One stayed a Brumhead, one went to his Aunts and became Smith (my grandad) and the other became a Jennison.

Do you know if this is correct?

Thanks
Sarah
