Hi cheryl
           Good to have you back, thought we had lost you.
Can you give me the census ref details for George Spencer in 1851, I have found John in 1851 which seems to read born Wrenbury, I have found a George and family in 1841 (no John ) but need to verify his age etc to make sure its the right one.

regards

Hi Peter

This is the info I've got from  the 1851 Census, the writing was really bad so I am not sure of the names but here goes:

George Spencer 69 Head born Brindley Nantwich?
Annie?                71 Wife
Mary?                 27  Daug

As I said not sure about his wife or daughters names.
In 1851 they were all living in Burland Nantwich
Sorry its not a lot to go on.
Regards
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl
              Having great difficulty tying up the Spencer's with the details you have given me, problem one is that I can find no George and wife and daug in Burland or surrounding parishes in 1851. I have found son John and his wife Ruth and children in Burland in 1851 there details are below, but it says John was born Wrenbury not Burland or Brindley ? Ruth was born Buckley Wales, which is I believe Flintshire for parish records. I do have the 1841 but it is not indexed so I am reluctant to start searching the pages untill we can sort out the 1851. Can you check and give me your 1851 census ref numbers

HO 107 2169 F 482/3 Burland

BRINDLEY FAMILY  PARISH OF SUTTON/TOWN OF MACCLESFIELD/COUNTY OF CHESTER.
I am looking for information on Henry Brindley b 1819. Henry served in the British army in India and South Africa.
He was disscharged in 1859 and after spending time at a military hospital he was finally discharged on 24th july 1860.He came to Australia as an enrolled pensioner guard  per "York" in December 1860 aged 43yrs. We believe he came with his daughter Susanna (a child) and he married here in 1864. We can find no record of Henry's death here in Australia, however his wife remarried in 1869 statng she was a widow.
if anyone can shed any light on this mystery or point me in the right direction for research I wopuld be most grateful regards Phyllys.

Hi Peter

Still haven't managed to get to the library to look at the records for George Spencer.

But I have been given details of my Gt Grandad x 4 from the 1841 Census for Audlem could you possibly have time to look for him in 1851 for me.
The details for 1841 are as follows:
John Broomfield   45  Sawyer born Whitchurch Shropshire
Catherine (Wife)                     Born Clive
John         (Son)   20               Born  Audlem
Richard    (son)    8                 Born  Audlem
Fanny      (Dau)   5                  Born Audlem

I hope you don't mind me asking.
If you are to busy I quite understand
Regards
Cheryl

There are details of a birth of a Susanna Brindley 1855 in Macclesfield on the Cheshire BMD website http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/
could this be her.
There are no name indexed census to search that would show Henry prior to him joining the military, and as he left the UK in between census's 51 & 61 there is a problem there. Also there are no marriage details for an Henry Brindley in Macclesfield. If he came back to the UK there are no indexes that show he died in Macclesfield.

sorry for the negative reply

 Hi Cheryl
               
               You are certainly going to have to start saving/ and quoteing the census referance numbers, I think this one you have given me is the 1861 not 1841, I did some reseach for some one else the other day on another Broomfield in the same road, any connection? They also had a daughter Fanny. The details you've given me are I think for this family below, At least its the only other Broomfields it can be ie the only one with a Catherine

HO 107-2170 F 340 Nantwich road Hankelow 1851

John Broomfield  head  34  labourer    born Audlem
Catherine           wife    3?                      ~   Shrewsbury
Richard                son    16  Scholar        ~   Hankelow
Henry                    ~      13                     ~       ~
Harriatt               daug     8                     ~       ~

let me know what you think, the scan is difficult to read, and the age of Richard 16 as a scholar dosn't ring true somehow

Hi Peter

I'm really confused now? the info that I was given for 1841 was from an elderly gentleman who is also tracing the family tree he didn't give me any reference numbers sorry.
But I think he must be wrong somewhere as he says that John Broomfield was 45 in 1841 and yet he is only 34 in 1851.Yet in 1841 he has Richard as 8, and 1851 Richard is 16 really strange.But has also told me that John was born in 1896 which I know is wrong. I think I am going to use the info that you have given me as I know that is correct.
You say you have had somebody else looking at Broomfields in Audlem with a daughter called Fanny don't know who that could be I only know of myself and a distant cousin Louise plus this elderly gentleman. Can't see there being another Broomfield in Audlem without its a relation, didn't think it was that common a name but could be wrong.The trouble with the Broomfields is that they tend use the same names in all generations so it gets very confusing.As in John and Fanny. Fanny was my Gt Gran her Dad was John, her Grandad was John and she had an Auntie called Fanny.
