Brumhead Hull / Orphaned children
« on: Monday 27 July 09 16:05 BST (UK) »
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
SBedwell

OK, it looks as though the four BRUMHEAD children were born in the Hull/Sculcoates area 1924-1929 (that narrows down dates a bit) and that their mother's maiden name was DREW.

Bear in mind that there is a rule on Rootschat not to post information on living persons - that's why I'm not mentioning the names of the four Brumhead/Drew 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

If you search www.freebmd.org.uk for BRUMHEAD births with maiden name DREW, you will see the four I'm talking about (including the 3 boys you knew of).
