Daniel BROADHURST of Hartington

[JustinL]

The 1901 census records:

Daniel Broadhurst 44, General Lab. Hartington, Derbyshire
Jemima Broadhurst 45, Darley Dale, Derbyshire
Maud Broadhurst 14, Carrying Out Milk. Hegworth, Lancs
Rosa Broadhurst 8, Waterloo, Lancs
John T Broadhurst 6, Waterloo, Lancs
Daniel Broadhurst 4m, Waterloo, Lancs

living at 9 York Court, Waterloo, Crosby, Lancs.

I have found birth registrations for the four children listed, however, I can find no marriage record or a birth record for Daniel senior.

The1881 census on Familysearch did not yield any Broadhursts in Harington at all. I ruled out the family in Crich as too far away.

A descendent of this family also insists there were two other (older) brothers, Len and George, who died in naval service during WWI.

I would really appreciate some help in tracking this family.

In 1891 they are in Nottingham and wife is called Maria, (born Darley Dale), children Maud born Keyworth Leicestershire? and Dora? (hard to read) aged 10 Months born Middleton?. They are living at 45 Mount? Street, Nottingham.

If you can buy one of the children's birth certificates and see what the Mother's Maiden Name was it may help to track the marriage.

I POSTED THIS BEFORE ISOBEL'S RESPONSES CAME THROUGH.

Thanks Tressle,

Having spotted a rather embarassing arithmetic error (1901 - 44 does not equal 1867), I think I have found Daniel's birth registration in Ashbourne Q2 1858.

I have just been told that Daniel's wife's maiden name may have been Pilkington.

Was the Dora listed as a girl?

Thanks Isobel - George would have been a mere boy when he joined up! A Jemima Broadhurst died aged 48 in 1910 in West Derby (covered Waterloo).

Hi

Well there is a Jemima Pilkington born 1860 in Darley with parents Thomas and Margaret. She is aged 4 months on the 1861 census.

She is a servant in Lancashire in 1881.

Hi

Sorry yes Dora down in the 'female' column.  I must admit I find it hard to read as it is quite faded - I've got old eyes...

Did he remarry or could Maria be a badly written rendition of Jemima?

The censuses indicate that Daniel went south to Kegworth having married at some point, back up to Middleton (which one I wonder), then moved way over to Waterloo. Hum, quite a nomad!
