I can't find this George on any census and can't fit him into any of my Broadhurst families.

I think he may be the one whose death is recorded 1861 Sep qtr Knighton 11b 116

Dear Betty,
I am descended from Sophia who came to Tasmania as a convict. I have a lot of information about the family which I can send to you if we can connect via email.
Kind regard,
Lettie

Dear Betty

You might be interested in the data on the Knighton Workhouse in the National Archive in Kew. I have used "Poor Law Union Correspondence – Knighton" (TNA MH12/16690-16692, 16694, 16698-16700) (1834-1861, 1868-1869, 1878-1882), seeking nformation about my putative ancestor, Jane Parker (nee Jones) (c1830-1912), who was recorded there in the 1881 census as one of the staff (probably laundress). That might give more on John Broadbent.

regards,

Vincent

Hello Vincent,

Thank you for advising me of the above re:National Archives at Kew.I live outside the Uk & have  never used these archives.Presumably I use the TNA ref you have given above & I can access the records online.Will I have to pay for viewing the records or not?

regards
Betty

The records are not online as far as I know. You will need to contact them and find out, but you may be able to look at a catalogue of them online.
