Broxholme

[broxam]

Yes I have already researched that, much more info on him at the Tasmanian archives website. He is an Uncle many times removed.

Could you share some info on Edward ? I believe he was my great great great grandfather and father of William Broxam. Any light you could shed on this would be most appreciated !

Have sent you a message in your inbox.

Thanks.

Broxam should probably be able to see the PM (assuming he/she has not received any other).  However he/she will be unable to reply until he/she has made another post or two.  It's just the way the RootsChat system works

Thanks for the heads up re not being able to inbox back - happy to reply here. Yes , i am in Australia and am definately tied to William Broxam, son of Jane ( or Jean ) Strachan. William went on to father 9 children and live to by 85 years old. His 8th born child, Elvin, was my great grandfather. But i have no information in regards to Edward Broxholme and whether he was, in fact, William's biological father. Williams first son, born in 1888 ( his 5th child ) was named " Edward Francis " - so i believe at the very least, he was under the impression Edward Broxholme was in fact his father. I have only started this very exciting journey guys, so i will be sure to keep you informed as my research continues - thank you for you help already !

If you search Broxam there are digitised records.

I see William was married to Lily ?

Would still like to know when Edward and Jean died ?

Also do we know when Broxholme became Broxam ?

Thanks.

I was interested in your information about the Broxholmes from Wragby, Lincs. I'm a Jebb. My father was Charles Frederick Jebb his father having the same name.  I believe his father married Caroline Broxholme.  There seems to be a lot of them all in the same area.  I'm about to start looking at the history of the area in the hope that I will find out more about the family. I believe they were land owners once - attaining land that once belonged to the monasteries. Surely that would have been during the reign of Henry V11.

I have Caroline Broxholme the daughter of William Broxholme 1807 - 1868 and Mary Johnson 1807 - 1849

William's Father Edward 1776 - 1842 was the brother of William 1771 - 1838 (my link follows this line.)

Sounds interesting about your research into Wragby - I haven't really looked into that yet - A book on Wragby came out a few years ago - Where 5 Roads Meets or a similar title.

To FTFHA:  While browsing the net I came across this site and your question regarding Edwin Broxholme, born 1857.
My Gt. Grandfather was named Edwin Broxholme. He lived in Wragby and from the details on the photo of his gravestone died 22nd March 1925, aged 68. He was married to Betsy Broxholme, whom I well remember. Betsy died May 22nd 1946.
If Edwin is your relative I do have more info. on the family which may be of interest to you.
