Sandy,

Thanks for these look-ups.  What was the source for the last two (the notes on their clerical careers and schooling)?  I have found similar records before but these seem slightly different to those and with some extra information.

Just a couple of quick corrections: Gezor is Yazor and Turmaston is Turnastone.

This also says that Thomas Broade was a Canon of Hereford but when I checked, it looks as if he was rather a prebendary.

I am also glad I mentioned Southwick at the last minute, as I had only mentioned Benefield before that and they're both neighbouring parishes.

Of information: Foxley, in the parish of Yazor, was where some of the Rodd family resided (and I believe had land).  The Rodds are ancestors of Francis and Thomas and the younger Francis Broade.  Mordiford, the apparent residence of Rev. Thomas Broade, was the ancient seat of the Hereford family who married twice into the Broade family.

James,

The book was by Rev. Henry Isham Longden called
Northamptonshire and Rutland Clergy

I checked it wasn't copyrighted there certainly was no indication
that it was. 

Gezor is how it was written but the Y instead of V for Yazor
I was un-sure about, sorry, but everything else is correct
I believe as written at that time.

Sandy

[James R. Yeowell]

Ah, thanks.

Much of that information can be found at the Clergy Database, e.g:

Foster: Broade, Francis, s. Thomas, of Mordiford, co. Hereford, cler. Brasenose Coll., matric. 20 Mar 1683-4; BA 1687, MA 1690, vicar of Brinsop, co Hereford, 1691, and of Yazor 1692, canon of Hereford 1702, rector of Stoke Lacy 1706, and of Bromyard (and portion) 1709. See Foster's Index Eccl..

So that comes from Foster.

This chap could be a relation:

Best fit from Foster is:
Samuel of Gloucs pleb. matriculated St Mary Hall Oxford 24/10/1595, aged 20; BA 15/11/1597; MA from St Alban Hall 20/03/1601 ns; rector of Rendcomb 1610 (possibly son of William, rector of Rendcomb 1577-1610), father of Samuel (Magdalen Hall, 1632) and brother of Thomas (St Mary Hall 1595).

I also found this, which actually confuses matters somewhat:

Buried in the chancel, again under carpet are two former rectors of Chaldon :-

    Rev'd Thomas Broade, died 20th October 1738
    Rev'd George Piggott, died 2nd September 1766


The Rev. Thomas Broade, who was former vicar of Chaldon, was buried on 24 November 1753 in Benefield.  So this is not his death date.  Unless, of course, his grandfather, whose death and burial have yet to be found, was also linked to Chaldon.  However, this Rev. Thomas Broade's son Rev. Francis Broade, who was prebendary of Hereford, died on 9th March 1728.  Of course, it is possible for him to have died before his own father though.

So now I am curious as to who he is.

I'm also hoping to determine whether these Broade's are kin of the Broade's of Fenton Vivian, Staffordshire.

This book (http://www.archive.org/stream/monumentalinscr00clargoog#page/n5/mode/2up) also has links to the Broade's of Herefordshire, so I shall see if they fit in somewhere too.

Addendum: the early Broade family members can often be found under the spelling of Broad, Brode or Brod.  This may help in regards to searches.

The best of luck in your future research James.

Now we have the Northants done.

Sandy,

Thanks for all your assistance, it is very much appreciated.

I presume you found nothing on Rev. Thomas Broade's wife Ann (néé Lodington)?  I guess she was not buried at either Benefield or Southwick.  Hmm.

Unrelated but I just realised I also have note of a Will for the Rev. Thomas Broade who was rector of Chaldon (I presume he still a different individual to the one buried at Benefield).  It seems he made his well on 18 October 1738 and it was proved on 14 October 1740.

I shall try and see if I can find a copy of it.
