On This Day in June........Tell us about your ancestors' anniversaries

Fred Broadley was born 10 jun 1892 in Accrington. He became a roller coverer and suffered a dreadful industrial accident. I still haven't been able to find much about it and my main source of information is from the WWI pension records. Three of his brothers died in WWI (Their great-nephew stood on the Fourth Plinth to represent them) and, although Fred had only one eye, with damage to the other, he was drafted into a labour battalion. While he was away, his first and, I think, only child, died of pneumonia.

In 1846, my 2xGreat aunt Ann Bulloch was buried in Rhuddlan Flintshire. She was less than a year old.

On 11th June 1893 my great great grandfather's elder brother William McKeown arrived in Quebec, though some sources say it was the day before. He had sailed from Liverpool on the SS Mongolian. The Mongolian was a Scottish built ship, launched in Glasgow three years previously and built for the Allan Line based in Liverpool. She was 4,838 tons, 400 ft long and with a berth of 45 ft. and was torpedoed by the submarine UC 70 off Filey Bay on 21st July 1918 with a loss of 35 lives.
Wlliam made his way to Pennsylvania and wasted no time in marrying a local girl, Mary Amanda Chapman, the daughter of George and Phoebe Chapman, almost as soon as he arrived. Their first child Anna was born the following year. Two of his children, John and Matilda would be named after his parents, my 3xG grandparents.
William settled in Knox Township, Clearfield, Pennsylvania and died in 1944. He is buried in the Messiah Baptist Cemetery in Kylertown, Pennsylvania.

His brother, Robert, my GG grandfather would follow him the year after and despite a bit of coming and going between the USA and Scotland, also emigrated  and died, also in the 1940's in Indiana.

After the war he finished his degree in architecture in Liverpool and worked for F.X. Velarde, a well-known Catholic architect, until the latter's death. He left a wife and six children.

June 11th 1667, Edward Jackson and Margrett Waller were married in Brough under Stainmore, Westmorland. My 8 x great grandparents and that is about the end of my discoveries so far on those two lines. I know that Margrett was the daughter of Robart ( sic) Waller and that she was born in February 1637 but that is absolutely all. Of Edward Jackson's family - I know nothing!

In 1813, my 3 x great grandparents, William Smith and Margaret Forsyth were married in Nairn. I know that Margaret's mother was called Jane but have no surname for her. William is one of my worst brickwalls! Many people have tried to help me with him and his family but nothing ever quite ties up the loose ends.

On 11 June 1893 Herbert Peppercorn, my 2nd cousin 1 x removed, was baptised at Islington St Mary.
He was the son of Augustus Peppercorn and Sarah White, who were artificial florists. Herbert and his siblings assisted in the business as they grew up.  It must have been successful as the family occupied two adjoining houses in Highgate (now I believe a French restaurant!).
Herbert died on 9 June 1966 in Dorset, leaving nearly £5000 in his will - about £72,000 today!

Hi Gengen,
I don't suppose there's a connection, but my 4 x great grandparents were Joseph Sewell and Esther Jackson, and they married in November 1770 in Brough under Stainmore, Westmorland.  Esther's father was William Jackson.  Of course, Jackson is a common name, but thought it was worth mentioning because of the location of both marriages.
