I am having big problems trying to locate any BROUGHTON families from Hirst Street/Road, Ashington, circa 1916, and wonder if SKS could help me out.?
My Dad, James BROUGHTON, was in the British Merchant Navy in 1916 and on some of his records which I have in my possession he gives the address of his next-of-kin as Hirst Street/Road, but unfortunately no Surname or street number is given. I thought that maybe there are some BROUGHTON's on the 1901 UK Census at that address.
Any ideas or assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Jim, in Queensland

Hi Jim,
Can't find Hirst St /Road in Ashington - Hirst is adjacent to Ashington. However, I looked at the 1901 census and there do not appear to be any Broughtons in the locality, but there are in nearby areas.
There is one who claims to have been born in Ashington, but living in Bedlington, James Broughton, born 1876, married to Christina, children Charles George age 5 and John Walter age 1.
In later census, this James says he was born in Bothal, which is also adjacent to Ashington.
I have a bunch of Broughtons in Kingaroy around 1930. Don't know where they came from yet, though. Any of yours in that area?

Hullo Michael,
Many thanks for the reply to my query. I don't have any relations around Kingaroy that I know of. Of course I realise that James's next-of-kin may not have even been a BROUGHTON, but it was worth a try.
My elusive Father was supposedly born in Surrey but there are so-o-o many of them that it is hard to pick him out, hence the reason for checking back through his Merchant Navy Records, such as they are. Whoever would require the address of the next-of-kin without a Surname to go with it such as his 'Agreement and Crew List' when he signed on to the ship.?
Regards, Jim

Jim,
Just out of curiosity, when was your James born? Do you have his parents names from his marriage certificate?

Hi Michael,
He was supposedly born in Rotherhithe, Surrey. UK (St Olave district in 1893 according to his Marriage Certificate. He was married at Ceduna, Sth Aust, on 25 June 1925. He shows his Father as John BROUGHTON and on another Merchant Navy Record shows his Mother as Mary nee WALKER. His age on the MC is 32 years, so that corresponds with birth at 1893, but some of his Mariner Records have a difference in age of 5 years earlier than 1893. ie : 1888, however there may have been reason for this anomaly due to the fact that he supposedly ran away from home as a lad and he could have put his age up.
Regards, Jim

Hi Jim,
I see what you mean. The problem is that there doesn't appear to be a birth registered anywhere near Rotherhithe around that time. Neither does a marriage show up between John Broughton & Mary Walker.
I was hoping that another pair of eyes might find something, but not so!!
I hope that you are able to uncover other details that may lead you to an answer.
Regards
Michael

Hello Jaybees
If James married in 1925 and his age was 32 then he could have been born in either 1892 or 1893. FreeBMD does show a birth registration in the Registration District of St Olave in the September quarter of 1892. The name is given though as Thomas James Broughton
A possibility?
Regards
Reiver

Hi Reiver,
Many thanks for your observation and reply to my question. I am having a serious look at that particular birth registration, because he could, quite easily have discarded the Thomas from his name.
Regards, Jim
