« on: Thursday 08 May 14 21:00 BST (UK) »
Hi, looking for Thomas BROXHOLME b. abt 1855 he was Christened on 11 Feb 1855 in East Torrington. Assuming he was born just born prior to his christening. Otherwise he might have been b. 1854.  I have some info that they had another child (first born) William BROXHOLME. Parents: William BROXHOLME and Martha  DUNWELL. Thanking you in advance for your time and trouble.

Thank you Sue, I appreciate the reply.
Would you know where else I can go online to search for BROXHOLME around the Wragby area?

Have you found Thomas in the 1881 census?  This looks like him.

Thank you for the information that you've generously replied, I noticed that William BROXHAM is spelling is last name like his children did after entering into the United States. I didn't realize that or do you think it could been mispelled the?

Many people, at this time, could not read or write.  Their names were written by officials who  wrote what they heard.  That is why there are so many variations in the spelling of surnames.
