Welcome to rootschat, cefn.

Do you want to explain your statement a little more?

Thanks

Hi cefn,
Which branch are you from?   My grandmother was Abraham McIntosh's  second daughter.
Cheers

The line my family belongs to is Thomas and Elizabeth's daughter Sarah. She married Harold Rowland

Hi Tinderry and others
Just registered and saw this post.  I am descended from Thomas Broom through the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to William Howard.  Some years back I had an archivist search the sources in Chester.  In his transcription of the Gaol Register he gives Brampton Moor as Thomas Broom's "place of abode" not "place of birth." Somewhere I may have a photocopy of the Register but can't go to it right now.  It is perfectly possible that Thomas was born in Monsal Dale in 1806, baptised in Gt Longstone, and lived as a young man in Brampton Moor as a farm worker.  The discrepancy in age in various documents is, of course, not unusual for such old records.  I too have searched for his first marriage but no luck yet.  Thanks to Carol for the Bakewell marriage of Abraham and Sarah.  This looks right.

Hello cousin and thank you for replying.

The online transcript of the Chester Goal Register lists Brampton M--- as 'Where born' for Thomas Broom, but if you have a transcript that lists it as 'Place of Abode' that would be of great interest as it makes the Great Longstone baptism more feasible.  Any chance of a copy please, when you dig it out?  My email is tinderrygenealogy@gmail.com.

Thanks
