At this time Bournemouth was in Hampshire, I'm looking for the christening of Elizabeth Broome born between 1874 and 1878, daughter of James Broome a stonemason who may have been employed in Bournemouth at this time. The Arundel dioceses that covers the Oratory was very dismissive of my request to access their christening register.  Has anyone come across Elizabeth, her father's occupation took the family to London, possibly Marylebone and then to Manchester where in 1891 Elizabeth took herself and two younger sisters to the workhouse in 1891.

Ahhhh now Ada Maria Goad was an exceptional woman, divorced her first husband for incest with her sister, so destroying his career in the British Indian army, and her second for beating her up, even though he was a barrister! But in those days they were the only two reasons a woman could bring a divorce action, husbands being unfaithful was not a reason, although a wife being unfaithful was grounds for a divorce. A very wealthy woman from a very extraordinary family, her brother was the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s stories about a detective. All I know about your chap was that he was an importer of leather. Thank you for the info that he married again I hadn’t followed her third marriage
