Hello,

Percy Fitzpatrick Bromfield that was born in Coventry as illegitimate son to Frances Bromfield, dressmaker in around 1822, died in Toorak, Victoria, Australia, 1908. Is this post about the physician/train line entrepreneur about his father?

Hello,

This is great news! Which of percy's children are you descended from if I may ask? I am the great grandaughter of Charles Morrison. I have contacted the Coventry Archives and they have confirmed that Percy is the illegitimate son of Frances Bromfield, a dressmaker. However there are also Thomas Lingard Bromfield and Devine Bromfield who are also the illegitimate sons of a Frances Bromfield, dressmaker. I note that his sister was born in Dublin but emigrated to Australia in (roughly 1880/90 - I don't have the details to hand). I am more than happy to share any information with you and hope to hear from you soon!

Hello,

My GG grandfather was Percy Fitzpatrick Bromfield and was christened in Coventry in St Michaels in 1822. According to the IGI his mother was Frances Bromfield and there was no father recorded. Percy emigrated to Australia in 1849 and worked as a surveyor. When he died in 1908, his death certificate stated that his father was also named Percy Fitzpatrick Bromfield whose occupation was Doctor, and his mother was Frances formerly Peach.

I'd just like to know who his parents were. I imagine to be a surveyor would entail some schooling and I can't seem to find any reference on the 1841 census and his birth is before registration

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
