Armed Forces / John Fox Life Guards
« on: Sunday 21 November 10 12:11 GMT (UK)  »
According to his discharge papers John enlisted in the Life Guards in April 1791 aged 23. His birth place is given as Haelbron, Germany.

How can I find out where he enlisted which might give me a clue as to whether he was German or British.

thanks

Leicestershire / What happened to Amos?
« on: Monday 20 September 10 09:37 BST (UK)  »
In June 1864 Benjamin and Ellen Broadhurst of Sycamore Lane,Leicester died within 3 days of each other leaving 5 children aged beteween 12 years and 18 months. I have found 4 of them in them 1871 census. The two youngest Benjamin (born 1859) and Ellen (born 1862) were in an orphanage in Bristol. Elizabeth (born 1855) and Mary Ann (born 1857) were in the Fosse Road Orphan Asylum in Leicester but I can find no trace of Amos James (born 1852) in 1871 or in any subsequent census nor can I find a death for him on freebmd.
Any help to find out what happened to Amos would be greatly appreciated.

Australia Lookups completed / Jack and Marion FISHWICK
« on: Wednesday 21 April 10 15:40 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out what happened to Jack Tar Fishwick and his wife Marion after they went to Australia aboard the Orama in 1926. Jack was an Australian born 1895 Ballaratt, Victoria,, Marion was born 1894 in Staffordshire, England and was convicted at the Old Bailey of Bigamy in 1919 and several robberies in 1923. In 1944 they are living at 288 Little Colliers St, Melbourne.

Marion Pauline Fishwick (or Pauline Marion) was born Lucy Mary ( or Mary Lucy) Broadhurst and at various times when by a number of combinations of these names.

Does anyone know how I can find out where and when they died and if they had any children.

Thanks

Please does anyone have access to the PR for St Mary, Lambeth?

IGI has the baptism of Alfred Broadhurst  26 April 1820 and gives father as Robert and mother as James.

Could someone check who the parents actually are as I don't think my ancestors were that progressive.

thanks

Australia / Hannah Maria BRADHURST/James ROBERTS - SA
« on: Friday 05 March 10 14:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hannah Maria Bradhurst, widow and her son and 4 daughters arrived in Adelaide 13 Oct 1847 aboard the Lady MacNaughton from Plymouth. James Roberts was also on the ship.

Hannah and James married in Kapunda a month later on 17th Nov.

I have managed to trace what happened to Hannah's son George and daughters Nancy, Ann, Susanna and Elizabeth Jane but I can't find out any more about Hannah and James.

Does anone know if they stayed in Kapunda &/or when they died. As Hannah was 40 when she married James I assumed they did not have any children.

thanks

England / marrying the same person twice
« on: Wednesday 14 October 09 18:46 BST (UK)  »
One of my Broadhurst ladies appears to have married the same man twice - once in 1918 in Holborn and again in 1922 in St Martins, both London.

The names are uncommon enough for me to believe she married the same man both times.

Can anyone suggest why.

thanks

« on: Monday 27 July 09 14:27 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Does anyone have access to the Silchester PRs and could look up the baptism of Elizabeth Broadhurst 16 June 1816 please. The IGI has her parents as Luke and Andy.

Can't see any other baptisms with Luke as the father.

thanks

Carolyn
