searching for parents of William Broomfield+Agnes Melrose

[MonicaL]

If William and Agnes followed Scottish naming pattern, you would think his first born son would be called after his father 'Adam'. There is this possible entry in 1851:

Adam Broomfield 77, pauper, b. Eccles
Alison Broomfield 41, daughter b. Eccles
Adam Broomfield 6, grandson b. Stitchell, Roxburghsh
George Gladston 17, visitor b. Yetholm, Roxburghsh 

Address: Kimmergham Heugh, Edrom

William Broomfield's death cert will hopefully let you confirm.

  I just realised that I left out daughter Margaret, aged 9, from the family's 1851 entry.

Possible submitted family tree showing on Ancestry for the Broomfield line showing parents as Adam Broomfield and Elizabeth Anderson. Only a few of the children show on this tree which seem to be following two potential siblings of William to Australia and their descendents there.

So far we have for William and Agnes (Melrose) the following early names for their children:

Adam c. 1840 - named after William's father?
Margaret  c. 1842 - named after Agnes' mother?
Elizabeth c. 1843 - named after William's mother?
Darling c. 1847 - named after the Darling family?
James c. 1850
Unnamed baby 1851
John c. 1853 - named after Agnes' father
William 1855 - named after father
David 1857


These are some of the children showing on IGI for Adam Broomfield and Elizabeth Anderson - all entries in Eccles:

1. MARGARET BROOMFIELD  Christening: 10 MAY 1796
2. AGNES BROOMFIELD  Christening: 09 APR 1800
3. JANET BROOMFIELD Christening: 30 JUN 1802
4. JANE BROOMFIELD Christening: 07 JAN 1805
5. ELSEY BROMFIELD  Christening: 27 NOV 1808
6. HARRIET BROOMFIELD Christening: 28 JUL 1811
7. ADAM BROOMFIELD Christening: 10 DEC 1813

No William though 

Al, I think you will need to look at the death cert to verify his parents' names.
