Can anyone identify this place?

Hi Linda,

I think you are right with the birthplace given as Broomshill.  I too was working on Br?msith but on looking closer, it could be double L at the end which would fit Broms ill.  An H in the middle might easily have been dropped when talking.  This coupled with the entry in 1851 for an Ann with her Aunt Mary would make it highly possible. 

She may have been born in WUE but lived with her aunt for quite some time so thought that was where she was born.

Hope you find the answer soon.

Broomhill is now Brislington, Bristol

Broomhill is now Brislington, Bristol 

but Brownshill (with an s in the middle) is just east of Stroud

Hi everyone,

Maybe it's Brownshill then???

I think I'm on a hiding to nothing here. For the time being I'm going to put this one to bed.

Thanks to everyone for your input.

Linda
