Hi

This is as far as I have with my Broadbents.

David Broadbent b approx 1911, married 1833 Elizabeth Bentley
Benjamin b ?
Mary Jane 1836
Fred 1837
GEORGE b 1839
Sarah A b 1842
William 1844
Bentley 1846
James 1848
HENRY 1851
JOHN 1851
I think
Edward 1851 ?
Charles 1849 ?

The George Broadbent above married Massey Baker-
Child
Jemima Broadbent married Alfred Bolton
Child Nellie Bolton Married Edward Land
Child Tony Land m Jackie Farrar
Child Dawn ( me )

If you can see the twin Broadbents which my great great grandfathers twin brothers all from Bradford, mainly East End.

Im trying to see if my Broadbents are connected to my husbands Broadbents.

Hope this makes sense.
Thanks so much

Dawn

Dawn, to find out who George b1918 married - use FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl.

If there is more than one option then try to find the births of children that you know they had - that will give you the mother's maiden name to enable you to find the correct marriage. It's just a case of working methodically backwards from the people you know.

Same for finding the connection (if any) between your two lots of Broadbents but if you have any further info on your own great grandfather then give us the details and we'll see what we can find.

Hi guys I have checked my notes.
My George Broadbents
are as follows:-
George B 1868
George B 1897 married Rose Leeming
George B 1918 Married Ellen ?

Thanks

Because im confused is that Both me and my husband have Broadbents in our tree. The ones above are my husbands but my gg grandad is George Broadbent !!
I'm trying to see if the families are somewhere connected but I think that it will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack judging by all the Broadbents there are in Bradford in 1800s to 1900s. What I do know is they are from the same area

Baptism of the original George in question:

West Yorkshire, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1910

Name: George Broadbent
Birth Date: 19 Feb 1868
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Baptism Date: 21 May 1879
Father's Name: William Broadbent
Mother's Name: Sarah Ann Broadbent, nee Blakey

George born Otley Road, Bradford.
.....................................................................................................

Baptised the same day were siblings:

Mary Ellen born 29 May 1872 at Moody Street, Bowling.

Elizabeth born 11 Jan 1879 at 1, Johnson's Fold, Bradford.

Searching on FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl shows that George and Rose appear to have had 9 children between 1918 and 1938, the eldest of which was a George H.

This appears to be the marriage of George born 1897:

West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

Name: George Broadbent - Engineer's labourer
Birth Year: abt 1897
Age: 20
Marriage or Bann Date: 22 Dec 1917
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Father's Name: George Broadbent - Dyer's Labourer
Spouse's Name: Rose Leeming - Worsted Twister
Spouse's Father's Name: Albert Leeming (deceased) - Mechanic (fitter)

Neither previously married.

George lived 187 Garnett Street; Rose lived 11 Oxford Road (both Bradford).

Witnesses: Faechens?? T Shaw and Elsie Broadbent (probably his sister)
................................................................................................................

Dawn - does this fit with what you already know?

It's so helpful when you get the mother's maiden name on a baptism!

West Yorkshire, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1910
Name: George Broadbent
Birth Date: 14 Jul 1897
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Baptism Date: 11 Aug 1897
Father's Name: George Broadbent - Dyer
Mother's Name: Sarah Elizabeth Broadbent nee Brown

George was born 11 Cavalier? Street.

Hi Dawn, I think it's most likely that the information found is the right family but there appear to be some anomalies in your information that we need to sort out. For example, you say George had a son called George who, in turn, also had a son called George born 1912 ish.

Looking at this 1901 census the son George would appear too young to have had a child in 1912:

BROADBENT, George E Head Married M 33 1868 Dyehouse Yarn Scourer Bradford, Yorkshire
BROADBENT, Sarah E Wife Married F 34 1867 South, Staffordshire
BROADBENT, William E Son Single M 13 1888 Worsted Spinning Bradford, Yorkshire
BROADBENT, Ben M Son Single M 12 1889 Bradford, Yorkshire
BROADBENT, Sarah A Daughter Single F 10 1891 Bradford, Yorkshire
BROADBENT, Bella Daughter Single F 7 1894 Bradford, Yorkshire
BROADBENT, Elsie Daughter Single F 5 1896 Bradford, Yorkshire
BROADBENT, George Son Single M 3 1898 Bradford, Yorkshire
BROADBENT, Ellen Daughter Single F 1 1900 Bradford, Yorkshire

Address: 102, Wapping Road, Bradford County: Yorkshire (West riding)

EDIT: George snr appears to have acquired a middle initial "E" not seen elsewhere.

Patchem and Marie Celeste Sorry for not getting back sooner Ill check tonight
Thanks for everyones help so far.
Dawn

I wholeheartedly agree with what Patchem says.

Dawn, I asked earlier "Which of George Broadbent's children is your direct line and who did they marry?"

Dawn,

You have put:
'a son called George b 1912 ish. '

You need to have the birth certificates to make sure you are following the correct line, as you are aware that there are many George Broadbents in Bradford.

Just because someone says that sisters have certain names does not mean that you have the correct ones.

Believing what other people tell you can lead to confusion and incorrect information, and copying what other people have in their trees is no recipe for success.

Thank You everyone x
Dawn
