This appears to be the marriage of George born 1897:

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

Dawn - does this fit with what you already know?

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.

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

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

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
