I think you HAVE to buy Nellie's birth certificate


It looks as though she really may have been illegitimate.

If this was the correct Charles Broughton ................ then he was not apparently married before 1901, and was still single in 1911


This begs the question of who is Nellie?


I think you have to buy her birth certificate to find out who is named as her father.



I looked on Cheshirebmd ........... but unfortunately, they do not show the mother's maiden name


This looks like the birth for Nellie

Cheshire Birth indexes for the years: 1901
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
BROUGHTON Nellie Knutsford Cheshire East KNU/30/37


This is probably the same birth registration from freebmd.org.uk, which also does not show mother's surname before mid-1911

Births Jun 1901 (>99%)
Broughton Nellie Bucklow 8a 203



There is no Nellie Broughton on the 1911 Census


One Nellie Broughton shows on the 1901 Census, which was taken on the night of 31 March 1901, with the incorrect age of 10 months .............. looking at the image of the census shows that this Nellie was 10 days old

HOWEVER ............ her mother is shown as single, and a domestic servant ............. and they are in the Workhouse.

Hi GB. You may be right, but Ronald and Nellie married in the same district in 1940.

Doreen, does the address quoted in the probate record ring any bells? Eg on marriage cert for Ronald and Nellie.
