Find Ancestors

Hi All,

I am looking for the death of my ancestor Charles Broughton. He was born in 1827 in Frieston, Lincolnshire, married Anne Richardson in 1851 and had numerous children over the next fifteen or so years. He settled it seems in Skelton, near Guisborough, North Yorkshire.

He appears in the 1871 census, and appears also in several local newspaper articles for being drunk and riotous and for applying to represent the community in local elections.

I would like to find a death for him and his wife Anne who was born c. 1826 in Sticksfoot, Lincolnshire.

Can someone help? I can see no sign of them on FREEBMD.

Thanks,

Peter

Yeah it is confusing! I have looked and look but can't find anything! He also had a brother James Broughton born c. 1836 and a brother George born c. 1843, both in Freiston, Lincolnshire. I also can see no trace of these two also.

I did find this on ancestry but obviously he would have had to return to England. This shows a George Broughton born c. 1845. Oh, I don't know. What do others think?

Jax, I suppose Ann may of died and Charles emmigrated to Canada and remarried? What parents are listed for Charles?

I have James Broughton and Susanna Carter.

There are a couple of trees and they have the same parents you have

jax

The oldest child was born 1869 but there may have been an older one...no date given

This is a comment about his death in 1914

Age at death given as 82 years on tombstone and death certificate. Certificate information provided by son, Charles H. Broughton, also indicates date of birth was not known, name of father was James Broughton. Birth date, Christening date, parents from Bishop's Transcripts. Age given as 14 in the 1841 census for Freiston.


The father James is also listed as coming to Canada wife stayed behind

James the brother is listed with a death in 1922 but it does not say where and George also went to canada and died there in 1930

Jax, this is very interesting. Sadly, I can't view these trees as I don't have a subscription and they don't appear for some reason on a library subscription.

You say the oldest child was born 1869 - is that a child of Charles and Ann Broughton? I have their last child being Albert Broughton, born 1865 in Yorkshire. I also don't currently have Charles and Ann Broughton having a son named Charles H. Broughton. They had one born son Charles (1859-1864). Obviously not the same one.

Also, I have Charles' mother, Susanna, dying in 1869 in England but I could never find her husband, my ancestor's death. Did James die in Canada also? This is fascinating to discover.

Also, you seem to have found James and George in Canada also. They had a sister Ann born 1831 in Frieston, Lincolnshire. Is she mentioned on the tree? Wow, I think I need to make touch with some of my Canadian cousins.

Also, what is interesting is that Charles' sister (my ancestor) married her husband in 1863 and her brother-in-law emmigrated to Canada in about 1874. They settled ininitally in Mitchell, Ontario, Canada, before moving to Stratford, Ontario.

Spanner in the works!

Taken from an internet website - Charles Broughton's father is listed as John on a marriage to Ann Richardson. So, I have the wrong marriage!

Better get looking again!

1851 02-Jan Broughton Charles John Richardson Ann Thomas Skirbeck St Nicholas
1851 02-Jan Broughton Charles John Richardson Ann Thomas Skirbeck St Nicholas

I would think all these children belong to Charles and Lucy...No mention of an Ann

You maybe able to see the trees for free using this site, whether they have it correct or not I could'nt tell you

James the father went to Canada but as I said his wife stayed behind...This is the comment about his death in 1881

Age at death from tombstone, death certificate, as 80 years, 3 months, 5 days. Christening date (listed as birth date) from Bishop's Transcripts and Parish Records. Place of birth, approximate age from 1851, 1861 census for Freiston. Wife never came to Canada. Referred to as "Edwin" in Lou Broughton's notes. (Clint Broughton) Also referred to as "Edwin" by Wilfred Broughton. Headstone inscription: In Memory of / James Broughton Sen / Who Died / Mar 1 1881 / Aged 80 years, 3 mos. 5 days / A native of Freiston Lincolnshire England / A faithful friend, a husband dear / A tender parent lieth here / Great is the loss we here sustain / But hope in heaven to meet again

Just thought - if Charles' marriage is incorrect, and he didn't marry Anne Richardson, then maybe I have been looking at the wrong extended family!

But then, why is there a Charles Broughton, born c. 1827 in Frieston, Lincolnshire, living close to Middlesbrough where his youngest sister was living. Unless, he is perhaps a cousin? But is that too big a coincidence? Or have I just made a big mistake?

YES!

I have confused a cousin and brother! Both with the same name, born in the same village a few years difference.

James BROUGHTON (1802-1880) had a brother JOHN BROUGHTON born in 1805:
