Find Ancestors

I am looking for this man who I believe was a miner. I think his wife may have been Annie ( Broadbent?) I cannot find him and to top it all my computer is running very slow!
Thank you to anyone who can help, and my appologies if I take a while to reply. Alice

A bit older than you reckoned?

Thank you so Much I remember Aunt Alice - she died in the 1980s -
We thought there was a Broadbent in the family - but obviously not married to Him!
This is a great start - I now know who his father was and where that unusual name came from!
