Broughton Sisters

Hi there,

I am looking for information on two distant aunts on mine. I would like to see when they died and who they married.

They are:

Ann Broughton - b 16 Sep. 1831, in Frieston, Lincolnshire, England
Harried Broughton - b 01 Nov. 1833 in Frienston, Lincolnshire, England

Their parents were James Broughton (born 1802 Gosberton, Lincolnshire, d. 1881 in Elma Centre, Perth County, Ontario, Canada) and Susanna Carter (b 1806 in Wrangle, Lincolnshire d 1869 Freiston, Lincolnshire).

Of two other sisters, both died in England and of five brothers, four died in Canada.

Can you help me find out what became of these two?

Thank you,

Peter

Hey thank you - that is the family in 1841 and 1851. And wow, I wonder if that is Ann?

I need to email the local register office.

Is there a sign of Harriet?

Thank you again,

Peter

As Harriet doesn't feature on 1841 census, she may have died before registration began in 1837

Thank you again Lynski.

And Mike, thank you - I would need to go and check out the parish records, wouldn't I?

Hi there!

The death of Ann Broughton in 1848 is for an AMY Broughton. Her name was indexes incorrectly.

Oh dear. Any other signs of Ann?!

Thanks Margee; I didn't include the thread as I was only specifically looking for Ann and Harriet.
