Author: gregbroadhurst Surnames: Broadhurst Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.broadhurst/313.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi There is no direct line, he died childless. I looked into the origins of Broadhurst Park in Moston, and learned he had no children. He did build a fair business though, and, ironically, my Dad bought his shirts and ties from 'Tootal' a few years back, before the company was sold. There is also a wonderful old building on Oxford St named Churchgate House. It has the Tootal Broadhurst & Lee name in it's stone. However, given my surname, I've always been intrigued if he may be related in some way. He was born in Salford, and his father was born 1822 (Henry Tootal Broadhurst). The 'Tootal' part from the christening records released by Manchester Council, is cited as the middle name for Edward and his father. However, going back prior to 1850 is sketchy with records to link back on the Broadhurst side. The family name origin's were Macclesfield / Cheshire for the Northern Broadhursts. If you have any history on the Broadhurst side that's a bit firmer than any census records, please let me know.

Author: karendurham1957 Surnames: Broadhurst Whittaker Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.broadhurst/42.45.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello Cathryn I am also a Daniel Broadhurst researcher. He would have been my Grt Grandfather x 2. I can say we know little of Daniel. as far as I know the only evidence we have of his existance is his marriage certificate and his name on his childrens birth certificates. It is entirely possible he had brothers and sisters. I will tell you what I know. He married Annie Whittaker in Sep 1879 in Staffordshire. He was of full age and a batchelor. His profession is a Labourer at this time. His Father was Thomas Broadhurst who was a Farmer. In 1880 Daniel and Annie had their first child Annie Elizabeth (my Grt Grandmother). On her birth certificate he is a Farm Bailiff. In 1881 their second child was born John Henry. Daniel is not present on any census with any certainty as far as we know. He disappeared sometime in 1881. By 1891 Annie (his wife) is named as a widow on the census. Sorry if this is too much information. Hope it helps with your research.

There are relatives, companies and connections mentioned in the following article that could be places to start tracing his descendants: Broadhurst, Charles Edward (1826–1905) by H. Drake-Brockman This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 3, (MUP), 1969 Charles Edward Broadhurst (1826-1905), pioneer, squatter, pearler and merchant, was born at Manchester, England, son of Daniel Broadhurst and his wife Sarah, née Tootal, of the firm of Tootal, Broadhurst, Lee & Co., cotton manufacturers. He went to Victoria in the Amiga in 1843 to join his elder brother, Robert Henson, who had squatted at Swinton near Kilmore. In 1860 he acquired his own property at Wallan and on 22 June at Woodford Anglican Church he married Eliza, ninth child of Florance Howes and his second wife Eliza, née Graham and directly descended from William, third earl of Inchiquin. Accompanied by his bride, Broadhurst took two shipments of horses to India. In 1864, inspired by the 1861 reports of Francis Gregory, the Denison Plains Co. was formed in Melbourne to pioneer grazing in the north of Western Australia. Enterprising and adventurous, Broadhurst sailed with his wife and two sons in the Warrior as leader of the first party of shareholders and superintendent of stock and stations for the company; the ship also carried 2100 sheep, 44 stud horses and 20 Hereford cattle. The party left Fremantle in May 1865, intending to land at Roebuck Bay; prevented by adverse winds they landed at Nickol Bay, where the majority acquired pastoral leases. No more company ships were sent from Melbourne and correspondence indicates that by June the company had dissolved. Broadhurst bought town blocks on the Harding River (Roebourne) and in 1866 obtained three grazing leases on the Ashburton River, which he held until 1873. That year he leased Faure Island in Hamelin Pool to expand his pearling interests. Although W. T. Tays was probably the first notable pearler at Nickol Bay in 1867, Broadhurst was the first to expand systematically. In 1870 he bought and fitted a schooner for pearling and was granted Aboriginal prisoners for use as divers. He also acquired Heincke diving apparatus. In 1871 he visited Glasgow to buy the Xantho, 120 tons, said to be the first steamship to trade on the Western Australian coast. She foundered in January 1873 but by then her owner had shipped the first cargo of Shark Bay pearl-shell in the Ivy to Le Havre. In 1872 he had also applied for a lease at Mount Blaze for growing coconut and another on Delambre Island for gathering tortoise-shell, but neither project eventuated. In 1874 Governor (Sir) Frederick Weld nominated Broadhurst to the Legislative Council, citing his first-hand knowledge of the north-west coast and its settlers, and claiming that he was 'the only person in the position who has abilities and leisure to represent them'. Broadhurst took up his seat in July 1874 but resigned in November 1875. In August, after a police report, Governor(Sir) Hercules Robinson had sent a magistrate, R. Fairbairn, to investigate pearling conditions at Shark Bay. Broadhurst was absent in Perth; without giving him notice of proceedings Fairbairn found against him for breach of agreement in claims made by eighteen Malay divers, and disposed of Broadhurst property to make a part-settlement. Broadhurst immediately took out a writ of certiorari; in the Supreme Court all eighteen cases were quashed on 12 January 1876. Broadhurst next initiated a fish-canning industry at Mandurah and in 1884 was amongst the first successful applicants for guano leases on the historic Houtman Rocks (Abrolhos Islands). He employed a surveyor, erected much plant, and engaged forty Malays in permanent work. As one of the principal exporters, his name remains identified with the islands. He chartered many ships and constantly battled with the government for a reduction of the royalty payable on every ton of guano regardless of quality. He achieved a reduction, but failed in his 1890 offer of £4000 for the sole right to all Abrolhos leases. He early went into partnership, trading under the name of Broadhurst, McNeil & Co., guano merchants, but retained management until 1890 when the more than prosperous firm was handed over to the direction of his eldest son, Florance. Five years later he retired with his wife to England, where he lived in comfort at Bournemouth until his death on 26 April 1905. An obituary in the West Australian described him 'as one of the most indefatigable and persevering exploiters of the infant industries of W.A. in his day'. His wife Eliza, born on 31 October 1839 at Clonmel, Ireland, was described as 'very talented'. Her elder daughter, Sarah Eleanor, was born on 18 July 1865 at the Harding River, the first white girl in the north-west. Eliza suffered privations with fortitude; displaying courage when, left alone in camp with her infants, she routed a molesting Aboriginal with gun-fire. In Perth she became active in musical circles and herself taught music at the Bishop's College (Hale School). In 1876 she opened a school of her own. She had four sons and two daughters. She died at Bournemouth on 2 August 1899. Family photographs show a handsome, determined pair well capable of the imaginative enterprise and drive that marked their activities in Western Australia. Their eldest son, Florance Constantine, was born on 9 July 1861 at Kilmore, Victoria. Educated at the Perth government school, he shared the management of Broadhurst, McNeil & Co. while still in his twenties and took full control in 1890. The business expanded greatly, often paying more than £16,000 a year in royalties. Florance travelled widely, chartering ships and arranging world-wide sales. He also directed a large lightering company at Geraldton and took an interest in the gold-mining activities of the 1890s. Always interested in the remarkable bird life of the Abrolhos Islands, he did much to stimulate the attention of ornithologists and the general public. He became a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and a justice of the peace. Interested also in the historic associations of the islands with Dutch navigators of the seventeenth century, he aroused local response to a hitherto neglected field of investigation. Many Dutch relics from the islands were presented to the Victoria Public Library of Western Australia and later an original copy of the Jan Jansz 1647 edition of Ongeluckige Voyagie van't Schip Batavia. On 17 May 1892 Florance married Harriet, daughter of John Heslop of Murrayfield, Edinburgh; she was born on 28 February 1867. He died tragically on 19 February 1909, at Cottesloe, Western Australia, leaving three sons and three daughters. His wife died on 5 December 1935. Select BibliographyW. B.

Author: doodles0332 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.broadhurst/313.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm sorry I can't be of much help to you, we were looking for decedents of Edward Tootal Broadhurst because of a legacy he left. In 1919 he donated a large piece of land (Broadhurst park & playing fields) in my local area to the people of the area on the provision that the only things that could be built on it would be a library, a school or park storage buildings. We have a copy of the covenant that covers these wishes but that hasn't stopped Manchester City council from giving a semi pro football club permission to build a football stadium on the land. After fighting this for over two years we finally had to admit defeat as in the end we were told because there were no relatives to contest it the local people didn't matter as the council were the guardians of this land and as such could do what they want. I would be very surprised if Sir Edward is not a relative somewhere along the line as Tootal Broadhurst is not a common name. I will try and dig out any information I have that may help you in making your connection, it is just a pity our paths didn't cross earlier. If I can find all the info we got together and it does prove a link with yourself would you be prepared to compose a letter objecting to the land your ancestor left being built on? I am not sure if it would do much good now but we are still trying to find ways to stop the construction of this stadium and it wouldn't do any harm to try.
