In the hope that eventually the jig-saw can be put together. With so many brothers naming their sons after fathers and brothers, it is as you can imagine , very complicated. However, I have acheived some success, albeit only a small progression has been made. Margaret Greenwood married James Broadhurst 25 Dec 1890 he was from New Mills occupation labourer father John deceased wheelwright. Margaret b 1869c father was shown as William Greenwood deceased occupation labourer. Witnesses were John and Mary Jane Broadhurst Source St Georges Church Parish records Disley 1891 Census shows James and Margaret living at 63 Highfield Vine New Mills. Living next door as unmarried boarders were John and Susannah. 1901 Census shows them living at (I think it reads ) Brinting Vale Glossop . James was a Calico Printer and engraver. Here is the good part , living with them was their son John age 4 born Dinting Derbyshire . Armed with this information you can perhaps move a little further. Have you thought of contacting a local newspaper , to see if there are any relatives of John living in the area. Please let me know how you get on, I would love to hear. Who knows, there may be other Hope Valley Broadhursts out there who can clear up other New Mills mysteries.
