I am trying to research my husband's BROOM family. Before moving to London they came from Tenbury Wells, Worcs, but there is no sign of GEORGE and MARY BROOM's marriage there. I have bare details of one at Laysters, Hereford in 1773 and at Holy Cross & St. Giles, Shrewsbury in 1776 - if one is correct maybe Mary came from Herefordshire?. Their son JOSEPH born abt 1796 cannot be found in Worcs., so I wondered whether he might have been born in Hereford over the County boundary? I would be most grateful if anybody has come across the family in their research, or indeed, any Brooms. Any information would be most welcome as the dreaded brick wall is in place!! Happy New Year, Isabel.
Isabel, According to the Herefordshire FHS Marriage Index 1538-1837 a George Broome married Mary Brown in Leysters Herefordshire on 8th July 1773, he was of Middleton on the Hill, does not say where she came from, but just maybe, she might have come from Leysters ??
