Her father was John Harrop BROUGHTON, B 1860,married Elizabeth THOMAS. His father was Samuel BROUGHTON. I have not found any siblings for John Harrop Broughton - he was married in US, in New York, I think, so I have no details of parents - ages, addresses, etc. I have made a note of your Emily Louisa and Thomas; perhaps one day we'll connect! -- Regards Pauline phosking@zetnet.co.uk
