Aloha,

Our branch of the family's story is typical of many; working Cheshire farms for generations and then with the rise of the Industrial Revolution working the cotton mills of Lancashire. With the start of the 20th Century it's across the Atlantic for a new life in America. Many settled in and around mill towns in the US; Dover, New Hampshire, Lowell, Massachusetts and Utica, New York. This website is dedicated to their many family members everywhere.

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by.

Broadhurst Families is a new website and blog dedicated to–and finding–the many families around the world related to John BROADHURST and Frances ADSHEAD. John and Frances, married in St. Mary’s Parish church in Stockport, Cheshire in 1839 had five children; Elisha, William, Sarah, Peter and my Great Grandfather, Richard.

Our names are now; ADAMS, ASPIN, BAILEY, BAKER BONE, BRADBURY, BRADSHAW, BROADHURST, COLLINS, CROSSLEY, DAVIS, HOWARTH, HOWORTH, HUXLEY, JONES, LEVINE, PABST, PHILLIPS, RINFRET, SCHLETTER and WOODWARD among others.

The goal of this blog is to post genealogical findings, but perhaps more importantly, share stories of our families and perhaps reunite our “lost” cousins around the world.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Aloha for now,

Richard Broadhurst
