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.

Who is THIS James Broadhurst?

Does anyone have a James Broadhurst relative? I found two reference to him associated with other BRODHURST FAMILIES members.

Perhaps he’s a bowling buffalo cousin of yours? First, I’ve found a “J. Broadhurst” in a 1919 newspaper article about the “Bowlers of the Benevolent Order of Buffaloes” league and J. Broadhurst rolled a 237. Another bowling buffalo listed is  J. Hughes; maybe this James Hughes.

Then I found, a James Broadhurst was on the 1907 Empress of Ireland Atlantic crossing that Woodwards and Crossleys were on. As I wrote in the Sarah BROADHURST and James WOODWARD posting …

To America – 1907. Sarah’s husband John J. WOODWARD is aboard the  which arrived into New Brunswick, Canada on 16 February 1907 in from Liverpool. Also on board were Frank CROSSLEY (31) and Violet CROSSLEY (likely Violet BROADHURST, 11) I don’t find Sarah listed on board but many of the pages of this manifest are illegible. Also on the manifest near John is James BROADHURST, he is an unknown Broadhurst at this time. Both John and James are headed to “Valleyfield.” There is a Valleyfield in Newfoundland.

Does anyone know who this James Broadhurst might be?
