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 are these people? Or, is this a picture of the Richard and Sarah kids?

While visiting cousin Kay we ran across this photo of what looks to be a family grouping of … Broadhursts? I’m just guessing here but I think it may be some portion of “The Eleven” from which many of us are descended. The boys in the back certainly look like brothers and they bear a close resemblance to our grandfather Peter Ernest, number 7 of the 11.  Click on the photo for a larger view.

Broadhurst Siblings?

What do you think the occasion for the sitting is; a wedding, a funeral? “The Eleven” had 7 known girls and 4 known boys but in the picture 5 boys are shown.
