Four Broadhurst Girls Marry Four Howarth Boys

It’s not uncommon for families to marry into other families more than once. Is this four times? The Nellie Broadhurst listed in the chart is one of “The Eleven” and I wonder if “Jane Anna” is her older sister. Nellie was 12 years younger than Jane Ann, “Annie” as she was refered to. The wedding locations would also make geographical sense. Any thoughts out there? Does anyone have the other two couples in their family trees?

Buffalo Brothers-In-Law: or Violet Broadhurst marries James Hughes

Frank A. Crossley and James E. Hughes were active Buffaloes in the Lowell Herd No 10 of the Benevolent Order of Buffaloes back in the early 1900s. Violet Broadhurst was Frank’s wife’s youngest sister and in 1917 she became Mrs. James E. Hughes …

The marriage didn’t last as I note in my posting about her family …

1930 US Census. By now, Violet (36) is Mrs. William DAVIS (he is 42) living in Whitestown, Oneida County, NY. They rented their place at 462 Main Street for $26 a month. Along with 12 year old daughter Evelyn Davis, Violet’s younger brother and his family live with them. William BROADHURST (32), his wife Emily BROADHURST (30) and their son Lawrence BROADHURST (6) share the household. Both Williams work at the gas and electric company, Davis as a machinist and Broadhurst as a laborer. Violet is a “finisher” in a cotton mill. It appears that William DAVIS had been married before as it’s reported that he was 25 years old at his first marriage. Violet is reported at 24 at her first marriage.

Jessie Adams Marries Clarence Hoke; Or How Families Intertwine

One of the things I’ve come to enjoy most about family genealogy is finding examples of how different branches of the same tree intertwine. I think this is a good example…

In 1929 Jessie ADAMS marries Clarence HOKE. Her bridesmaids were Amy BROADHURST (my aunt who married a SALKIND that I’ve long since lost contact with); May HOWARTH and Eva BROADHURST. Ushers included my father, Ernest BROADHURST and Harold BROADHURST.

And maybe there are more BROADHURST FAMILIES members that I didn’t recognize, so check out the couples announcement …
