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?

ADAMS, ASPIN, BAILEY, BRADBURY, BRADSHAW, BROADHURST, COLLINS, CROSSLEY, DAVIS, HOWARTH (alt HOWORTH) and WOODWARD were a close knit group.

Each is related to one of the eleven children of Richard BROADHURST and Sarah Ann JONES.

Their families worked in the cotton mills in and around Manchester together; they emigrated from England to the US with one another’s help, then worked the mills of Dover, NH, Lowell, MA and New York Mills, NY together. Later they even worked together at Niagara – Mohawk Power Company together.

Check out their histories from the “Families” page.
