Up until recently the earliest family group I’ve posted has been John and Frances Adshead BROADHURST. John and Frances are my 2nd great grandparents. Their marriage certificate list’s John’s father as William Broadhurst and Edward Broadhurst as a witness. An 1841 England Census lists what I believe to be his family; William and Mary Broadhurst with children Elizabeth, Ann, Edward and Richard. I’ve recently found an older RootsWeb posting that perhaps better documents this family grouping. As of this date I still to confirm the sources with the original RootsWeb lister. Based on this infomation the family group would be as follows:

Farmer William BROADHURST (b abt 1781 Chelford) married Mary HARDERN on Tuesday, 10 February 1807 in St. Mary’s Sandbach. William and Mary may have had eight children:

1. William (b 3 Feb 1810 in Chelford, bap 04 Mar 1810)
2. John (b 27 Jan 1812 in Chelford, bap 23 Feb 1812) “my” Broadhurst lineage
