BROADHEAD: Burial Records for St Martin, Birmingham, Warwickshire.

bas43

knowlegable brummie
Hello,

I am seeking the burial entry for the following and any other family members:

Richard BROADHEAD bc. 1761 - 1839
BURIED: On 20th November 1839 at St Martin, Birmingham, WAR.
PLACE of Death: Staniforth Street, Birmingham, WAR age 78
Occupation: Glass Blower/Hawker

and

John BROADHEAD bc 1804 (as per 1841 Census)
Died: 3 December 1846 at 5 Court, Richard Street, Aston, Warwickshire
When his eldest son Richard Broadhead (born 26 Dec 1821) was christened the family were living at Staniforth Street.
Occupation: Brassfounder / Polisher

I believe John Broadhead might have been buried at St Martin, Birmingham, Warwickshire.

If John Broadhead was buried at St Martin, is it likely that he would be buried near to Richard Broadhead. I am trying to prove relationship.

Thank you.

Re: Thomas BROADHEAD age 3 weeks, buried St Martin, Birmingham, Warwickshire.

Hello Shera,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Re thomas broadhead son of richard and lucy richard st. bur.27.8.1843

Could Lucy be Lydia? If it is Lucy.... then I suppose it might be a nickname.... or I've got to look for another wife.:(

Richard Broadhead (who was married to Lydia Cashman) was the son of John Broadhead, bc.1804, and Sarah Hanson. Both families lived at Richard Street.

Two days before Thomas Broadhead was buried at St Martin, Birmingham, aged 3 weeks old, his grandmother Sarah Broadhead nee Hanson, gave birth to my GGG Grandmother Prudence Broadhead on 25 Aug 1843, at Richard Street.
 
Re: Mary BROADHEAD: Marriage at St Martin, Birmingham, Warwickshire.

Hello Shera,

Re: 19.11.1820 andrew ?? to mary broadhead

I believe this to be the marriage between Andrew SMITH and Mary BROADHEAD. So thank you very much for the date.

In the 1841 Census, the family is living at Staniforth Street.
Andrew Smith was born c.1806 in Scotland. Mary Smith is listed as being born c.1806 in Ireland (Dublin on a later Census).

Andrew Smith's occupation was Silk Weaver.

Hello Shera,

Thanks for the 'odd ones'....

I am very interested in the baptism at St Chads Catholic Church and wonder if there are any more Broadhead baptisms....

I have never found any baptism /christening records for John or William Broadhead (who in the 1841 Census are the same age). I would love to know if their parents were Richard and Ann Broadhead.... and if Sarah and Mary Hanson had the same parents.
 
hello bas, unfortunately i only have a few records for churches other than st. martins. had another look but i dont have any more for broadhead.

that andrew was definitely smith (can see it now you have told me)

the lydia/lucy are correct as i have posted. i did look at it again myself yesterday when i realised the name had changed so as you say it could be a nickname or a completely different person!

all the best, shera
