Jane and Alice were definitely sisters. The family is complicated because an Edward Broadley married a Betty Broadley, thus crossing two branches of the family. Jane was baptized at Altham, born 20 jan 1802, buried at Altham as daughter of Edward 8 aug 1856. Her brother Robert was born in 1805 and Alice or Alley in 1808. Edward died in 1808 and Betty lived in a house in the Moorside till she died in 1839, buried Altham. In 1841 in the Moorside there is a double page spread with several broadley families. Two of those families are of a Thomas Broadley=Ann Monk and an Edward Broadley =Nanny Monk at Altham 1810. These are from a branch which had been catholic and they are brothers. The Edward who died was their cousin and he was born catholic, but Betty was from an Anglican line so their children were Anglican, sorry got to make tea, will return, Marie

Thanks Flick - I think only searched from 1852!

Not that it helps to find alice & jane - just trying to get a picture really

It says Parish of Pittington in the cunty of Durham. I have just checked BMD and it is not there and I cannot remember how I found it.

still can't find any marriage of a Mary Ann & Richard in Jun qtr 1857 in Durham reg district - is that the right district for Pittington?

Sorry Ann you are right it is Mary Ann not Jane.
I have wedding certifivcate here in front of me where is the ref no?

sorry Gail I still can't find it. Can you post the details for ref please.

If those1861 & 1881 censuses are correct she was Mary Ann not Mary Jane

They married in Pittington 1857 April 7

When did Richard marry mary jane please. I can't find it

Hi Flick,
The 1861 family that you posted is my Broadley family on some census they are down as Bradley.
I do not have the early census records of them.
Gail

You didn't mislead anyone - I was just clarifying the info

Have you found Richard on 1841 census?

I am sorry if I have misled anyone by the information that I have given.
I am led to believe that Alice and Jane are sisters but have not confirmed this.
I have information regarding Jane's son Richard born Clayton lee moors and who he married - Mary Jane Stephenson (supposed to related to Rocket family).
Gail

As you say you know nothing about them other than Jane's illegitimate son, I'm curious to know how you are certain they are sisters?

Are they together in a census?

You haven't even given birthplace info, although I asked in an earlier posting

Yes they are sisters Flick
