William Broomby (b. 1818 in Nottingham), Flax Dryer, son of Thomas Broomby, Oil Miller, and [I believe], Hannah Gregory, married Mary Ann Douse (bap. 23 Jun 1818 at Holy Trinity Church, Hull), daughter of George Douse, Flax Dryer, and Hannah Hamilton, at St Mary's Church, Nottingham, on 25 Dec 1837.

William and Mary Ann had at least these nine children:
  1. Hannah Amelia Broomby b. 1839 J Quarter in Nottingham Vol 15 P 615
  2. Harriet Broomby b. 1841 S Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 15 Page 580. Died in 1842 J Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 15 Page 410
  3. George Broomby b. 1843 J Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 15 Page 591
  4. John Broomby b. 1846 in Derby, Derbyshire (No GRO record found.)
  5. Mary Ann Broomby b. 1849 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 523
  6. William Broomby b. 1853 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 130
  7. Tom Broomby b. 1855 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 107
  8. Henry Broomby b. 1859 S Quarter in BOSTON Volume 07A Page 358
  9. Joseph Broomby b. 1862 J Quarter in BOSTON Volume 07A Page 382
Although Hannah Amelia's birth is listed, with references, at FindMyPast, this record does not come up at the GRO. The records that are found at the GRO list the mother's maiden name as DOUCEDOUSE or DOWSE.

In 1841, at Millintons Yard, St Mary, Nottingham, were William Broomby (23) Flax Dresser; Mary Broomby (22) Spinner and [Hannah] Amelia Broomby (1).

In 1851, at Robinsons Entry, 3, Princess Street, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, were William Broomby (33) Seed crushers journeyman; Mary Ann Broomby (31), George Broomby (7), John Broomby (5) and Mary Ann Broomby (1). Not found Hannah Amelia, who will have been 12 and may have been already out working.

In 1861, living in Spain Court, Boston, Lincolnshire, were William Broomby (43) Seed crusher foreman; Mary A Broomby (42), John Broomby (15), Mary Ann Broomby (11), William Broomby (8), Tom Broomby (5) and Henry Broomby (0).

In 1871, living in Calder Street, Everton, West Derby, Lancashire were William Broomby (53) Seed crusher; Mary Ann Broomby (53), William Broomby (17), Harry Broomby (10), Joseph Broomby (8) and Hannah Broomby (78) Grandmother, Widow, from Derbyshire. Presumably, calling her Grandmother means one of the children, most likely William Jnr, completed the Census return or responded to the enumerator and that this could well be William Snr's mother. 

In 1881, William Broomby (63) Cart owner (Carter) was living at Poulton Bridge, Poulton with Seacomb, Birkenhead, Cheshire with Mary Ann Broomby (62), Joseph Broomby (19) and Jane Broomby (15) 'Neice' (I believe was their granddaughter, Elizabeth Jane Broomby, daughter of John Broomby and Hannah Allcock).

William Broomby died aged 71, in 1889 J Qtr in WIRRAL Vol 08A Page 289.

Mary Ann Broomby died in 1890 M Qtr in BIRKENHEAD Vol 08A Page 428.

Edward Redmore married Margaret Markby at St Botolph's ChurchBoston, Lincolnshire on 13 Jan 1708. Edward Redmore, I believe, was baptised in Sibsey, Lincolnshire on 6 Dec 1679, the son of George and Alice Redmore.

Edward and Margaret had at least four children:
  1. William Redmore bap. 1 Oct 1710 at St Botolph's Church, Boston
  2. George Redmore bap. 31 Mar 1712 in Boston, Lincolnshire
  3. Mary Redmore bap. 16 Oct 1713 at St Botolph's Church, Boston
  4. Edward Redmore bap. 16 Oct 1715 in Freiston, Lincolnshire
On 27 Mar 1717 there is a burial of an Edward Redmore of Freiston, in Sibsey, Lincolnshire. There is nothing in the record to specify whether it was father or son, however, two things lead me to believe it was the father: a) infant burials on the same page of the original parish record have generally been listed as son or d (for daughter) of ... and this wasn't and b) it's possible that he was buried back at his parish of birth, either at the behest of authorities or family request.

As is often the case with women, I can find no further records for Margaret.
