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 DOUCE, DOUSE 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.

Arthur William Sawyer (b. 1863), son of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, married Mary Ann Littlewood (b. 10 Apr 1863), daughter of Joseph Littlewood and Jane Leckenby, on 14 Apr 1885, at St. Thomas's Church, Hull (another lost church that was damaged in a Zeppelin raid in the First World War and more severely by bombing in the Second World War. Subsequently demolished.) 

Arthur and Mary Ann had five children:

1. Arthur Edward Sawyer b. 1885 S Quarter in CAISTOR Volume 07A Page 647, bap. 28 Oct 1885 at St Andrew's, Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
2. Etheleen Mary Sawyer b. 1887 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 293, bap. in 1890, in Hull.
3. Elsie Verna Sawyer b. 1890 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 241, bap. in 1890, in Hull. Died in the same 1890 D Quarter in HULL Vol 09D Page 171.
4. Olive May Sawyer b. 1891 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 280, bap. in 1891, in Hull.
5. Horace Sawyer b. 1893 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 301, bap. 31 May 1893 at St. Luke's Church, Hull. Died in the same quarter of  1893 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 175.

Clearly they were in Hull in 1891, but I haven't found them on that year's census.

In 1901, Arthur W Sawyer (37) Upholsterer, was living in Denman Street, West Derby, Lancashire - described as "an affluent suburb of Liverpool" - with wife Mary A Sawyer (37) from Strensall, North Yorkshire; Arthur E Sawyer (15) and a John T Bestwich (20) also an Upholsterer from Matlock, Derbyshire, Boarder. That year Etheleen Sawyer (13) was a visitor in the household of Walter Littlewood (35) Schoolmaster from Rochdale, Lancashire at Salisbury Terrace, Wavertree, Lancashire. Presumably, Walter Littlewood was a relative of Mary Ann's. I've not managed to locate Olive May who would have been around 9 or 10.

In 1911, Arthur William Sawyer (46) Upholsterer in the Wicker and Cane Industry was living in Syston, Leicestershire with wife Mary Ann Sawyer (46) Housekeeper, Arthur Edward Sawyer (24) Upholsterer; Etheleen Mary Sawyer (23), Olive May Sawyer (19) Upholstress; Edmund John Timlock (20) Cane Furniture Worker, Boarder and William Alfred Dare (21) Draughtsman from Stepney, London, Visitor.

In 1921, Arthur William Sawyer (58) from Hull, General Upholsterer employed by Saunders House Furnishers, and Mary Ann Sawyer (58) were Boarders in the household of William John Daniell, Blacksmith - whose wife Mabel was the Boarding House Keeper - at 4, The Myrtles, Sidmouth, Devon.

In 1939, they were both living at Snelston, Fortescue Road, Sidmouth, Devon, along with daughter, Olive May and son-in-law, Cyril Bernard Hawes Bloxam.

Mary Ann Sawyer died, aged 85, in Honiton, Devon in  1948.

Arthur William Sawyer died, aged 86, in Honiton, Devon in 1949.

• Arthur Edward Sawyer married Ellen Elizabeth Snell on 2 Aug 1913 at St Andrew's Church, Leicester. Records in 1915 to 1919 suggest Arthur served in the Army during World War I. I cannot find that this couple had any children. Ellen Elizabeth Sawyer died, aged 50, in Leicester, in 1937. Arthur Edward Sawyer died, at 61, in Leicester, in 1947. 
• Etheleen Mary Sawyer married Sidney Charles Odam, in Syston, Leicestershire on 6 Sep 1922. They appear to have had two sons: Norman Sidney Odam on 15 July 1923 and Roy in 1925, both born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Sidney Charles Odam died at 64, in Leicester, in 1952. Etheleen Mary Odam died in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, in 1975. Norman Sidney Odam died on 20 Jun 2000 and is buried at Weddington (Saint James) Churchyard. Roy Odam died in Atherstone, Warwickshire, in 2013.
• Olive May Sawyer married Cyril Bernard Hawes Bloxam, in 1917, in Leicester. Their son, Bernard Arthur Sawyer Bloxam was born, on 23 Nov 1919, in Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire and baptised in 1920, in Syston. They were living in Barrow upon Soar in 1921. Olive May Bloxam died in Honiton, Devon in 1964 and Cyril B H Bloxam remarried to Rose Banfield, also in Honiton, in 1965. Cyril Bernard Hawes Bloxam died, in Honiton, Devon, in 1988, aged 98. And a record of a Rose Bloxom (b. 1918), who died, in Exeter, Devon, in 2000. Bernard Bloxam married in Blaby, Leicestershire in 1942 and died in Leicester in 2005.

Harry Lowe Bloom and Ivy Tummon

Harry Lowe Bloom (b. 24 May 1911), married Ivy Tummon (b. 19 Jul 1916), daughter of George Tummon and Fanny Elwick, in Hull in Q4 of 1935. 

In 1921, Harry Lowell Bloom (10) was living in the household of William Finn (34) at 3, Ethel's Grove, Brighton Street, Sculcoates, listed as his Step-son. William Finn, Soldier, had married Harry's mother, Agnes Daisy Bloom, Spinster, on 6 May 1916. No mother's maiden name was listed on Harry's birth record, which confirms that he was born illegitimately. Lowe could have been his father's surname. 

Harry and Ivy appear to have five children:

1. Harry Kenneth Bloom b. 3 Jul 1936 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 312)
2. Dennis Bloom b. 1938 Q4 in Hull
3. Gladys Bloom b. 1939 Q4 in Hull, died in the same quarter.
4. Lillian Bloom b. 1939 Q4 in Hull, died in the same quarter.
5. Maurice Bloom b. 1940 Q4 in Hull

Gladys and Lillian, born and died in 1939, quite clearly must have been twins.

In 1939 living at 6 Columbine Terrace, Strickland Street, Kingston Upon Hull (parallel to Wassand Street, where Ivy grew up), were Harry Bloom, General Labourer; Ivy Bloom, Harry K Bloom. A closed record would relate to Dennis. 

The family clearly must have moved to Manchester at some point. 

Both Dennis and Maurice married in Manchester, in 1968 and 1972, respectively. Ivy Bloom died, aged 60, in Manchester in 1976, Harry Lowe Bloom died, in Manchester, in 1977, he will have been 66. Harry Kenneth Bloom died, also in Manchester, at 52, in 1988. Dennis and Maurice may still be still living.
