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.

John Travis and Mary Markham

Great Union Street, Kingston upon Hull

Across the road from the former churchyard of St Peter's, Drypool, the Victoria Dock Tavern. Opened by local brewer, Simon Cook, late 1820s, as the Albion, a famous sailing ship of its day. Its name was changed in the 1840s to reflect the construction of Victoria Dock.

John Travis (b. 26 Aug 1816 in Worksop, Nottinghamshire), by trade a Turner, son of George Travis and Charlotte Tall, married Mary Markham, daughter of Joseph Markham and Sarah Dawson, on 2 Oct 1841 in the Parish of Drypool, St Andrew. Both gave their address as Great Union Street. Although listed as the parish of St Andrew, Drypool, St. Andrew's Church was not consecrated until 1878, so they will have married at the former St Peter's Church, Drypool Green. (Destroyed by bombs in 1941, its shell survived the war, the tower being the last part to be demolished. The churchyard is now a garden.) Witnesses to their marriage were Henry Redmore and Mary's sister, Martha Markham, who themselves married in 1844.

When John's parents married, at All Saints Church, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, on 1 Aug 1815, George Travis was described as 'Labourer of the Parish of Worksop in the County of Nottinghamshire', which explains John's birthplace.

John and Mary Travis had no children of their own.

In 1851, John Travis (34) Labourer from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, was living in Cumberland Street, St Paul, Sculcoates with Mary Travis (29).

In 1861, John Travis (44) and Mary Travis (39) were occupying 150 & 151 Church Street, St Marys Sculcoates. It hasn't been possible to read John's occupation.

In 1871, John Travis (54) Oil Miller was living at 41, Lime Street, Sutton, Sculcoates with Mary Travis (49).

In 1881, John Travis (64) Dock labourer was living at East Side, 37, Grange Street, Sculcoates with Mary Travis (59) Grocer.

John Travis died, at 74, in 1891 M Quarter in SCULCOATES.

In 1891, Mary Travis (69) Widow, Grocer, lived at 78, Grange Street, Sculcoates with Ada M Redmore (18) Dressmaker, Niece. (Great-niece, daughter of James Markham Redmore, elder son of Henry Redmore and Martha Markham.).

Mary Travis, widow of the late John Travis, Oil Refiner, died on 6 Jun 1897 (in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 142), according to the notice published in the Hull Daily Mail. Mary Travis (76) was buried on 9 Jun 1897 in the parish of Sculcoates, All Saints. On the burial record, her abode is listed as Workhouse. Presumably the Sculcoates Union Workhouse, later the Beverley Road Institution and eventually Kingston General Hospital, this was undoubtedly because it was the only place people could then get treatment and care in sickness and old age.

19th century headstones set against a brick wall in the old churchyard on the site of St. Peter's Church, near the junction of St Peter Street and Great Union Street, Hull.

Thomas Glew (bap. 1 Sep 1839 in Sculcoates), son of William Glew and Jane Clark, married Hannah Amelia Broomby (b. 1839 in Nottingham), daughter of William Broomby and Mary Ann Douse, in Sculcoates in the first quarter of 1857.

Thomas and Hannah Amelia had thirteen children:
  1. Hannah Glew b. 8 Apr 1857 in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 136
  2. George Clark Glew b. 1859 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 145. Died, aged 3, in 1863 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 121

  8. Sarah Jane Glew b. 1871 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 171

  13. Mary Ann Glew b. 11 Mar 1881 (J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 181), bap. 31 Mar 1881 at Christ Church, Sculcoates.
All of the birth registrations have the mother's maiden name of BROOMBY. And, I've checked them all and the last child is the only one to have been baptised.

In 1861, Thomas Glew (21) Mate employs 2 men; Hannah A Glew (22) and George C Glew (1) were living at 25, Harbour Square, Sculcoates. Hannah Glew (4) was with her grandparents, William and Jane Glew aboard the vessel, "Cousin Mary", then located at Oaks Colliery, Ardsley, Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

In 1871, Thomas Glew (31) employed at an Oil Mill; Hannah Glew (32), John W Glew (8), Joseph Glew (2) and Sarah A (sic) Glew (0) were living at 2, Wilkinson's Terrace, Sculcoates (which I believe was in Green Lane, Wincolmlee). Hannah Glew (13) was with her grandparents on the vessel, "Sarah", around Mexborough.

In 1881, living at 3, Lawson's Court, Sculcoates (which seems also to have been in Wincolmlee in the All Saints Parish of East Hull) were Thomas Glew (41) Dock Labourer; Hannah A Glew (42), John Wm Glew (18), Joseph Glew (12), Sarah J Glew (10), George H Glew (8), Ernest Glew (6), Elizabeth Glew (3), Hester [Esther] Glew (1) and Mary Ann Glew (3 weeks). (Hannah Glew had married in Jan.)

[Hannah] Amelia Glew died, aged 44, in 1883 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 113 and was buried on 4 Oct 1883 at St. Peter's Church in Drypool.

Thomas Glew (50) widower, married Alice Austin (30) widow, both of 7 Bourne Street, on 22 Dec 1889, at Christ Church, Sculcoates. Witnesses were William Glew and Maria Glew. Born Alice Morrow, on 4 Sep 1859, she had previously married John Albert Austin, in 1883, with whom she had two children: Alice Austin b. 1884 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 195 and George Austin b. 1 Jan 1885 (M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 183). John Albert Austin died, aged 31, and was buried on 20 Feb 1886 at Sheffield, City Road Cemetery. (Alice Austin Jnr was brought up by her maternal grandmother.)

Thomas and Alice added a further eight children:
  1. Thomas William Glew b. 15 Jan 1890 (1890 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 196) 
  2. Jane Glew b. 26 Mar 1892 (1892 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 205)
  3. Maria Glew b. 3 Dec 1893 (1894 M Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 193)
  4. Susannah Glew b. 28 Mar 1895 (1895 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 212)
  5. Ada Glew b. 1898 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 225. Died, aged 2 on 17 Feb 1900 from Bronchitis and was buried on 22 Feb 1900.
  6. Ruth Amy Glew b. 1899 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 227. Died 30 Sep 1899 from Convulsions and was buried on 4 Oct 1899.
  7. Edith Glew b. 1901 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 228. Died, aged 10, 1911 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 306
  8. Albert Glew b. 19 Aug 1904 (1904 S Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 255)
On the birth registration for Thomas William, the mother's maiden name is incorrectly listed as MURRAY; on those for Jane, Ada and Albert it's 'usefully' wrong as AUSTIN and those of Maria, Susannah, Ruth Amy and Edith, MORROW.

So yes, Thomas Glew had an incredible 21 children and 2 step-children in total!

In 1891, at 7, Bourne Street, were Thomas Glew (51) Oil Mill Labourer; Alice Glew (31), George H Glew (18) & Ernest Glew (16) Oil Mill Labourers; Elizabeth Glew (13), Mary Ann Glew (10), Thomas W Glew (1) and George Austin (6) Stepson.

In 1901, at 8, Bourne Street, Sculcoates were Thomas Glew (62) Labourer in Oil Mill; Alice Glew (42), George Austin (16) Errand boy; Thomas W Glew (11), Jane Glew (9), Maria Glew (7), Susannah Glew (6) and Edith Glew (2 months). Esther Glew (20) Embosser printer was living in the household of George Milner - who was married to her eldest sister Hannah - at 100, Spyvee Street, Sculcoates.

In 1911, Thomas Glew (71) Labourer in oil mill was living at 1 Reform Street, Hull with Alice Glew (51), George Austin (26), Thomas W Glew (21), Jane Glew (19), Maria Glew (17), Susannah Glew (16), Edith Glew (10) and Albert Glew (6). This census confirms that Thomas and Alice had eight children, of whom six were still living and two at that point had died, during their 22 years of marriage.

In 1921, Thomas Glew (81) Retired, was still living at 1, Reform Street, Hull, with Alice Glew (61), Thomas William Glew (31), Maria Glew (27) and Albert Glew (16).

Thomas Glew died, aged 85, in 1925 J Quarter Volume 09D Page 231.

In 1939, Alice Glew, Widowed, was living at 40 Staveley Road, Kingston Upon Hull with son, Albert Glew and a James Henry Fern (Lodger, presumably.)

Alice Glew died at 94 in 1954 J Quarter in HULL Volume 02A Page 271.
