I am a third party but this is the request ...
"Does anyone have any information on the family of A.Broadbent who in 1914 lived on Grafton Street, Altrincham. (think this was a builder/joiner/undertaker). They had a daughter called Muriel. I would love to return something to the family. I have tried to track the family for years. I had hoped someone could help me, anyone please? I am 87 years old and feel time is running out, please can anyone help me?" Thanks!

RamblingRose - did you say you would be sending me Elizabeth's details of marriage? I imagine she may be still living?

Rambling Report 4 Feb 2016 21:34

Yes it's at the end of my message, marriage to Frederick Greaves, but I can't find them after that, there is a possible son in as much as there is a birth with correct mmn but not able to find him on electoral rolls etc.

But having said that might have found a death for frederick Greaves, will just check it out

Thank you so much for all the info. I think my lady needs to move the search forward to see if there's anyone still around related to this family so she can return the item she would like go back into the family. Tracking the children of Muriel might be a good place to start.
