Patricia Report 15 Aug 2014 15:53

I am looking for information on the Broomhead family. My mum was Victoria Maud Broomhead, born 1914. The only other member of the family that I knew was Elsie, her sister. I know that before she died in 1969 she was anxious to get in touch with her sisters, Gertrude and Mildred and had already been in touch with her brother Fred who lived in Tenby. It would be nice to know a little bit more about her family.

Search for Broomhead in Tenby on 192.com.

Looks like Fred is still living there - he's on the 2013 electoral roll, at least.
Buy credits to see his address, and then you can contact him.
Hopefully he'll be able to tell you about his sisters.

(Of course it may be coincidence, and may be some other Frederick T Broomhead altogether. Or perhaps he's a son of your Fred.)

There are several other Broomheads listed in Tenby.
