Broughton

Hi Jax

I tried all the usual sites for Charlotte's birth/baptism without success.

However, there are quite a few trees on ancestry which have her born in England 1814 - father William Broughton mother unknown. The source cited is the Red Rover record but that doesn't have her country of birth. You also mentioned that she left from Cork. I can post the rest of the details if you wish - married Michael Hyam & died in Sydney 1849

I did find the following which might solve it if you are in Sydney:

Hi Col,

I am enormously grateful for your reply. Yes, my Charlotte arrived Sydney on Red Rover and married Michael Hyam. I had some information which led me to believe she was Irish. I will follow up! This has been one of my huge obstacles and you have made me very happy.

I think from your email that Charlotte is not an ancestor or yours, but if he is, I have some details of some descendants which I am happy to pass on

Hi Jax

Great you found the info helpful.

No Broughtons in my lines I'm afraid.

Cheers

Col
