Chapter 6.3
By Ann Milroy
My great-grandfather Arthur Bramhill was born in
Epworth on December 3, 1856, the third child of
Richard and Harriet Bramhill. He had two older sisters Elizabeth and Harriet
and a younger brother George Franklin. According to census entries at the time
of Arthur’s birth Richard was a postman but he later became a grocer and
druggist and by 1881 was listed as a master druggist.
In 1879 Arthur married Elizabeth Stanewell b 1859 in
Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. In 1881 they were living in High Street, Epworth
and Arthur was listed as a master grocer. Arthur and Elizabeth had three
daughters - Harriet Gertrude (known as Gertie) born 21 November 1882, Minnie (known
as
Peggy) born 1886 and Annie (known
as
Nancy) born 1890. All three were born in Epworth.
Gertie was my grandmother. I know very little about their childhood. In the 1901 census they were still living in
High Street, Epworth. Occupations were Arthur - grocer, Harriet - seamstress,
Minnie - pupil teacher and Annie - scholar. Minnie later became a teacher.
At some time after 1901 Arthur and family moved to
Gainsborough. Arthur died in 1908 from pleurisy and pneumonia at the age of 51.
His death certificate gives his occupation as auctioneer’s clerk. Elizabeth died in 1915.
In 1912 Gertie married Ernest Bacon, a 47-year-old
widower, originally from Brimington Derbyshire, on 23 December 1912 in
Gainsborough. They were both living in Gainsborough at the time of the
marriage.
Gertie and Ernest had one daughter Marjorie Bramhill Bacon born 31 May 1914 in Gainsborough. On 4 November 1939 Marjorie married Patrick William Douglas Milroy whose parents originally came from Scotland but were then living in Gainsborough. Patrick was serving in the army (Royal Artillery) at the time and later spent two years in India attached to the Indian Army. After the war he returned to the National Provincial Bank. They had two children - myself Ann Patricia and Peter Douglas.
Both Peggy and Nancy married - Peggy to Levi Walker
and Nancy to Jack Schaschke Peggy had one daughter Pamela and Nancy also had one
daughter Audrey. Pamela married Philip McKearney a Foreign Office diplomat and
Audrey married Ronald Pepper a dentist.
Gertie died in 1955 and Marjorie in 1982. I never
discussed the family history with them when they were alive, as at that time I
had no interest in it. Now I have it’s too late. However I am very grateful for
the information I have got from John Quanz’ Bramhill.com site. I should be
delighted to hear from any as yet unknown relatives especially if they can add
to my knowledge of Arthur and family. I can be contacted at
