1. JOHN7 BRAMHILL (MATTHEW6, JOHN5, THOMAS4, THOMAS3, JOHN2, WILLIAM1)1 was born January 26, 1820 in Epworth, Lincolnshire1, and died May 15, 1893 in Epworth, Lincolnshire2,3.

He laid the foundation stone for the John Wesley Hall in Epworth(?). This has now been converted to a garage and the stone has been lost. John was a farmer in West Stockwith.
Notes by Peter Stanley Bramhill:
John and Eliza's son, Matthew, was born 4 August 1855 at Kelfield,
near Owston, about 2 miles from Epworth in Lincolnshire. He married Annis
Morton on 1 November 1875 and their children Gertrude (born 18 April 1876),
Thomas William (born 31st March 1884) and Harry Morton (born 25 January
1890) were all born around the Rotherham area. Matthew's occupation changes
from labourer, to drayman to iron works labourer over the years.
John and Eliza had also moved to the same general area as had some of their other children including my ancestor William and George (the eldest son). Matthew's sister-in-law (Sarah Maria, Tom's wife) is a witness at Matthew and Annis's wedding and another brother Oliver and his wife (Clara) are also close by - in fact, the other Gertrude Annis (born 1888) who I thought might have been Matthew's daughter (perhaps replacing the 1876 Gertrude) turns out to be Oliver and Clara's child, named after her aunt!
The John and Eliza family have moved from agriculture in Lincolnshire and have migrated west to the industrial heartland of England. Rotherham was a big iron and steel town as was it's neighbour, Sheffield. Today, Rotherham is almost a suburb of Sheffield and the small villages, Masbrough, Kimberworth, Whiston, Aughton, etc where these Bramhill families were living have all been swallowed up by urban development.
Oliver and my great grandfather William were coal miners, Tom was a carter and the other brothers, George and Matthew had jobs in a steel works. I wonder what made Matthew want to move on further and emigrate?
Interestingly, looking at the 1881 census records, the Bramhills in
the east seem to have been more prosperous with farms and small holdings
whilst those in the west - even as far away as Lancashire and Liverpool
seem to be industrial workers.
Notes for ELIZA OLIVER:
Occupation - House Wife.
On the 1871 census for Rotherham on which John and Eliza Bramhill are documented, Eliza's father, George Oliver, was listed as living with them. He was 74 years, listed as an Agriculteral Labourer and was born in Belton, Lincolnshire.

Notes for HARRY MORTON
BRAMHILL:
By Millie Myers
My grandfather Harry Morton Bramhill was born to Matthew Bramhill and
Annis (Morton) Bramhill on 1/25/1890. He had one brother Thomas and four
sisters Gertrude, Eliza, Martha, and Lenora. He came to U.S. in 1904 at
the age of 14. There was mention if I remember correctly that a William
Bramhill lived with them for awhile but went back to England. I don't know
much else.
Almost all the family but my grandfather settled in the Michigan area
and I just today found where Gary lives who would be Thomas's grandson.
He lives in LincolnPark, Michigan Hope you can find connection.
