Chapter 8.0
Thomas Bramhill and Mary Bairstow
By Pat King

My first documentation of our Bramhill Family goes back to the marriage of Thomas Bramhill and Mary Bairstow in Rotherham, Yorkshire, on the 26th October 1862. The marriage certificate states that Thomas' age is 22 years at this time. It seems that both Thomas and Mary were born about 1840. Thomas, a Cabinet Maker, was the son of John Bramhill. Thomas’ wife, Mary, a Straw Bonnet Maker, was the daughter of Matthew and Ann Bairstow.

Thomas and Mary produced four children:

1. Mary Ellen Bramhill, born 20 October 1865, in Rotherham
2. Adah Bramhill, born 1867 in Rotherham
3. Emma Bramhill, born 15 October 1871 in Rotherham
4. Richard Thomas Bramhill, born 1874, in Rotherham.

Note from Mark Peoples, Oct. 17, 2006

Many may find it odd that we did not include any information about her mother, Constance Bramhill Barrett, but we have no idea what happened to her. She left my mom and her brother as children and my mom spotted her on a bus in Manchester when my mom was 18 but that is the last time she saw her. Sad but interesting story.
