Harry Bramhill

By Jean Hewitt (nee Bramhill)

 

My Grandfather Harry Bramhill lived during his early married life in Normanby and also lived, I believe, on Scotter Road Scunthorpe, Crosby Le Moor farm, Gunness and Keadby, where he lived with my Auntie Ena and Ben Jacobs her husband. He was a farm foreman.

 

He died in 1967 and according to his gravestone in Burton on Stather graveyard was 80 years old.  Therefore, he would have been born around 1887. His wife's name was Ada, died aged 41 in 1930 - same grave. They had 3 children.  Ida, Ena and Harry, my father. Harry, my father, was born in 1916 and died in 1997 and was the youngest.

 

There is a Harry born in 1887 showing in the Birth Registration Index of 19th Century Bramhills.  However, I can find no record of a Harry born in 1887 on the Census 1901.

 

There is a Gardham Bramhill (wife Alice) who had 4 children, named in the Chapter 12 Jonathan Bramhill Descendants.   One of these children was Harry but no mention of him after that.

 

I have only recently begun my search but if anyone can help I would be grateful.

 

Regards

Jean Hewitt (nee Bramhill)
