Chapter 14.0
Arthur Bramhill
By Barbara Greensill

My grandfather was Arthur Bramhill and he was an Engine Fitter born in 1863 in Leeds.   We assume he came to Wolverhampton for work on the railways.  He married Jane Shaw in Claverley, Shropshire, a parlour maid who had been married before (nee Head) and who already had a son named James (Jim).  Jane Head was born on May 12, 1862 and died on November 13, 1952. Jane came originally from Shropshire and her family were farmers in Claverley.

They had 3 sons, Walter, William and Arthur John (my father). Arthur John was born on April 18, 1899 and died on September 6, 1960. He married Gladys Lillian Pritchard (my mother). We have always lived in the Wolverhampton area.

My great grandfather was Thomas Bramhill, who was born in 1838 in Doncaster and moved to Bilston, Wolverhampton, where he ran a public house. He married Susannah Robatham (born about 1837 in Walsall, Staffordshire) in August 1859 in Doncaster.

Thomas Bramhill's father was Robert Bramhill and there the story seems to end.   We know nothing of Robert or his family and should therefore be grateful to hear of any details.
