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.
