Clarence Stafford Bromell

Hi Liz,

I set up this page for an easier transfer of information. If we do find out we're cousins, I can add it to my genealogy--and it sure is looking more likely with every record I find.

First, I found Clarence in 1920

Next, I found his death notice:

Mother's Maiden Name Father's Surname
BROMELL CLARENCE S MALE 2 Jun 1896 10 Sep 1979 KANSAS SAN JOAQUIN 486104521

. . .and a marriage record:

Groom: Bromell, Clarence Stafford
Bride: Gulick, Anna
Marriage Date: April 8, 1919

and a military record, but it could be a son??

I then found John and "Ezra" in 1870:

BROMELL, JOHN
State: KS Year: 1870
County: Miami County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule
Township: Mound, Township. Page: 419
Database: KS 1870 Federal Census Index

I went to this page and found John, living with his wife Harriet, and some Lashers--
perhaps Harriet's brother or something. Two doors away is "Ezra" born in Wisconsin in 1847,
with his wife Harriet and two children, John and George. This is a pretty big coincidence,
since Emory was born in Wisconsin in 1847 and married a woman named Harriet. I think it's him.
It also fits with info above from Laura Kersey, that Emory had a son named John Preston
Bromell by Hattie [however, the birth date is different for John].

Found John in 1850, with son E.A.:

It's difficult to read, but here's what it says:

Apparently, Harriet Lasher was married before and had twin girls?

Also, my Bromells were all Wesleyan Methodists. I found this Wisconsin Methodist record:

Lot's of Bromells moved from Kansas to California. I just copied all of them here. A few have parents

All my Bromells were from Holsworthy. Here's what I found about Pancrasweek:

PANCRASWEEK (or WYKE ST. PANCRAS) is a village and parish in Holsworthy union, containing, by the census of 1861, 378 inhabitants, and 3782 acres ; in the deanery of Holsworthy, archdeaconry of Barnstaple, hundred of Black Torrington, diocese of Exeter ; 3 miles north-west from Holsworthy, and 5 east from Stratton, in Cornwall, on the east bank of the river Tamar, which divides it from that county. The living is a curacy annexed to the vicarage of Bradworthy, in the incumbency of the Rev. James Burden Clyde, and the patronage of the Crown; joint annual value, £243. The church is an ancient edifice, dedicated to St. Pancras, in the Perpendicular style, consisting of nave, chancel, north transept, and aisle, with tower containing five bells. The Wesleyans have a place of worship here, and there is a Parochial School for children of both sexes. Sir Charles Stucley Stucley, Bart., and Earl Stanhope are the chief landowners.
