The
Bromell Family

I
don't know much about this branch of
the family. I know that Emily (Emma)
Bromell was my grandfather William Albert's
mother. My grandmother Ariel said that
Emma's father owned a hotel in Toronto
and that there was a large picture of
her on the wall in the lobby. This picture
shows Emma with her husband, John Albert
Billings and her children. They are
Caroline, Gladys and William Albert.
The photo was probably taken around
1903 in St. Thomas, Ontario.
The
first record I found was Emma with her
parents and siblings in the 1871 Ontario
census. Her father William is listed
as an innkeeper. I found William Bromell
again in 1901 in Toronto--an innkeeper.
I
have since found William, his siblings
and his parents in the 1851 census in
North Arscott, Holsworthy, Devonshire,
England. I also found Emma was buried
with her husband and sister Amelia Brumell
Dyker in the same plot in the St. Thomas
West Avenue Cemetery in Ontario. I have
facts, but no personal data or stories
and would love to find some Bromell
family to share research with.
This week, I met a couple online who
are also researching Bromells. Rick
and Liz Franklin are researching her
grandfather Clarence Stafford Bromell,
his father Emory Asbury Bromell and
their ancestors. Both of our Bromell
lines seem to spring from the same area
in England, beginning with John Bromell
III who moved to Kansas from Pancrasweek,
England. His father, John Bromell II
lived in Holsworthy, where my line originates,
also. I have posted a new page with
information on Clarence and his ancestors.

[2005
update: I have found a few generations
back and I'm still going strong. I also
received an email about a year ago from
a possible cousin. I'm still working
to find our connection.]
