My great grandfather came from England. My grandfather was born at Lester's Point, Labrador. I have no idea when they came here to Canada as we can't find out a whole lot of info on them.

Hi Marian

 

I have a picture of my great grandfather here I was going to put on the site. And I have a little bit more info here . I have this to add, William Broomfield from Eng, moved to Battle Harbour in 1795 and left Battle Harbour in 1811 and showed up in Tikeraulk, Labrador around 1812. Apparently my great grandfather's name was Thomas Abram Alfred Broomfield.

Hi Susan -  Broomfields are mentioned on this site:

It seems that your William Broomfield went with John Broomfield (his brother?) to Canada with the company T. & D. Slade of Poole, Dorset.

Hi Marian

 

Karen Matheson is my sister. She lives in Ontario and I am in Alberta. We both have that info, that Broomfield that died on Christmas Day was our grandfather.

Susan

Yes this is our family. Thank you

This Stanley at this address is my distant cousin. His father is related to my father somehow. His father's name was Samuel Broomfield with a sister Dulcie and Harriet I think.

Susan
 
Not sure if you checked out this site?

 

It actually mentions your William (and John) Broomfield by name.
