William Brocklesby 1813-1892
A successful armer. Born Appleby, lived mainly in North Killingholme Lincolnshire
1813. William Brocklesby was baptised Appleby to parents John Brocklesby & Elizabeth East on 22/4/1813 - FS
1841C. Too many entries for William Brocklesby to determine which one could be he - no birthplace given in this census - but I have a feeling that he was already married in 1841C and that his 1849 Marriage was his second - would need to get the 1849 m.c. to verify this. . There is a William Brocklesby ,25, farmer in Grasby, with Elizabeth, 20 & Mary 1 . He the only farmer I can find. Grasby W of Grimsby, E of Scawby & SW of Killingholme
1849. William Brocklesby, 36, married Charlotte Spendley Caistor Dec 1849
1851C. William Brocklesby, 36, farmer is living Melbourne, North Killingholme, Glanford Brigg. Just a few doors from a Robert & Rebecca Brocklesby- could this be an uncle?

| Edward | Boulton | Servant | Unmarried | Male | 17 | 1834 | Farm Servant | Lincolnshire, England |
Why is his wife entered as Harriot? - have checked the original . Snitterby not near Grimsby, which is what I think the 1861C reads . 1871C illegible for her birth! But 1881C does say Snitterby , so seems to be the same person . Either they gave the enumerator a wrong name or he made a mistake
1854. Mary Brocklesby was born to parents William and Charlotte Glanford Brigg [Mar] /Dec 1854 . As there are 2 births the same year, how can I be sure I have her in the correct family- by her birthplace on the censuses : the other, seemingly older Mary lived around Boston/Caistor
