Welcome to the Broadhurst One-Name Study

             registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies  ( Member 4963.)

                 The website has been created to enable anybody with an interest in the surnames

                 Broadhurst and Broadhouse and their variants including: Broadis, Broadist, Brodest, 

                 Brodis, Brodist, Behurst, Brodhurst, Brodhouse, Bradhurst to share and receive

                 information for their family history research.

What is a One-Name Study?

A one-name study is defined as "A project researching all occurrences of a

surname, as opposed to a particular pedigree (ancestors of one person) or

descendancy (descendants of one person or couple)."

Aims of the Study

The aim of this one-name study is to gather and provide access to information 

on the surname and variants from any available source worldwide.

I have been researching the surname and its variants for over 10 years.  In

that time I have received extensive help and input from researchers both in

the UK and overseas.  With their help I have built up a large database of

references to these surnames from a variety of sources.

I do not intend to make the database available on the internet but I am 

very happy to share information with anyone and to search the database

for particular individuals. While I try to ensure the accuracy of all the

material I hold, no responsibility is accepted for it and researchers are

advised to check original sources.

  Want to know more?

         If you are descended from a Broadhurst/Broadhouse (or variants) would you like to know     

         more about your branch of the family?

        I hold a large database relating to over 15,000 individuals including

                Birth, Marriage and Death registrations, (mainly UK, also Australia, USA, Canada)

                Census details,

                Family trees

                Wills and obituaries

                Criminal records

    WW1 and WWII documents and

     many other miscellaneous items from around the world.

  Can you help?

          All references sought - worldwide - any-time.

         If you have any information on the Broadhursts, Broadhouses  or variants however small,     

         wherever in the world, whenever in time - it will be gratefully received.
