Bronte

Classification: Query
Surnames: Bronte, Moore, Reynalds
I was browsing Ancestry.com during their recent free access days and
came across several images concerning the Bronte family.

***************************************************************************************

The first was marriage particulars for a Emily Jane Bronte [a Post
Office Clerk, age 28, birthplace Rathfriland, Co Down] and William
Johnston Reynalds [a farmer, age 33, birthplace Ontario] on 22 June
1922 in York, Ontario, Canada.
The parents of Emily are given as William Bronte & Mary Henry and the
parents of William Reynalds as James Reynalds & Mary McNeill. The
witness are named as Branwell B Moore and Mary Lillian [could be May
Lilias] Moore.

I'm fairly sure that the Branwell B. Moore is in fact Branwell Bronte
Moore, a grandson of William Bronte & Mary Ann Honnah.

However I'm not at all sure who the others are and I don't have a
William Bronte married to a Mary Henry.

*****************************************************************************************

The second was an entry in an 1891 New York passenger list for the S.S
Circassia [sailing from Scotland to New York, arrival date 2 January
1891] for a Miss E. Bronte [age 18 from Ireland]

******************************************************************************************

The third is a US passenger list for the RMS Makura, sailing from
Wellington, New Zealand [NZ], date 21 April 1932 where a Madeline
Annie Bronte is listed.She is age 52, a widow, born in Co Armagh but a
NZ citizen.

**********************************************************************************************

The fourth is also a passenger list for the Wisconsin, arriving in New
York 28 June 1875 where a William Bronte [age 36] and his wife Annie
Bronte [age 37] are listed.

***************************************************************


Does anyone know where they fit into the Bronte family tree please?
