Hi Georgie,
My email address has changed since I was last on this site. A pity you hadn't contacted me before you came to Australia as my brother lives in Brisbane and my sister about half way between Brisbane & Toowoomba, which I take it was where you went to. Jackie, in particular, would have love to have met you. Did you forget to mention Fran in the email?

If you would like to contact me direct on ;

dencurt@westnet.com.au

I have information on many BROTHERHOOD descendants which we could talk about.

Regards,

Christine

Hi Christine, It's one of Joan's (Alice) daughters, I have seen the odd email you have sent to Patsy in the past but until now have never had time to take any interest in the family history, but now we are retired and I would like to try to get to know more, I have tried to look up my mums birth record but can only find the one for her marriage to dad, I did find Grandad's (John William) medal records for WW1, we sisters - Jillian, Roma, Patsy, me known as Georgie but recorded as Lesley and our remaining brother Andrew, (Tony sadly died 18 months ago) want to record Mum in the roll of Honour at the Bletchley Park site as she served there during WW2, but up to now I am not getting very far, I would also like to have a family tree on here so would love to hear what info you have, funnily enough we just got back from a trip to Australia this week.
Your Georgie Peters...Lesley Blackey.

My Granfather was a John William Brotherhood, Grandmother was Lily Maud, I have seen family records with the names of Thomas, Sarah and Clara,and know of great aunt Lizzie and a Liza, Grandad was a member of the Methodist Church at Thringstone, I wonder if they are the same family?

Re: BROTHERHOOD in Canada

highlander132 — 2008-09-19 04:18:04Z

Thanks for your reply. I now know we're on the right track. Sorting out the family lines is not easy as they are not unlike a hoorah's nest (not sure about the spelling as I've heard the expression all my life but never seen it written down). The reason I have information on James Brotherhood is because I thought his wife's grandfather, George Henderson (or "George of the 76th") was my gggf as he seemed to be in attendance at quite a few family b.m.d. functions in Quebec City and elsewhere over the years.

I am not able to sit at the computer for long stretches. It would be better if we could do direct e-mail, but there has been a change in the system and I don't think we can anymore. I'm sure I included my e-mail address in the original postings but they don't show up anymore and it was deleted from my response to you. I will work up a reply with further information, but it sometimes takes me a few days. I don't think I have exact dates of birth (or places for the matter) for George Henderson and Mary Cashel, but I did have some information from his military records and, of course the death and burial information in Canada.
I'll get together what I can and get back to you soon.

Re: BROTHERHOOD in Canada

rbrother67 — 2008-09-19 00:20:32Z

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I meant Lt. Wilfred Cashel Brotherhood, last child of M. L. Henderson.
It is complicated, indeed. Your ggguncle was John Henderson b.April 19, 1819 d.Dec 10, 1885 married on May 22, 1844 to Mathilda Lydia Henderson(!) b.Mar 24, 1818 d.Jun 1, 1891. Their daughter Mary Louisa Henderson b.Dec 22, 1846 in Quebec d.Nov 29, 1905 married James Brotherhood ( b.Jul 21, 1843 Chippenham, Wilts,UK, d.Oct 17, 1930) on Oct 21, 1868 and had 8 children in Canada.
James Bro then married again in England on July 31, 1908 to Maria van Stockum and had 2 children: James van Stockum Brotherhood (my father) b.Apr 20, 1909 d. Jul 30, 2004 and Willem Rowland Brotherhood b.Jan 22, 1912 d.Aug 2, 2003.
I do not have exact dates of the parents (George Henderson 1785 and Mary Cashel 1787) of Mathilda Lydia Henderson. Do you?

Re: BROTHERHOOD in Canada

highlander132 — 2008-09-16 03:28:16Z

This is a bit complicated. When I first posted seven years ago, I had not quite sorted out the intricacies of my Henderson ancestry in Canada and things turned out a bit differently. Mary Louisa HENDERSON, who married James BROTHERHOOD was my gggf's brother's daughter. My gggf, William Simpson HENDERSON, had died in or near Stratford, ON in 1857 and his widow and children emigrated to the U.S. shortly thereafter. It has been a long time since I worked on this particular family, and I don't recall the details very well at this point. However, I shall look into what I have and let you know. I know my ggguncle had only the one daughter, so I assume she was the mother of Lt. Wilfred Cashel BROTHERHOOD whom you have as James Wilfred BROTHERHOOD, and she would also have been the first wife of James BROTHERHOOD, b. 1843. Do you have any information on her in your files? I don't think I have a date of death for either of them.

Re: BROTHERHOOD in Canada

rbrother67 — 2008-09-16 00:52:21Z

James Brotherhood (1843, MY grandfather!) visited England in 1907 from Canada, met a lady (my grandmother) and married a second time, etc!
The house in Tintern, Mon. (it always WAS a fight whether it belonged to England or Wales...) was in our possession, and so James Wilfred stayed there before going to war.
Many, many more stories and publications exist about the family. Do you know?
Now looking for earlier ancesters.....

I'm looking for the Brotherhood's from Kent. Penshurst, Tonbridge & Tudeley & Capel area. Sophy Brotherhood married my great great grandfather William Towner. I believe the Brotherhood name and Brotherwood name are connected as I have seen it on a Census stating Brotherhood was listed as Brotherwood.
Love to hear from anyone about this.

Dear Christine,
Dear Christine,

Beatrice Mary Brotherhood was born 26 September 1864 and she was my husband’s great grandmother. Their son, William Brotherhood Smith born 27 September 1889 in England, was my husband's grandfather and I would be very grateful to know what you have researched.

Hi Christine,
I've found your 2006 message. I replied to a much earlier message, so I'm resending this in case your email address has changed.

Hi Christine,

You write that Beatrice and William had seven children. My husband's grandfather was William Brotherhood Smith born 27 September 1889, in Westminster and was one of those 7 children. He came out to South Africa and married Aletta Maria van der Westhuysen, and had 7 daughters the eldest of whom was my husband's mother who was born on Robben Island, Cape Town, in 1920.

Can you send me more information on the Brotherhood and Smith families? I am delighted to have "found" you! Penny

Re: Robert Linnell and Jemima (Penina) House, dau. of Rev.John House

drmcconnell — 2006-10-18 16:46:10Z

The proof on Jemimah Howes Linnell has never been found, to the best of my knowledge. However Robert Linnell's second wife was Peninah Howes Linnell, another daughter of Rev. John Howes of Eastwell Kent. If you are still interested in this, I can dig it out. There is a will for a Howes in London that proves this. I don't have the will, but there is an article in "The American Genealogist" also known as TAG, a very well respected journal that discusses this.

Re: Brotherhood, Leicestershire

Charlybrown11 — 2006-10-08 15:37:34Z

My grandmother died recently and we came across a bible that belonged to John Brotherhood. According to the dedication it was given to him by Markfield Primitive Methodist Sunday School on 12 April 1868, Easter Sunday. The following names were written on the next page: John Brotherhood 19 July 1818, Elizabeth Brooks 27 May 1820, George Brooks 12 May 1839, Ann Brotherhood 12 Feb 1841, Mary Brotherhood 17 Feb 1843, Sarah Brotherhood 27 June 1845, Thomas Brotherhood 9 March 1847, Sarah Brotherhood 29 May 1849, Clarah Brotherhood 30 July 1851, John Brotherhood 11 Aug 1853, Emmerline Brotherhood 2 Oct 1855, William Henry Brotherhood 19 Jan 1858, Eliza Brotherhood 20 March 1860, James Brotherhood 20 Nov 1861, Anne Brotherhood 25 Jan 1866.
I'm not quite sure how this ties in with my family tree yet, the only Brotherhood I have proper information on is my gt grandmother Annie Elizabeth (1877). I presume one of the above-mentioned must be a parent.

Re: The Brotherhood Ancestry

ChristineDenton — 2006-09-25 22:34:27Z

Angus,

Just reading the BROTHERHOOD board and I am very interested in this surname, in fact it was my mother's surname. Her branch of the family passed through Shepshed after living in Barrow Upon Soar and then moving on to Sheepy Magna, all in Leicestershire.

William, christened 28 December 1761 in Shepshed, is my 4 x g.grandfather. He married Sarah BADKIN in 1787.

I am missing quite a number of the BROTHERHOOD's who seemed to stay in Shepshed and would be willing to exchange information with you.

As a family, we emigrated to Australia in 1958, thus spreading the BROTHERHOOD's even further afield.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Hi Joan. It may take me a while to find the documents that might be useful for you. My paper docs are not too well organized. The Linnell Family Association [LFA]has a nice newsletter and an excellent book, The Descendents of Robert Linnell, by Rachel Linnell Wynn. Most copies that I know of are in Massachusetts libraries, but I have one. They can be purchased through the mail for $35 if you are interested.
You can join the LFA and get the newsletter by sending a check for $15 [single] or $25 [Family] to Scott Linnell, Treasurer, 23 Liberty Knoll Drive, Colt's Neck, NJ 07722. The next LFA reunion is on Cape Cod, June 23-25, 2006

Thank you ever so much. My addy is p o box 105, Hemlock, MI. 48626.

Presidents Garfield, Grant, FDR, Bush and Bush descend from the Rev. John Howes (House) as do we.They all descend through his daughter Hannah and the Rev. John Lathrop. I of course descend thru Robert Linnell and Peninah. I have seen Peninah in quotes after Jemimah, but never as a separate individual. I learn something new every day. Thanks again.

Re: Robert Linnell and Jemima (Penina) House, dau. of Rev.John House

Hi Joan. There is no question that Peninah Howes Linnell is the daughter of Reverend John Howes [House] and the sister-in-law of Rev John Lothrop of Barnstable ,MA. I have her baptismal record in Eastwell Kent, and the article in TAG that relates the will of her brother in London. It is very possible [and personally I think so] that Robert Linnell's first wife was named Jemimah, but it is definitely not proven. For your purposes ,though, I don't think it matters. If you send me your address, I will copy the documents and send them to you.

Re: Robert Linnell and Jemima (Penina) House, dau. of Rev.John House

2006-01-26 16:42:53Z

Thank you, I would very much like to have the proof. I had assumed that Jemima and Penina were the same person and that they were just not certain which one it was. I did get The Hereditary Order of the Society of Presidents and First Ladies of America to accept my papers using the Rev. John Howes
( House) as my consanguiine ancestor. Without looking at my papers, I believe five Presidents descend from him through Hannah who married the Rev. Lathrop, our Jemima (Penina) and I believe a brother. I do not have the papers in front of me, but if you would like to join the Society, I can get them to you.

Thanks, Joan

Do you have any information on William Brotherhood b1788 at Ulvescroft,Leicestershire ? he married Sarah Swift,also of Ulverscroft in 1811, they lived at Markfield,William died in 1850.
I am looking for any information regarding Williams parents

Robert Linnell and Jemima (Penina) House, dau. of Rev.John House

Nanajo32 — 2004-11-19 21:15:23Z

Does anyone have documentation they can send me with proof that Jemima was a daughter of Rev.John House and Alice Lloyd of Eastwell, England. I know that her sister, who married the Rev. John Lathrop is as well as her brother, Samuel House was. They all lived at Barnstable, Mass. in the early 1600s. I have the genealogy from there down, but want to connect Jemima as dau. of John and Alice House. Five Presidents: viz. Garfield, FDR, US Grant, Bush and Bush descend from the Rev. John House. I need it for my application to join Hereditary Order of Presidents and First Ladies of America Society. I am 72 and cannot get to libraries anymore.Hopefully I have a kind cousin out there who will scan it and send it. I know it appears in the Lathrop Genealogy, NEHGR, and the House Genealogy, just have lost my documentation.

Will have to check my files. My Brotherhoods are a bit earlier, but I have some info on later members of the family.

Offhand, I think the first of the Brotherhoods was an engineer and married Louise Henderson of Montreal and removed to Ontario. As I said, I'll check what I have and get back to you.
