He was born in Halifax and moved to Southowram.
He married Unknown.
Children:
Thomas left a will dated 24th July 1576.
He was buried at Halifax Parish Church
[28th July 1576].
It appears that most of their children died, since Samuel, in his
will of 1614, only mentions his sister Mary and brother James.
There is no baptism for James, so the will has been useful in showing
James belongs to this family.
Samuel was baptized 4th April 1580 and his sister Mary 22nd August
1585.
Perhaps James was born in 1587, as there is a gap in the family there.
Samuel's mother was Jennet Tattersall bap 13th July 1554, daughter of
Edward and her brother was Samuel Tattersall 24th February 1569,
probably the Samuel mentioned in the will.
This is interesting because Edward Tattersall married Alice Broadley
22nd September 1551.
Did Michael Broadley marry his cousin?
Samuel Broadley of Halifax married Esther Lumme 8th July 1604.
Ester daughter of George Lome of Sowerbie was bap at Halifax 18th
March 1581 and her brother George 28th October 1578.
George Lumme is named at Samuel Broadley's brother-in-law in the will.
There is a burial for Samuel Broadley of Sowerby at Halifax 28th
September 1613.
Although it doesn't say wife of, this must be Esther as Samuel wrote
his will 18th January 1614 and probate was 14th March 1614, so he
died between these dates.
John s Samuel Brodell of North bap 20th February 1607, Anne of North
1st October 1609, Jennet of Hal 1st February 1611-18th August 1612,
Anne of Hal 29th August 1613.
These are possible children for Samuel and Esther, but none appear in
the will so they must all have died.
Samuel names his sister as Mary Hill, wife of Thomas Hill and mother
of John and Samuel Hill.
Samuel Bates son of Tobyas must be Samuel Broadley's godson but I
have found no more about him.
Because of the legacy to Ester Eastwood, it must be Samuel's brother
James who married her in 20th July 1617
