George Broomfield, Murderer

[kiterunner]

Wasn't expecting that occupation! Nor the wife and daughter!

Not sure whether Amelia is the Amelia Elizabeth Bloomfield born Jan-Mar 1884 Islington, MMN Wren? Not the right district for Camberwell though.

Edit- no, we can rule her out as she appears on the 1891 census with parents Thomas and Mary.

But here is a school record for "your" Amelia:

Date of birth 12 Aug 1884, though the dobs on those school records aren't always very accurate.

This looks to be Amelia and her mother in 1901:

60 Park Road, Bromley
Annie Broomfield Head Wid 40 Housekeeper Hants South Wanborough
Amelia Do Daur S 16 London Hatcham
and a couple of boarders.

So I suspect this is the new Ann(e) in 1861 and that she is the executor of George's will and that they didn't marry:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...=successSource

South Warnborough, Hants
Daniel Simpson Head Mar 40 Ag Lab Hants S Warnboro
Eliza Do Wife 36 Do Ripley
Sarah Do Daur 6 Scholar Do S Warnboro
John Son 4 Do Do Do
Ann Do Daur 3 months Do Do
James Simpson Lodger Widower 57 Ag Lab Do Shinfield.

I assume these people are somehow related to the first Ann?

There is an illegitimate Marguerita or Marguerite Simpson birth registered Jul-Sep 1884 Camberwell, possible for Amelia.
