Yesterday I stumbled across the broughton Family tree on your site. I am the grandaughter of William Broughton born Aug 6 1895, West Hartlepool. He grew up believing Geroge Royal was his natural father until he was an adult. He assumed teh name Royal although I do not believe there was ever a legal adoption.
His mother Honora had been in service at the time he was conceived to my understanding. I can provide you with information on the next 4 generations if you are interested. William Royal (Broughton) was very involved in the community of St. Vital in Winnipeg Maintoba. Their 3 children are all still alive. My father was the oldest and only son, will be 89 this year. He cpi;d tell you many stories if there is any interest.
My name is Laurie Ann Hilton (nee Royal) I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta ,Canada
I am sendingthis email from my company email address where i am all weekdays. A home email is dghilton@shaw.ca
This has been a huge surpirse to me to find so much information on my ancestry. I am grateful you posted this information.

Welcome to OGFB site Laurie, hope you find what you're look for with the Broughton family tree. We have a Broughton on here. Enjoy. Hope there is good weather in Canada. I was recently talking to three Mormons from Canada. They came into the post office / cafe at Downham near Pendle Hill. Ray.
