Hi Vicki, Lorraine
I am trying to discover some family history. In particular I am interested in the relationship of William Birks Broadhead (Theatre Proprietor) to the Broadhead family. I know he had died by 1928 when his son William Henry Broadhead (Theatre Manager) b 1901 was married to Betty Hodgkinson in Whalley Range south Manchester. I have the marriage certificate. The wedding was witnessed by Roy Broadhead and Percy B Broadhead.

Any background would be very helpful.

Thanks
