Biography

Richard Broad was born in 1817 in Little Retallack, St Columb Major, Cornwall, England to Richard Broad and Mary.

Richard Broad, son of Richard, a farmer, & Mary, residing at Little Retallick St Columb, was christened on 1 Jun 1817 at the Parish Church of St Columba in St Columb Major.[1]

Richard Broad (of full age, Bachelor, Farmer, residing at Talskiddy, son of Richard Broad, Farmer) and Betsey Carveth (of full age, Spinster, residing at Talskiddy, daughter of James Carveth, Farmer) were married on 20 Feb 1849 at the Parish Church of St Columba in St Columb Major - the witnesses were James Dennis & John ?uck?.[2] The marriage was registered in St Columb in the first quarter of the year.[3]

Betsy already had two children out of wedlock:

  1. Eliza (Carveth) Buscombe (1840-1923)
  2. Samuel Broad Carveth (1844-)
  • Both were listed as Richard's children in 1851 and 1861. Richard was almost certainly the father of Samuel (hence why he had Broad as his middle name). He may have been Eliza's father as well but it is uncertain (she went back to using Carveth once she no longer lived in his household, and did not list him as her father when she married).

Richard and Betsy had four more children after they married:

  1. Henry Broad (1849-)
  2. Susan Broad (1851-)
  3. Mary Jane Broad (1854-)
  4. Richard Broad (1860-)

They seem to have also helped raise the illegitimate children of Betsy's daughter Eliza: Kate Carveth (1861-1934) & Thomas Carveth (1863-).

In 1851 Richard Broad (age 33, Farmer of 13 Acres) lived at the Village of Talskiddy in St Columb Major with his wife Betsey (33) and three children: Eliza (10, Scholar), Samuel (6, Scholar) and Henry (1), as well as lodger Samuel Brewer (54, Wool Comber) and visitor Thomas Carveth (29, Malster).[4]

In 1861 Richard Broad (age 41, Ag Lab) lived at Talskiddy Village Pvte Hse in St Columb Major with his wife Betsy (43, Ag Lab's Wife) and five children: Eliza C (21, Ag Lab's Daur), Henry (11), Susan (9), Mary J (7), and Richard (1), as well as lodger Johanna Brewer (55).[5]

In 1871 Richard Broad (age 54, Farmer of 50 Acres) lived at Talskiddy in St Columb Major with his wife Bessey (54, Farmer's Wife), son Richard Jnr (11, Farmer's Son), granddaughter Kate Carver [Carveth] (9, Scholar), grandson Thomas [Carveth] (7, Scholar), and boarder Philippa Hearn (63, Pauper).[6]

In 1881 Richard Broad (age 63, Farmer of 50 Acres) lived at Talskiddy in St Columb Major with his wife Betsy (63), son Richard (21, Farmers Son), and two boarders [grandsons]: Thomas H Carveth (18, Ag Lab) and Samuel Buscumb (5, Scholar).[7]

In 1891 Richard Broad (age 74, Retired Farmer) lived at Talskiddy in St Columb Major with his wife Bessie (74), [great-]granddaughter Emma Bassett (10, Scholar), and [great-]grandson John Bassett (8, Scholar).[8] [Emma & John Bassett were the illegitimate children of Kate Carveth & John Bassett.]

Richard Broad passed away in 1896, aged 79 years - his death was registered in St Columb in the third quarter of the year.[9]

Richard Broad of Talskiddy, aged 79 years, was buried on 29 Sep 1896 in St Columb Major.[10]
