Preview:l knew from an early age that my father's BROADBRIDGE family came from Washington in West Sussex and that my great-grandfather, Henry BROADBRIDGE, was a cowman. As a child growing up in the urban surroundings of Richmond and Twickenham. this did not mean much to me.
When I retired in 2004, I started researching the BROADBRIDGE family. By then, I had moved to the Hampshire/West Sussex border which made it easier to visit the West Sussex Record Office and the Washington area itself.
