My grt. Grandmother was Eleanor Broadbridge.She married my grt. Grandfather, Thomas Edwards, in Sittingbourne, Kent, England c. 1869.Eleanor Broadbridge's father had a shop of some kind (the family scuttle is that it was a butcher shop).Thomas and Eleanor and child William (my Grandfather) emigrated to Ohio where, apparently, Thomas had secured a job with a newspaper.Eleanor died in childbirth (family lore again), William was sent back to Edenbridge, Kent, where his father Thomas came from, and Thomas eventually moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and some years later remarried and sent for his son William, in around 1883, when William was 13 years old.
If my Eleanor fits in any way in to your family tree, I would be delighted to hear about it.
