Yes there is a connection!
Henry Dan Broadhead born 1889 was the son of Henry Broadhead (born 7th Dec 1856) and Maggie Scott (born 1862). They were married 1889.
Henry Broadhead was the brother of John Broadhead (my great grandfather)
He was one of five children
John Broadhead
Henry Broadhead
William Broadhead
Robert Gilchrist Broadhead
Margaret Broadhead
Their parents were Daniel Broadhead (1824 - 1885) and Margaret Chalmers (1821 - 1888)
Actually it was Frank Broadhead, son of John Broadhead who left Scotland and went to New Zealand then Hawaii then San Francisco.
This all makes sense as there was a story that Frank stayed in New Zealand with relatives. Frank Broadhead and Henry Dan Broadhead were cousins.
John Broadhead's grand daughter Mary Marshall Frame lives in Glasgow and we visited her two weeks ago to celebrate her 90th birthday. She is in good health and has been giving me a wealth of family stories. Amazingly, there has been a lot of truth in each story.
On the same day as we (my husband and I) visited Glasgow, we went to Carluke in Scotland where John Broadhead spent the latter part of his life. We found his cottage - Primrose Cottage still in good condition!
Now what relation is Peter Broadhead and what country are you in?
Also how many other relatives are in New Zealand?
PS - I have lots more details about the Broadheads
