Lancashire BMD says that Alexander Broadley married Marian McPherson in 1930. Marian died in 1967 age 66 in Accrington and Alexander Broadley married Grace Rothwell at St John's, Baxenden in 1967. People kept mentioning the Mrs Broadley who taught swimming and I wondered who she was, so many thanks. Now I know! I think Alexander's father was George Edward Broadley who married Margaret Clark.
