Lincolnshire Brokets

The very first record of Brokets anywhere comes from 1207 Lincolnshire—from Stixwould, c 5 m from Horncastle. Two further records are found from Stickney, some 10 m SE, during the next 190 years—1277 and 1396—of men who could well have been descendants, either direct or collateral. Then in 1430 another probable relative was recorded followed by an unrelated Yorkshireman in 1432. During the 16th C two or more relatives of a clan from Northumberland are recorded. They were possibly descendants of the 13th and 14th C Lincolnshire Brokets, who therefore may have been in service to the Percys. The mid-to-late 16th C scatter of families in half a dozen nearby parishes within a day’s journey of each other in the Horncastle area probably descended from them. Some 17th and/ or 18th C Brokets may have been immigrants to Lincolnshire, moving into the fenlands or ports for work. All records from the 17th C are of families or individuals rather than continuing lines, and between 1807-77 there was only one record in the whole large county. Then in the late 19th C two brothers with Befordshire origins came in for work and their descendants developed into a clan that has stayed through till today.

1. 13th Century

Crespin and Osbert Brochet were pledges in court in Stixwould 1207. Although it is likely, they did not necessarily reside there, nor even in Lincolnshire. Another pledge was ‘of Hardwic’, 6 miles W of Lincoln. The subsidy returns for Stixwold 1200-1400 in the TNA record no Brokets.1

Then James Broket was recorded holding land in Stickney in 1277. His rent was paid to the Cistercian Abbey of Revesby. The John Broket, recorded in Stickney 120 years later in a dispute with the Abbot of Revesby was most probably related.

2. 14th Century

John Broket was recorded in Stickney in 1396 in a dispute with the Abbot of Revesby. He was most probably related to James who had been recorded holding land in Stickney in 1277.

3. 15th Century

3.1. Isabella Broket 1415

In Trinity 1415 Isabella, wife of John Broket of Stiknay, with Johanna their daughter attempted to bring to court a group of people who had allegedly threatened their tenants, caused them to flee, and so deprived Isabella and Johanna of the rent and services from the property:2+Read more

3.2. Johanna Broket 1430

Johanna Broket made two pleas in 1430 against individuals from Tattershall and Stickney in Lincolnshire to the court of Common Pleas at Westminster for Easter term in the 8th year of the reign of Henry VI. It was the fourth time Johanna had brought both pleas and the court ordered the sheriffs at Bristol to take the defendants and bring them to court on 18 Jun 1430. That the pleas relate to people from Tattershall and Stickney—small villages only 8 miles apart—suggest that Johanna was related to the earlier Brokets of Stickney, James 1277 and John 1396, and the later William of Tattershall, who died 1567. According to Johanna:

1. Katherine Leverik, late of Tatershall, Widow, owed her 66s 8d.
2. William Totell, Clerk, and Richard Walles, Husbandman, both of Stickney, had forcibly taken away a box of documents that belonged to her:3+Read more


The theft of her deed box clearly happened in Bristol, but why it and/or she was there is not known. The fact that the plea regarding Katherine Leverik was also directed to the sheriffs of Bristol suggest that Johanna was living there by 1430. The efforts of the Bristol sheriffs to find and take the Lincolnshire defendants were clearly going to be fruitless, so perhaps Johanna deliberately wanted to make it difficult for the defendants to defend themselves and let the case run through to an outlawry.4

3.3. Robert Broket 1431-41

1431: 4 Jul Westminster. Robert Brokette of Legh by Gaynesburgh, co. Lincoln, ‘chapman,’ for not appearing before the same [the justices of the Bench] to answer John Topclyf touching a plea of account. York.5

Robert Broket collected taxes on cloth and fees for its inspection in the Lyndesey area in the 1430s and 40s, delivering them twice a year to the Exchequer in Westminster:+Read more


In all likelihood Robert was a member of the Yorkshire Broket Grouping:

  • The textile trade was at the centre of England’s economy in the late medieval age and York was a centre for manufacture. Raw wool was also exported and woven up into cloth in Flanders, some of it being reimported back to England.8
  • Mainpernors stood surety and were legally responsible for the fulfilment of the contract by the principal, so they knew each other well. Robert’s mainpernors were both from Yorkshire, while his successor’s were from London.9 Moreover, one of them—John Cerf—was both a mainpernor of Thomas Broket, Remembrancer in Westminster and his successor as Remembrancer from 1435-44,10 and the other—John Holme—was a mainpernor of William Broket of York.   Read more
  • Robert’s two grants were issued from the Exchequer: the first during Thomas’ time as Remembrancer, the second during John Cerf’s.
  • Lindsey was a Percy tenancy in chief.11 Nonetheless, Robert did not necessarily reside there.

In light of all this, Robert was very likely Robert Broket junior, Draper, son of Robert, the Draper of York City, who died 1429, and a cousin of Thomas, Remembrancer. He didn’t necessarily live in Lincolnshire—records of sons of a merchant would be expected, but no Brokets are recorded in the county again till the Northumberland clan a century later. It was probably this Robert Broket—rather than his probable father—who was recorded “of Whetlay Nottinghamshire Draper” in 1420, see the separate page.

1432: In the Easter term Robert Broket of Gaynesburgh made a plea at the court of Common Pleas at Westminster by his attorney for a fourth day to recover an alleged debt of 40s each from Thomas Boton of Gaynesburgh baxter, William Kirkeby of Gaynesburgh wever, John Morton of Kexby husbondman, John Skynner of Gaynesburgh, Henry Bocher of Gaynesburgh bocher and John Ulyer of Morton yoman, all in the county of Lincolnshire. The sheriff ordered the defendants to appear in court 29 June 1432.12

Comment: The Court of Common Pleas, rather than local courts, dealt with debts of over 40s. Gainsborough is a market town in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire c 5 miles NE of Wheatley and c 10 miles NE of Retford, where Robert Broket of of Whetlay and William of Retford were recorded in 1420 and 1416 respectively, as mentioned above.

4. 16th Century

Bequests from 2 well-to-do London brothers in the 1530s show several Brokets living in Lincolnshire. The London brothers were from Northumberland, but these bequests and the earlier Linconshire records suggest that they—or more likely their father—came from Lincolnshire. The Northumberland outpost was probably a Percy one and the Percys held minor manors in Lincolnshire within a morning’s walk of Bolingbroke and Toynton—Slothby, Claxby, Burwell and Calceby.13

Some other Brokets were recorded later on in the century but are not found in Parish Registers:

  1. Thomas of High Toynton
  2. John of Bolingbroke
  3. William of Tattershall d 1557
  4. Johnne of Woodenderby
  5. Patience and sisters of Fiskerton

4.1. Thomas in High Toynton near Horncastle

William Broket, Citizen and Goldsmith of London, left Thomas £10 in his Will, proved 1536:

“Also I geve and bequethe vnto Thomas Brokett dwelling in Over Taynton in Lincolneshire besides Horne Castell x li”14

Thomas was of the same generation as William Broket Citizen and Goldsmith of London, and may have died before Parish Registers began. But some of the Brokets recorded later in parishes nearby may have been his descendants. The Toyntons are small villages c 2 m E of Horncastle. The spelling ‘Taynton’ will have been a London court copyist’s mistranscription. High Toynton registers don’t survive before 1715 but BTs do from 1561. Low Toynton’s registers survive from 1557 (bur), 1585 (bap, mar) and BTs from 1561.

4.2. John living near Bolingbroke

Robert Brockett, Citizen and Baker of London, left John £5 in his Will, proved 1531:

“Item I giue & bequeth to my cousene John Brocket my brothers sone dwelling beside bullingbroke in lyncolneshire in money v li”

John may well have been buried in Moorby in 1581. Moorby is only a couple of miles from Bolingbroke.

4.3. William Brocket d 1567

William Brocket of Tattershall (c 9 m SW of Bolingbroke and Toynton) would in all likelihood have been a relative of the preceding Thomas and John, perhaps a son of Thomas. Letters of Administration were granted to his widow Margaret Brockett (and John Bones of the same place and (Alexander) Sheryf of Bail of Lincoln) on 24 Jun 156715 and an inventory survives from 15 Jan 1566/7 totalling £9 16d:+Read more


Tattershall Registers survive only from 2 years after William’s death—1568 (bap, mar, bur)—but the BTs survive from 1561.

For contemporary namesakes, see the separate page.

4.4. Johnne d 1590

In his Will, written 28 Feb 1590, proved Lincoln 14 May 159116 “Johnne Brocket of Woodenderby in the Countie of Lincolnshire laborer” bequeathed his body to be buried in Woodenderby churchyard and his estate to his wife Alice, sole executrix. Wood Enderby is c 5 m W of Bolingbroke, S of Toynton and NE of Tattershall. Its Registers survive from 1561 (bap, bur), 1563 (mar) and BTs from 1561. Was Johnne a son of Thomas?

4.5. Patience d 1593

Patience Brocket of Fiskerton (15 or 16 m W of Bolingbroke and Toynton and NW of Tattershall) died in 1593 when administration of her goods was given to her sisters Elizabeth Eayton and Ellen Wood (both alias Brocket).17 Unrecorded in Parish Registers, they were probably daughters of Thomas, John, William or Johnne, perhaps grandaughters. Fiskerton registers survive from 1539 (bap, mar, bur) and BTs from 1599, but the IGI does not record any of the 3 sisters.

5. Parish Registers

More records of Lincolnshire Brokets emerge with the start of Lincolnshire Parish Registers. Current indications are of a single Broket clan. It is probable that most—if not all—of these families descended from the early 16th Bolingbroke or Toynton Brokets. Records in parishes where the IGI recorded Brokets before 1700 date no later than the 1560s—whether registers or BTs—yet only Moorby recorded Brokets before 1590.

Over the next 170 years there were only about a dozen one-generation families recorded in as many parishes, all within c 34 miles of each other. In the majority of parishes no marriages were recorded, suggesting migration for work. Conditions in the fenlands were poor and the few children surviving to adulthood probably mostly left. Only in Mareham Le Fen was there definitely a line of more than 2 generations in this period, headed by a married couple of local gentry status.

5.1. Moorby (1st Broket record: 1563. Date registers survive from: 1561 (bap, mar, bur); BTs 1562)

The earliest parish records of Lincolnshire Brokets come from Moorby in the 1560s. Moorby is only a couple of miles from Bolingbroke, and the John Brocket “dwelling beside bullingbroke” in 1531 may well have been the John buried here in Moorby in 1581. Bolingbroke registers survive from 1538 (bur), 1559 (mar) and 1561 (bap), but the IGI records no Brokets there before 1670.


“1605 Ric’d Brockett maried Clare bellabye the xvijth of Aprill … Mathew the sonne of Ric’d Brockett baptis xxvth of May”.18
1607: “Clare wife to Ric’d brockett buried 25 of August”.19
Mathew was probably the Mathew buried a couple of miles further south in Mareham Le Fen in 1678, see below.

5.2. Boston (1st Broket record: 1590. Date registers survive from: 1564 (bap, mar), 1559 (bur); BTs 1561)

1. 1560s-1630s

The origin of the head of this family can only be guessed at. The Parish Register recorded the baptisms of 5 of John’s children—simply as son or daughter of John. ‘Nicholas son of John’ was added in the margin by another hand beside the 1593 baptism of John. Ellinore’s name, John’s occupation and death in 1630, and Nicholas’ alias and occupation all come from a suit dated 164820 in which Nicholas aka John Brockett of Shadwell and Stepney Heath, Middlesex, Ropemaker, eldest son of John of Boston, Brewer, d 1630 and Ellinore brought a claim re property in White Horse Lane, Boston against John Dawson of Boston, Tanner, formerly of Ratcliff. Nicholas had been away in Bermoudas. In the 1630s Nicholas had an interest in a ship which transported cargo to Virginia. For some reason by 1648 he was also using the name John.

2. 1690s-?1807

This second Boston family did not descend from the first. William was a son of John and Isabell WRIGHT of Mareham Le Fen, as shown by his Will in which he mentioned his brother Richard ‘of Mareham Le Fen’ and children.21 He left his estate to his wife Penellipp, sole executrix, and £100 each to minor children William and Penellipp, who were therefore alive—and presumably in Boston—in 1735. Son William was probably the Boston Merchant who died 1807 without issue, and was three times Mayor of Boston during George III’s reign: in 1782 and twice in 1797.22 Children Richard and Mary, not mentioned in the Will, presumably died young.

5.3. Cowbit (1st Broket record: 1593. Date registers survive from: 1595 (bap, mar, bur); BTs 1561)

Although nothing further is known of the earlier Cowbit Brokets baptised 1593-1616,23 they would have been unconnected with the Bartholomew son of Bartholomew and Katherine ‘Brockit’—probably Brockey—bap 1679. Five Brockey wills survive from Cowbit 1674-1705, the last that of Bartholomew Brockey Husbandman.24 In it he mentioned wife Catherine and children Bartholomew, Thomas and Catherine. There is no doubt from the will that he and his family were Brockeys and therefore that the Bartholomew ‘Brockit’ bap 1679 son of [the same] Bartholomew and Katherine was actually also a Brockey. This single entry was perhaps a slip of the curate’s pen.

5.4. Claypole (1st Broket record: 1593. Date registers survive from: 1538 (bap, mar), 1593 (bur); BTs 1562)

Claypole and Bassingham are c 7 m apart from each other. The IGI recorded an isolated Broket baptism in each of these 2 parishes. It’s probable that the father Edward Broket was the same in both:

5.5. Bassingham (1st Broket record: 1604. Date registers survive from: 1572 (bap, bur), 1573 (mar); BTs 1562)

Bassingham and Claypole are c 7 m apart from each other. The IGI recorded an isolated Broket baptism in each of these 2 parishes. It’s probable that the father Edward Broket was the same in both:

        b 1604
 
 

5.6. Quadring (1st Broket record: 1608. Date registers survive from: 1583 (bap, mar, bur); BTs 1565)

Two erroneous baptisms were recorded in Quadring in 1608 and 1614. They were the only Broket entries in the entire Registers and BTs, and both were in all likelihood Brokups. Two miles away in Donnington-in-Holland a clan of that name was recorded regularly 1575-1629—variously spelt Brakoup, Brocuppe, Brockap, Brockeup, Brockop, Brockup, Brockupe and Brokup. A William was baptised there 1575 but not recorded again. He appears to have moved to Quadring, where between 1609-16 William Brocup or Brockup had 5 children baptised—the only Brokups recorded in Quadring. He probably also had a son John baptised there in 1608, but the surname was written wrongly in the Register—and later reproduced in the BT. Instead of Brokup, the entry for Nov 29 reads ‘John sonne of William Broket‘.

A second error in the Register—perhaps the curate was not always careful—occurred with the baptism on 13 Mar 1613/4 of Thomas son of ‘Thomas’ Brocup. Here the first name of the father—which should have been William—appears to have been a dittography either of the son or of the previous entry, where the father was a Thomas. To compound the errors, the surname when copied to the BT was transcribed ‘Brocket’. The IGI here reproduced the BT and therefore recorded the baptism as of Thomas son of Thomas Brocket.

5.7. Kirkby On Bain (1st Broket record: 1634. Date registers survive from: 1562 (bap, mar, bur); BTs 1561)

The IGI recorded the baptism here of Mary daughter of Francis and Chatherin Brockit 17 Dec 1634. It is c 3 m W of Mareham Le Fen, where Francis and Katherine had married 13 days beforehand. Mary may have emigrated to Virginia in 1652, see the separate page.

5.8. Old Bolingbroke (1st Broket record: 1670. Date registers survive from: 1561 (bap), 1559 (mar), 1538 (bur); BTs 1562)

Richard was probably son of Francis and Katherine of Mareham Le Fen. James may have been convicted of fraud in 1699.

5.9. Mareham Le Fen (1st Broket record: 1672. Date registers survive from: 1558 (bap, mar), 1561 (bur); BTs to 1812 lost)

No records of a generation beyond that of Joseph b 1719 suggest that the clan died out in the male line in Mareham with him.

The clan was headed by Francis, who in the 1650s lived in a house called Mareham Moor and styled himself ‘Gent’.25 There is no need to look for his ancestry among the landed Hertfordshire Brokets—there are no land records independently verifying his status and ‘Gent’ here probably meant a retired yeoman living off leases of his land. Mareham Le Fen was within a few miles of the villages where Brokets were in the previous century and Francis probably descended from them. He mentioned his wife and 5 children and appointed as overseers “my loving cosen Mr Lawrence Boston of Tointon and my kinde Brother in law Mr William Tingrome of Spilsby”, each to receive 12d for their pains to buy them gloves. No probate details survive, but an inventory was made 2 Aug 1658, in which his purse and apparell were valued at £1 10s with goods in the hall, parlour, chamber, little house and outdoors in the yard, sum total £22 10s 4d. Compare the inventory of gentleman John of Grimston—c 50 m away—d 1663 valued at £683 17s.

The next head was Francis’ son John, a mercer and churchwarden 1693-4. The Parish Register records his contribution to various good causes, such as 6d in 1681 “towards relief of persecuted Protestants in France”, and 4d in 1683 “towards the fire in London Whitechapel that destroyed about 1500 houses and contents”.

John was also a witness to the Will of ‘Batcheller’ Matthew, perhaps his uncle. Written 12 Nov 1694, proved Lincoln 21 Nov,26 the will mentioned Matthew’s kinswoman Mary SELBY, daughter of George SELBY, and his executors were his brother in law Roger CAMELL and his daughter Ann. A Mary Brocket had married George SELBY 4 Sep 1683. It is not clear if she was daughter of Francis.

Was Joane, daughter of Mathewe and Alice the Jane who was transported to Virginia in 1655?

Three Mareham Le Fen Register entries are not on the chart above:

“Mathew Brocket was buried Nou. 28” [1678].27
“Eliz: Brocket buried July 15” [1691] and “Isabel Brocket buried Sept 11” [1692].28
Isabel bur 1691.

The Mathew buried in 1678 was probably the Mathew baptised a couple of miles further north in Moorby in 1605, see above.

After Joseph son of John and Isabell d 1721, Martha married Christopher SMITH 2 May 1724 and had issue. Christopher was buried 24 Aug 1737 and she married thirdly Richard KEAL 28 Nov 1738, all at Mareham Le Fen.

5.10. Martin (Lindsey) (1st Broket record: 1699. Date registers survive from: 1561 (bap, mar, bur); BTs 1561)

Martin is in Lindsey, c 2 m S of Horncastle. The IGI recorded the marriage of John to Susannah FISH here in 1699, and the baptism of a Susana FISH 6 Mar 1669 in Wilksby, c 3 m SE of Martin. Was John son of Richard, bap Bolingbroke 1682?

5.11. Long Sutton (1st Broket record: 1729. Date registers survive from: 1669 (bap, bur), 1670 (mar); BTs 1561)

The IGI recorded the marriage of William BROCKET and Elizabeth MARITT here 30 Nov 1729, and then the baptism of John son of William and Elizabeth BROCKITT 2 Dec 1730.

No records of Brokets in Lincolnshire have been found 1738-1807.

6. 19-20th Centuries

21 Feb 1807 William Brockett of Boston, Merchant signed his Will.29 He apparently had no wife nor issue. He was probably son of the 2nd Boston family and three times Mayor of Boston.

There was an isolated marriage on 15 May 1828 between Edward Brockitt and Eleanor FARMER in Hougham, c 16 m S of Lincoln and 16 m E of Nottingham.30 This was Eleanor’s parish—she was baptised there 18 Jan 180531—but they weren’t recorded there again.

The 1841 census recorded the family of Agricultural Labourer George Brockit [possibly Brockil] in Sotby, a village c 7 m NW of Horncastle and c 15 m E of Lincoln; all born in the County—none of the family apparently appearing in the GRO from 1837 or other censuses:

The 1861 and 71 censuses recorded no Brokets in Lincolnshire.

There is no record in the GRO of the IGI patron-submitted marriage between Anne and John William SQUIRES 15 Jan 1871 Osbournby, c 4 m S of Sleaford. Was Anne a relative of brothers Samuel and William?

Otherwise from 1837 there was not a single Broket birth, marriage or death recorded in Lincolnshire until 1877, once brothers Samuel and William from Huntingdonshire—descendants from the Bedfordshire Grouping—had set up a brick and tile making business in Scredington, c 4 m SE of Sleaford. The 1881 census shows only their two Brockett families in Lincolnshire. The children began to marry there c 20 years later.

Births, Marriages and Deaths in Lincolnshire 1837-1954:32    Read more


The 1901 census recorded 6 of Samuel’s family and 2 of William’s working at the Brick and Tile Works. After about 50 years in business at Station Brickyard, Scredington, when 2 of Samuel’s sons—Francis Samuel and Walter—were joint owners, the Works were declared bankrupt.33 There are differing accounts of why it ended, but it was probably a casualty of the economic climate in which Britain was still recovering from the effects of the First World War in the lead up to the Great Depression of 1929-33. Some say the business ended because of a rift in the family with one branch changing the spelling of their name to two tts, but during the 19th and 20th C the t or tt spellings had been interchangeable. For instance, William was Brockett in his birth certificate 1845 and the 1881 census, and Brocket in his marriage certificate 1866, and Albert Edwin’s birth was registered as Brockett 1882, but his marriage in 1911 and death in 1940 were as Brocket.

A Memorandum of Association of 28 Sep 1926 with no Brocketts as Directors shows that the business became a Limited Company ‘Brockett Brick and Tile Co. Ltd.’, but it too was declared bankrupt 19 Jan 1934.34

6.1. Samuel 1844-1906 and Frances Elizabeth RAWLINGS35

Born 21 Jan 1844 in Stoneley, a hamlet of Kimbolton in Huntingdonshire,36 2nd son of John and Eliza INCH. He married Frances Elizabeth RAWLINGS 15 Oct 1866 in Covington, Hunts,37 where she had been baptised c 1845. Sometimes her name was spelt Francis, as in her death record: 1917 Sleaford aged 71.38

Samuel and brother William married on the same day, each in the parish of their brides—Samuel in Covington about 4 miles NW of Kimbolton, William in Hail Weston about 6 miles SE of Kimbolton. Was one wedding in the morning and the other in the afternoon?

Samuel’s occupations:

  1. 1866 Labourer, residing Kimbolton
  2. 1867 Farm Laborer, residing Kimbolton39
  3. 1871 Agricultural Labourer, residing Stonely Rd, Kimbolton; Frances Lace Maker
  4. 1881 Brick and Tile Maker, residing Burton Pedwardine
  5. 1901 Farmer Brick Maker, residing Scredington, Lincs Kesteven.
