My cousin Joan sent me a copy of the 1871 census, and there was Joseph Broome b. 1811 living with his brother John. Now Joseph died in 1862 according to all the research I have done, so how is this possible. I looked at the census again to where his wife Alice was and the children, and she was down as a widow.
Curioser and curiouser says Alice (quote from Alice in Wonderland) - so what do I do. Luckily a medium friend of mine was online so I emailed and asked. I haven't got the full story yet, Joseph didn't fake his death, he did die in 1862, his wife was a widow, but why was his brother using his name on the census.
Watch this space, all will be revealed.
