Deaths of young children were very common in Victorian times. Henry Fowler Broadwood, her father, is presumably the son of James Broadwood, a Scot who went to London and became the inventor of the modern piano. H F Broadwood joined the business in 1836 and made further improvements to the design, resulting in the rather fine modern (1930s) upright in our front room. If only I could play it better. |
