Margaret Broadbent
Newspaper Report - Margaret Broadbent GIRL WITH WANDERLUST
TWELVE YEARS OLD AND MISSING
FOR FIFTH TIME THIS YEAR

For the fifth time this year 12-year-old Margaret Broadbent, of Whitley-street, Bradford, is missing from home.
She has provided a problem for police-court missionaries, and psychologists, but according to a statement by her father, she seems to have inherited from him a spirit of wanderlust.
This time she has been missing from home for days, and although police have combed the city thoroughly they have as yet found no trace of her.
The girl is small for her age, and on previous occasions has been found asleep in dustbins. She is a good girl at school, and above the average intelligence.

(Published in the "News of the World" in May 1937)

Margaret E. Broadbent was born on 06 January 1925 and her parents were John and Louisa Broadbent, nee MacDavid. She lived with her parents at 10, Windmill Hill, Bradford, Yorkshire in 1939.
