BROOME (WILLIAM), bookseller in London, 1577-91. There is no entry of his apprenticeship or freedom in the Registers of the Company of Stationers, those events probably being recorded in the missing volume which covers from 1571-6. He is found taking an apprentice on December 6th, 1585, but his first book entry occurs in the Registers on July 1st, 1577 [Arber, ii. 314]. In 1582 he is found holding a share with Thomas Chard { CHARD, Thomas ‹ LBT 08600 › }, Henry Denham { DENHAM, Henry ‹ LBT 08578 › }, and Andrew Maunsell { MAUNSELL, Andrew ‹ LBT 00132 › }, in The Common Places of Peter Martyr [Arber, ii. 411]. In 1585 he was associated with Thomas Man { MAN, Thomas ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 07630 › } in publishing Seneca's Tragedies [Arber, ii. 444]. He was dead by October 4th, 1591, as on that date" Mistress Broome" { BROOME, Joan ( - 1601) ‹ LBT 03228 › } described as "Wydowe late wife of William Brome" is found entering books [Arber, ii. 596].
