He may have been the first Unitarian preacher in North Wales.
His parents were Humphrey and Jane Bromley, of Tre-brys, Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, Denbighshire.
He (like his father) worked as a gardener, but he also ran a school in the Pont Maes Mochnant area.
Although he was originally an Anglican, he became a Unitarian preacher, being supported financially by a Mr Lloyd, a local shopkeeper.
He preached at some of the meetings of the South Wales Unitarian Association which were held annually.
He later immigrated to the US.
