Broomhild Brownlock (T.A. 2879-2902) was a young hobbit who lived in the Shire and would become a member of the Brownlock clan after she married a young hobbit man. She was also the mother of Gilly Brownlock, which made her the grandmother of Ponto, Porto, and Peony Baggins. Considered to be warn-hearted, Broomhild had spent her time looking after Bilbo and often tell him stories. Years later after marrying a fellow member of the Brownlock clan, she died in childbirth, leaving her husband a widower and daughter motherless.
