"John, eldest son of Thomas of Middlehulme, was born c. 1508 and succeeded there as "a leaseholder of land" as did Thomas, born to John and his wife Johanne, c. 1538. In 1574, Thomas and his widowed mother agreed with John Cooke of Tottesmore that he pay a dowry of 40 [pounds] for a marriage between Thomas and Ann Cooke. The sons of Thomas and Ann were Lionel and Richard, for both of whom he made provision in a marriage dower for Anne Wilkinson of Cheshire, whose sons were Lionel, Thomas and Martin, born between 1620 and 1640. Middlehulme belonged entirely to the Broughs and was entailed from eldest son to eldest son...."In August-September 2000, Catharine Ann Brough Hind of England informed the RBFO that documents in her possession indicated that Thomas Burgh "died after 1618." (RBFO Hind Research Reports, pages 448-456.)
Ann Cooke/Cockeld is listed by Catharine Ann Brough Hind of England in the 2000 RBFO book "The Broughs of Staffordshire, England and their English, American and Australian Descendants" on pages 53-54.

110. John Burgh (Broughe, Brough)
Research Note: Family traditions and patronymical patterns suggests that John Burgh may have been born about 1567 in Staffordshire or Derbyshire, England. The RBFO is currently conducting research into this matter.

Earlier LDS Ordinance work is mistakenly correlated to Thomas Brough, born about 1563.
106. Ralph (Raphe) Burgh
The father of Ralph (Raphe) Burgh was apparently Thomas Burgh (Broughe). Ralph is mentioned in his father's Will. The Will of Thomas Burgh (Broughe) was dated 8 June 1569 and probated on 7 April 1570 (see FHL Film # 95309. Catharine Ann Brough Hind also mentions this Will in her Hind Research Reports, pages 234, 476). According to the Will (and the way names were spelled in the Will), "Thomas Broughe" of "Water House" within the "Parish of Leek" mentioned his wife "Margaret" and four of his children: "Grace", "Robte" [Robert], "Raphe" [Ralph], and "Anthoney" [Anthony]."
The marriage of Rauffe (Ralph) Burgh probably occurred when he was in his late 30's or early 40's. This situation--particularly for men living at this period of time and for those living in and around the Leekfrith--has been explained by Catharine Ann Brough Hind as follows: "Generally, country-men...of farming and business ways of life did not...marry before early middle-age. Many court[ed] for years.... Generally speaking it has to do with property...parents (especially widowed mothers) have to be taken into consideration and/or money has to be saved to buy-out brothers and sisters or to get established in ones own farm or business. ...Girls [today] would never stand for being asked to play second-fiddle and [many do not] care...about the formality of marriage...." [She then mentioned several Brough men who were married at the documented age of: 50, 43, 39 and 38.] (Hind Research Report to the RBFO, page 538, 20 March 2001.)
