The birth date of Richard Burgh (Brough) was provided by Catharine Ann Brough Hind to the RBFO in August-September 2000. Also, the July 27, 1618 Brough/Wilkinson marriage indenture settlement and the 1668 Chancery Proceedings of Brough vs Brough court case states that this Richard Burgh was a "brother" to Lionel Burgh (who married Anne Wilkinson and whose parents were Thomas Burgh and Anne Cooke). (See Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, pages 69-70.5, 344 and 448-456. The "Chancery Proceedings of Brough vs Brough: 1668" was originally obtained from the Brough Family Archives in Staffordshire by Catharine Ann Brough Hind and sent to the RBFO on 17 May 1986.)
The burial date of Richard Burgh (Brough) can be found in the the Brough Staffordshire Burial Index (in possession of the RBFO, February 2001) which lists a Richard Burgh of New Grange, Leek, who was buried on 19 March 1635/1636. See FHL film # 1040765. However, RBFO Genealogists could not locate any will for this Richard Burgh (Brough) as of March 2001.
The estimated marriage date of Richard Burgh (Brough) has been commented on as follows by Catharine Ann Brough Hind: "I pondered time and again what would be happening back on the Fryth [of Leek] and around M'hlm [Middlehulme or Middle Hulme, Leek] in particular [during the 1600's]. Look again at the marriage indenture drawn up by Thomas [Brough] and William Wilkinson in 1618 [see Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 69,] and reiterated in the 1668 [Chancery Proceedings of] Brough vs Brough [see Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 70.5]...that M'hlme is assigned to Lionel and Anne daughter of William Wilkinson '90 yr reversion to Richard if he so long live; then to the descendants of him and...his wife, or of any subsequent legal wife.' So this eldest son Richard was already provided for. But what, where and when?... Richard of New Grange, interred March 19 [1635/1636] is [a] likely candidate.... In the light of that provision for ninety years I shall look harder for what pertained within the family and the Fryth in 1708. This was a common-enough device, meant to safeguard an estate from loss to the family through failure of heirs dying out. It was however sometimes enforced or followed-up by descendants of descendants. Richard will have had his copy of the deed and his heirs would hold fast to it 'just in case." ...Any descendants of Richard would be acutely aware of that ninety years; for them it was the equivalent of money-in-the-bank...and of course they would have their own triparte copy of what was involved and where. Looking back at the Thomas [Burgh]/Ann Cooke indenture we see that Thomas himself had been bounded to pay to his (unnamed) brothers and sisters sums once assigned to his late brother. It occurs to me that the term is more usually ninety and nine years. Had Richard been provided for nine years earlier and that allowed for? Does this transport us back to a marriage c1609? (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 510, 23 Feb 2001.)
Research Note: Richard Brough (b.abt.1579) may have been the Richard Brough who married a Margrett Walker of Blithfield, Staffordshire, on 20 Sep 1609 (FHL film # 1040829). This Richard Brough and Margrett Walker apparently resided in or visited several different parishes and had at least three additional children in Staffordshire: Ralph Broughe, chr. 8 Oct 1610 in Blithfield (FHL film # 1040829), Thomas Brough, chr. 16 May 1613 in Milwich (see LDS Ordinance Index), and John Broughe, chr. 25 Feb 1616 in Stowe-by-Chartley (see LDS Ordinance Index). At the present time (30 March 2001), RBFO Genealogists are conducting research on this and other possibilities regarding the spouse and children of Richard Brough (b.abt.1579).
Research comments by Catharine Ann Brough Hind to the RBFO (taken from Hind Research Reports to the RBFO):
On 5 August 1992, Catharine Ann Brough Hind informed the RBFO of the following: "Mr. Brown and I have extracted from it [or Brough archives, sources and records held at the Staffordshire Record Office] all the most obvious clues and pointers. It was mostly from this that we try to steer the RBFO towards the Richard Brough, brother of Lionel of Middlehulme ob 1653, and the proposal that he is the same Richard at Calton Moor whose son Robert received a bequest from a kinsman around that time. Further documentation of Richard brother of Lionel is in the Brough vs Brough chantry case [of] 1668." (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 210.)
On 12 June 1993, Catharine Ann Brough Hind informed the RBFO of the following: "Richard son of Thomas Brough of Middlehulme n c1585 [is] named in the marriage settlement of Lionel and Anne c 1630....and again in Brough v Brough 1668." (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 243.)
In early 2000, Catharine Ann Brough Hind informed the RBFO of the following (which was published in the July 2000 RBFO book "The Broughs of Staffordshire, England and their English, American and Australian Descendants" page 54): "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 informed the RBFO of the following: "Quoting from the 1668 [Chancery Proceedings of Brough vs Brough court case, we read that] Richard had 'dependants'.... In the light of wording of similar provisos I think it refers to children born in marriage to Richard...and excludes those 'on the body of any other woman....' [This is] important for the RBFO. This Richard had dependants [or] descendants; he was an ancestor!" (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, pages 70-70.5 and 448-456.)
On 26 February 2001, Catharine Ann Brough Hind informed the RBFO of the following: "Richard Brough of New Grange was buried on March 19 [1635/1636]. New Grange is virtually on M'hlme land and if Lionel senior, son of Thomas, died in 1644 that would dovetail with that of an elder brother a decade before.... (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page.514.)
On 8 March 2001, Catharine Ann Brough Hind informed the RBFO of the following: "Some other thoughts on Richard, elder son of Thomas. Considering whether Richard of New Grange, who died [1635/1636] might be he, and taking [this item] into consideration: 1611, a grant of Fee-Farm to Thomas Brough of Middlehulme to Sir Christopher Hatton of Clayhill Essex. This is surely a farm on the Fryth [in the Leekfrith area] and seems to be other than M'hulme. Could it be New Grange? (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, p.516.)
On 9 April 2001, Catharine Ann Brough Hind informed the RBFO of the following: "One little interesting point: You will remember that Richard Brough died at New Grange [buried 19 March 1635/1636] and that Thomas [Brough] and Margaret (Adams), my ancestors, [had] their first daughter Ruth, baptised [26 November] 1663 ‘of Nether Hulme.' Add to this that I read that New Grange is probably Nether Hulme. Interestingly, within that period the Hulme family and the Mountfords were principal people there." (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 551, 9 April 2001.)
The Kingsley Parish Register states the following: "Apr.15 [1608], Alicia d. of Richardi Boughie" was baptised. (Family History Library book # 942.46, B4pr, Vol.66, page 41.)
Catharine Anne Brough Hind, in her Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 505, dated 24 January 2001, stated: "Alicia Boughie, b.1608, could well be your kinswoman...."

Records of Ipstones Parish lists the christening of Richard Brough on 29 November 1688 as "Richardus, filius Richardi Brough & Margaretae uxoris ejus." (RBFO Research Report by David Bethell, p. 37, which quotes both "ORs and BTs" of "1600 to 1740.")
The following statement was made by Catharine Ann Brough Hind to the RBFO on 24 June 1995: "Richard Brough [who was christened in 1688 in Ipstones, married Ann (Mary) Mellor in 1716 in Leek, and was buried in 1768 in Meerbrook, and who was the great-grandfather of Richard Brough who married Mary Horleston] was baptising children at Meerbrook in the 18thc [or 1700's]. I am confident that it was that Richard who witnessed [in 1754] the Will of my ancestor Isaac Barber, blacksmith and innkeeper of Meerbrook.... William Brough my gt gt gt grandfather was Isaac's son-in-law. This has always prompted me to suppose that Richard was a member of the Middlehulme Broughs." (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 261.)
The christening of Ann Mellor is listed in the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program).
The burial of Ann (or Mary) Mellor is listed in the (British) National Burial Index, 2004 (via the Federation of Family History Societies) as held by the RBFO.
