Broughs of Staffordshire, England

Notes


Robert Burgh

The will of Robert Burgh was dated 3 May 1547 and probated on 14 May 1548 (see FHL Film # 95303). Inventory of the will was made on 18 July 1547--meaning that Robert Burgh was deceased by then. The will of Robert Burgh is also mentioned and detailed by David Bethell in his Bethell's Research Reports to the RBFO, page 52-53, 55-56.

In the book "A List of Families in the Archdeaconry of Stafford, 1532-3" (FHL book # 942.46, B4sc, Ser.4, V.8), page 30, Robert Burgh's family is listed as: "Robert Burghe, Joan, uxor eius, Joan, Ellen, Elizabeth, Thomas, William, Edward, Joan, Richard." Catharine Ann Brough Hind also refers to this information in her Hind Research Reports, pp.226 and 232, and quotes the will of Robert Burgh, dated 13 May 1547, which lists the names of four of Robert's sons: Edmund, Thomas, William, and Richard Burgh.


Joan

Robert does not mention Joan in his will of 13 May 1547, possibly because she is deceased at the time he made his will.


William Burgh

William Burgh is mentioned in the 1547 will of his father, Robert Burgh. In the past, there have been suggestions that this William Burgh may have been the William that married Joan and/or Margaret and who left a will in 1553 naming his wife Margaret, and his children William, John, Richard, and Margaret. However, it now appears more likely that William Burgh who married Joan and/or Margaret was actually the son of Richard de Burgh (b. abt. 1450) and Alice.


Richard Burgh

Richard Burgh is mentioned in--and therefore alive--in the will of his brother Edmund Burgh dated 8 September 1569 and probated 31 October 1570 (see FHL Film # 95309).


Robert Burgh

Ann Hind states in her Hind Research Reports, page 235, that "Robert [in his will of 13 May 1547]...left for Edmund a grey gelding, and to Thomas a neat and a lamb. Whether these elder sons were away performing military service or studying we know not, nor whether there are younger ones, although Thomas will speak in his will [of 8 June 1569] of 'Robert Brughe my brother' and 'Robert of Bromfwort'...."


Reginald de Burgh

Information that supports the individuals, dates, places and relationships on this Family Group Record was obtained from research reports send to the RBFO during 1977 to 1989 by David Bethell, a professional genealogist living in Leek, Staffordshire, England.

More information on the early Broughs of Staffordshire can be found in the RBFO book "The Broughs of Staffordshire, England, and their English, American and Australian Descendants," July 2000, pages 7-44.

Research Note: On January 2002, Catharine Ann Brough Hind wrote the following comment to the RBFO: "To the 1532 Bede Roll: Parts of the fabric of it are decayed; famly names missing alongside lists of Christian names. How fortunate we are that so many Broughs still shew. I ponder how it is that in a family so resolute in its use of patronyms we have no such habit for Reginald and only one grandchild named Reyne...who is however not on [the family group record of Thomas Burgh, born 1480, died 1550]. Is this because he (or she) is not named in Thomas's...will [of] 1550?"
