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.)
116. Alicia Boughie
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...."
In the 2000 RBFO book "The Broughs of Staffordshire, England and their English, American and Australian Descendants" page 54, Catharine Ann Brough Hind of England states the following: "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...."
Lionel Burgh's birth and burial dates were originally given in a research report by Catharine Ann Brough Hind to the RBFO in August-September 2000. (Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, pages 448-456.) However, the burial date (of 1643) was subsequently revised by Mrs. Hind in her Hind Research Reports to the RBFO on November 8, 2000, p.467.
Earlier family group record on the family of Lionel Burgh (Brough) and Anne Wilkinson appeared in the 1988 RBFO book, page 46.
Anne Wilkinson is identified as the daughter of "William Wilkinson of Northrode, co. Cestr." in the Pedigree of the Broughs of Leek (by John Sleigh, 1883). See 2000 RBFO book, page 52; or FHL Film # 476966, p.119.
In September 2000, RBFO Genealogists located a William Wilkensoone of Gawsworth, Cheshire, England who had a daughter Anne Wilkensoone christened on 20 February 1597. Further checking revealed that this William Wilkinson was of "Rode" (as stated in "The Registers of the Parish Church of Gawsworth in the County of Chester, 1557-1837" found in the FHL) and that he might be the William Wilkinson who left a will in 1632 or 1648 (since both William Wilkinson's who left wills were stated as being from "North Rode"; see FHL book # 942.7, B4LC, V.4, p.237).
The names and dates found on this family group record comes from the Gawsworth Parish Registers, FHL book # Q/942.71/G1,v26d. A significant amount of this information can also be found in the LDS Ordinance Index via the LDS Extraction Program.
119. Anne Burgh (Brough)
Anne Brough is listec by her brother, Lionel Brough, in his will of 20 June 1649. See Hind Research Report, page 470.
123. Lydia Brough
Genealogical information supplied by Catharine Ann Brough Hind to the RBFO in August-September 2000. (RBFO Research Reports from Ann Hind, pages 448-456--especially page 449.)
124. Martin Brough
Catharine Ann Brough Hind states that "Martin was never married." (See Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 449 and 543.)
125. Elizabeth Brough
Genealogical information supplied by Catharine Ann Brough Hind to the RBFO in August-September 2000. (RBFO Research Reports from Ann Hind, pages 448-456.) Additional information on Elizabeth Brough's christening can be found in the Hind Research Reports, p.470.
The christening of Elizabeth Brough is listed in the Leek Parish Register (and Bethell Report, p.157).
111. Thomas Broughe
Thomas Broughe is listed as the father of John Broughe (chr. 1600) in the Carsington Parish Registers, which can be found on--line via the Internet at: www.dfhs.org/uk/cars/carsmain.htm.
The burial of Elizabeth (Broughe)--which states that she was the "wife" of Thomas Broughe--can be found in the Carsington Parish Registers (1592-1888) which are on-line via the Internet at: www.dfhs.org/uk/cars/carsmain.htm.
Most of the family of Henry and Ellen Broughe (and their christenings and burial dates) can be found in the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program). This family can also be found in the Carsington Parish Registers (1592-1888) which are on-line via the Internet at: www.dfhs.org/uk/cars/carsmain.htm.
According to the Carsington Parish Register (FHLF ilm # 1042095, Items 8-18), Henry Brough was a "labourer" and "miner". In fact, the Carsington Parish Register identifies Henry as a "miner" in the buriel entries of his first two wives, Ellen and Elizabeth.
The burial of Ellen (Broughe) can be found in the Carsington Parish Registers (1592-1888) which are on-line via the Internet at: www.dfhs.org/uk/cars/carsmain.htm.
128. Grace Broughe
The christening of Grace Broughe can be found in the IGI and the LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program). However, the on-line (Internet) version of the Carsington Parish Registers (www.dfhs.org/uk/cars/carsmain.htm) lists Grace Broughe as being christened as "Jane" Broughe--which is wrong when one carefully reviews the christening entry that actually appears in the Carsington Parish Register (see Carsington Parish Register, FHL Film # 1042095, Items 8-18).
Also, according to the Carsington Parish Register, Grace Broughe was buried in 1598, and her father was identified as a "labourer."
130. Millisante (Millicent) Broughe
The christening of Millisante Broughe is listed in the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program), and can also be found in the Carsington Parish Registers (1592-1888) which are on-line via the Internet at: www.dfhs.org/uk/cars/carsmain.htm.
131. Ellen Broughe
The christening of Ellen Broughe is listed in the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program), and can also be found in the Carsington Parish Registers (1592-1888) which are on-line via the Internet at: www.dfhs.org/uk/cars/carsmain.htm.
According to the Carsington Parish Register (FHL Film # 10420-95, Items 8-18), Elizabeth, the wife of Henry Broughe--a "miner" by occupation--was buried in Carsington on August 10, 1609
The christening of Henry Broughe can be found in the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program). Also, it can be found on-line via the Internet at: www.dfhs.org.uk/cars.carsmain.htm.
The burial entry for Henry Broughe can be found in the Carsington Parish Register (FHLF Film # 1042095, Items 8-18), and states that Henry was "a child of three days old" when he died and was buried.
113. Richard Brough
Information for this record was obtained from the 1988 RBFO book, p.66-67, and from information provided to the RBFO between 1995-2000 by Catharine Ann Brough Hind of England.
Estimated birth date of Richard Brough was derived from statements made by Catharine Ann Brough Hind in her Hind Research Reports, p.469.
This Richard Brough is mentioned as a juror in a plea of debt between two other individuals in 1604-1605 as "Ric. Brughe of Wynyattes." Mentioned by Catharine Ann Brough Hind in her Hind Research Reports, p.247, and also found in the book "Collections for a History of Staffordshire," FHL book # 942.46, B4sc, 1940, p.265.
Richard Brough's will was dated 2 May 1637, and probated 20 May 1637. See FHL film # 95335.
Earlier LDS Ordinance work is mistakenly correlated to Richard Brough, supposedly born about 1561.
See also the "Pedigree of the Broughs of Leek" as found in the book "A History of the Ancient Parish of Leek, in Staffordshire: Including Horton, Cheddleton, and Ipstones," by John Sleigh, 1883. FHL Film # 476966, p.119.
BAP: 4 Aug 2001 BOUNT
Information for this record was obtained from the 1988 RBFO book, p.67, and from information provided to the RBFO between 1995-2000 by Catharine Ann Brough Hind of England.
Research Note: The LDS Ordinance Index via the LDS Extraction Program lists a christening for an Anne Wright on 6 March 1575 at Eccleshall, Staffordshire, England. However, no parents are listed for this Anne.
115. Edmund Brough
Edmund Brough and Alice "of Waterhouse," Leek, Staffordshire, are identified in the Leek Parish Register as the parents of at least two children: Elizabeth (chr. 28 October 1634) and Ralph (chr. 7 Oct 1638). See Leek Parish Register, FHL book # 942.46, B4pr, v.13, pages 9 and 25.
Edmund Brough is probably the individual who was buried in Leek on 13 March 1686/1687.
The LDS Ordinance Index contains a listing for Edmund Brough, born "about 1615" in "Waterhouse, Stafford, England." This listing was submitted by Samuel R. Brough--a former LDS missionary to the British Isles during 1886-1890--who apparently identified, estimated, and performed LDS ordinance work for Edmund Brough in the 1920's. This may be the same Edmund Brough as the one that now appears on this family group record.
Birth information obtained from the LDS Ordinance Index, July 2002.
136. Elizabeth Brough
Christening information for Elizabeth Brough was obtained from the Leek Parish Register book, FHL book # 942.46, B4pr, v.13, p.9, and from the LDS Ordinance Index, July 2002.
138. Brough
The original Parish Record of Leek gives no definitive sex for this child, only listing the child as a "fili." Also, the christening date of this child printed in the Leek Parish Register book (FHL book# 942.46, B4pr, v.13) gives an incorrect christening date of 9 Feb 1642/1643. According to the original Parish Register of Leek (FHL film # 1040765) this child was actually christened on 9 Feb 1641/1642. However, previous LDS ordinance work for this child--done in the 1920's--used the incorrect christening date of 1642/1643, and also identified the child as "Mr. Brough." Therefore, for the sake of consistency and LDS ordinance work, this child is listed as a "male" on this family group record.
