Genealogical information on the multiple wives, children and families of Charles Law was obtained from the IGI and the LDS Ancestral File and LDS Ordinance Index.
Research Note: In June 2007, Jean Ohai (3767 Hillside Lane, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84109) provided the RBFO with the following information: "When Emma [Bocock] was only 15 [years old, in 1859, she married] her brother-in-law Charles Law [who had previously married Emma's two older sisters: Hannah Bocock in 1857, and Elizabeth Bocock in 1858].... [The marriage of Emma Bocock and Charles Law] was performed [on 12 March 1859] by George A. Smith at the home of Bishop Aaron Johnson of Springville [Utah] and it is recorded in the book of temple sealings, FHL [Film #] 1,149,514, p 334, item no. 2235. Witnesses: John Berry and Aaron Johnson. [Two years later,] Charles Law took his three wives to the Endowment House [in Salt Lake City, on] 31 Aug 1861, where they were all endowed and the Bocock sisters were sealed to him as wives by D.H. Wells, FHL [Film #] 1,149,514, p 550, item no. 3753. After Charles' death a year later [on 20 September 1862], Emma -- along with her [two older] sisters [Hannah and Elizabeth]--sought a cancellation of her sealing to [Charles] Law. Emma was subsequently sealed during her life to her second husband, Alma Moroni Blanchard. An inquiry to the Genealogical Department brought the reply that it must have been done according to the order of the [LDS] Church, i.e., a cancellation of her sealing to Charles Law. This must have been her wish. The story Aunt Melva Hickenlooper told was that Brigham Young granted cancellations to Emma and Elizabeth, but not to Hannah, on the grounds that Hannah was old enough to know what kind of man she was getting. Hannah, unlike Emma and Elizabeth, was sealed to her second husband only after her death. ... At the insistance of her sister, Elizabeth Bocock Law Weight, Emma was also sealed posthumously to her brother-in-law Frederick Weight [on] 23 Oct 1890 [in the] Logan [Temple]...."

The christening of James Brough is listed in the IGI (via the LDS Extraction Program).
In January 2009, the RBFO received the following email comments from Diane Brough Baxter (DianeB@rucksax.freeserve.co.uk): "From the christening record for William Brough [which christening took place in 1795], I agree that his parents were James Brough and Jane Bowskill. I [feel that] based on circumstancial evidence [ William's father] James was christened in North Wingfield in 1772--evidence based on his age at marriage (in 1794) being 21 and that he later 'returned' to North Wingfield for a while where one of his daughters died and another was born. North Wingfield is just 10 miles from Mansfield...."
Geographical Note: The travel distance between North Wingfield--where James Brough was christened, and Mansfield--where Jane Bowskill was christened (and James Brough and Jane Bowskill were married), is about ten miles.

They had children in Portsmouth and Chatham (Navel towns) before moving back to Mansfield in 1825. These were my ggg-grandparents."
