John Brough

The birth of John Brough is listed as 4 June 1827 in the Utah Death Index and his cemetery record. Also, his birth is listed in a "Family Record" contained in a "New Testament" Family Bible, printed in 1870. Copies of this Family Record are in possession of the NBFO and RBFO.

The christening of John Brough is listed in the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program)--and can be found in the Bishop's Transcript for West Ashby (FHL Film # 421896). Research Note: The christening record for John Brough lists his mother as "Jane."

The LDS Temple Record for John Brough states that he took out his own endowments in the Salt Lake City Endowment House (FHL Film # 183404) on 1 April 1856. According to the endowment record, John stated that his parents were "John and Julia Brough", that he was born on 24 June 1827 in West Ashby, and that he was baptised into the LDS Church in March 1852.

The 1851 British Census lists John Brough as being about 23 years old (born about 1828), and born in West Ashby, who was working at the time of 1851 Census as a "Baker." Also, at the time of the 1851 Census, John Brough was residing with his sister Harriet Brough and brother-in-law James Snarr in Kingston Upon Hull, Yorkshire.

According to the 1900 Census for Utah, John Brough left England and arrived in the United States in 1854. In fact, Raymond Madsen, a professional genealogist living in Utah, stated in 2003 that "John [Brough] was a seaman...[and he, his wife and their first child] departed out of Liverpool 22 February 1854 and arrived at New Orleans 23 April 1854, being on the ocean for three months."

On 7 September 2007, Jessie Spisak, a professional genealogist in Salt Lake City, Utah, wrote the following to the NBFO: "...Concerning the Brough's immigration...[I] found [a company roster] in the Historians Office in Salt Lake City. From the information provided, I was able to verify their arrival in New Orleans on 24 April 1854 via S/S 'Windermere' (Film #543406). There were slight differences in the spelling of the ship ('Windemere' was recorded in company roster), as well as in the spelling of Mary's name (recorded as 'May' in the New Orleans Immigration Index). Nevertheless, I am convinced that the published company roster...is correct. The ages of John, Mary, and Thomas correspond with all three of their birth years and the arrival date of 1854 as recorded on the 1900 Utah census."

The 1860 Census for Utah lists John Brough is as being about 33 years old (born about 1827), working as a "Far[mer], and living with his wife, Mary, and children--Thomas, John, James and Ann Eliza--in Nephi, Utah.

The on-line Utah Death Certificate for John Brough shows that he died on 5 April 1909 in Nephi, Utah, and that his parents were John Brough and Julia (?) of England.

The death date and burial date and place of John Brough is listed in a "Family Record" contained in a "New Testament" Family Bible, printed in 1870. Copies of this Family Record are in possession of the NBFO and RBFO.

John Brough

The birth of John Brough is listed in a "Family Record" contained in a "New Testament" Family Bible, printed in 1870. Copies of this Family Record are in possession of the NBFO and RBFO. Also, the birthdate and birthplace of John Brough is listed in the LDS Manti Temple Endowment Records (FHL Film # 15985), which states that when his son (John) performed the proxy endowment for his father (on 7 May 1889 in the Manti Temple) the recorder listed John's birth as having taken place on 30 December 1776 in Lincolnshire, England.

In the 1841 Census, William Curtis is listed as being about 26 years old (born about 1815), born in Lincolnshire, working as a "Bricklayer", and residing with his wife, Mary (and her father John Brough), in Caythorpe, Horncastle, Lincolnshire.

The 1841 Census lists John Brough as being about 63 years old (born about 1778), born in Lincolnshire, working as a "Laborer", and residing with his youngest daughter, Caroline, and his daughter Mary [Ann] and her husband, William Curtis, in Caythorpe, Horncastle, Lincolnshire. (Note: John's wife, Julia, is not listed with him in this census.)

The 1851 British Census lists John Brough (who is mistakenly indexed as "John Shough") as being about 75 years old (born about 1776), born in Marcham Le Fen. Also, at the time of the 1851 Census, John Brough was listed as "Receiving Parochial Relief", and residing as a "Lodger" in Horncastle.

The marriage certificate of John Brough and Ann Winter Fanthorp states that John's father, John Brough (ch.1776), was a "Gardener".

The death certificate of John Brough (in possession of the NBFO and RBFO) shows that he died on 16 February 1854, age 74, in Horncastle, Lincolnshire.

The burial of John Brough is listed in the British National Burial Index, which stated that John Brough was about age "74" (or born about 1780) at the time of his burial on 20 February 1854 at St. Mary, Horncastle, Lincolnshire.

Research Note: On 26 September 2007, Jessie Spisak, a professional genealogist in Salt Lake City, Utah, wrote the following to the NBFO and RBFO: "The most interesting part of my [re]search developed as I traced the children of John [Brough] and Julia through census records. For whatever reason, the family is never living together in one place during the periods in which the censuses were taken, which suggests that the children were forced to live among relatives. The 1841 census, as we know, lists John and Caroline (whom I believe to be John's granddaughter), and a few possibilities exist for John, who seems to be living among random people Harriett is also living amongest John Sharpe and a variety of others. The most complete census we have is the one that follows: The 1851 census lists John and Caroline Brough as visiting Harriet Brough and her husband James Snarr. Harriet has named one of her children Mary Ann, so this slightly connects four of the primary Broughs who were supposedly born to John and Julia."


Jane (Julia or Judith) Marshall

The christening of "Jane Marshall" is listed in the parish register of Hemingby (FHL Film # 1541961, Item #8) which states that "Jane Marshall daughter [of] Francis and Mary Marshall" was christened on 6 February 1785. Also, the christening of "Jane Marshall" is listed in the IGI (via the LDS Extraction Program, FHL Film # 504242), and was verified by Kathryn Stout, a professional genealogist in England, in May 2009, as follows: "Jane daughter of Francis and Mary Marshall, [christened] 6th February 1785 [in Hemingby parish]".

The birthplace of Jane (Julia) Marshall is listed in the LDS Manti Temple Endowment Records (FHL Film # 170437), which states that when her daughter, Harriet, performed her LDS proxy endowment, the recorder listed "Julia's" birthplace (but no birthdate) as being: "West Ashby, Lincoln, England". (Geographical Note: The traveling distance between West Ashby--where Jane (Julia) Marshall was reportedly born, and Hemingby parish--where Jane Marshall was christened, is only about three miles.) Also, "Julia" Marshall's LDS proxy baptism was performed on 10 November 1869, and her LDS endowment on 7 May 1889, both in the LDS Manti Temple.

The approximate death date of Jane Marshall has been stated by Kathryn Stout of England (in May 2009) as follows: "We know that Jane, Julia or Judith Brough or Bruff died sometime after the birth of [her last child] Caroline (Carrie) Brough on the 10th April 1830 and the start of Civil Registration in July 1937."

Research Note of 2003: In 2003, Raymond Madsen, a professional genealogist living in Utah, stated: "We originally turned to this family desiring to determine to learn more about Julia Marshall his wife. We did not find their marriage, nor a burial for her. We did learn that she is twice listed as Jane in parish registers. We do not know when she was born or where, but assume she was born about 1778-1795 probably in Horncastle or West Ashby. We searched the parish register for both and found no entry for a Julia, Judith or Jane Marshall. We did note in Horncastle that parish registers are damaged and missing pages in the 1790's which may explain the lack of finding her christening. Unlike the name Brough which is not found (except John in 1854), the name Marshall is very common in Horncastle (and West Ashby)."

Research Note of 2008: The 1841 Census does not list Jane (Julia) (Brough) Marshall as residing with her husband John Brough in Horncastle. In fact, the 1841 Census only lists John Brough and his youngest daughter, Caroline, as residing together. Could Jane (Julia) have died prior to the 1841 Census, or was she seperated or divorced from John at the time the 1841 Census was taken? Interestingly, the on-line Utah Death Certificate of Caroline (Brough) Dawes, the youngest child of John and Julia Brough, states that her mother's surname was "Fenn", not Marshall.

Research Note of 2009: Jane Marshall, who was christened on 6 February 1785 in Hemingby, Lincolnshire, is probably the same Jane (Julia or Judith) who married John Brough (1776-1854) in about 1817. This assumption is based on these three reasons: 1) Jane Marshall was identified as "Jane" Marshall in the christening records of two of her children: Harriet Brough and John Brough; 2) Three decades of research (by several different genealogists) of parish records in and around Mareham Le Fen, Horncastle and West Ashby in Lincolnshire have only revealed one christening that could possibly be associated with Jane Marshall who was born between 1778-1795: and that is the Jane Marshall who was christened on 6 February 1785 in Hemingby; 3) Jane Marshall, christened in Hemingby in 1785 named her first child and daughter "Elizabeth", possibly after the name of her younger sister, Elizabeth, and she also named her third child "Mary Ann" possibly after the name of her mother and other sibling, Mary.


Elizabeth (Eliza) Brough

The christening of Elizabeth Brough is listed in the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program)--and can be found in the Bishop's Transcript for Newark, Nottinghamshire (FHL Film # 504524).

Geographical Note: The travel distance between Newark Upon Trent--where Elizabeth Brough was christened, and Horncastle--where Elizabeth's next younger sister, Harriet, was christened--is about 41 miles.

Research Note: The IGI contains several entries for Elizabeth (Eliza) Brough, some of which suggest that Elizabeth possibly died between 1824 and 1828, and others which suggest that there were two Elizabeth's born to John and Julia Brough: one born and christened in 1818 and another born in 1825. The Bishop's Transcript for Newark (FHL Film # 504524--as the FHL does not have the Parish Registers for Newark), and the Parish Register for Horncastle (FHL Film # 1542140, Item 5) needs to be carefully reviewed to see if there were actually two Elizabeth's born to John and Julia Brough and if so when and where they died.
