Edward Brough was apparently born in Lapley or Wheaton Aston in about 1786 (based on census reports and his death record).

'Gentleman' Jim Brough must rank as one of the finest captains and servants in the history of the [Leeds] club. In a career spanning nearly twenty years, the Cumbrian born former England RU international gained a reputation for being one of the finest and innovative full backs in the code and an inspirational leader. His signing by Leeds in September 1925 was an enormous coup and his friendly rivalry with the likes of Jim Sullivan at Wigan and Warrington's Bill Shankland were focal points of matches. Their kicking duels were legendary but his impeccable defence and ability to turn that into searing attack with a sidestep or clean break became his trademarks. A Challenge Cup winner also in 1932 and ten years later he enjoyed enormous success leading Cumberland and England in a glittering career. In 1936 he led Leeds to their first ever success at Wembley.
Prior to joining Leeds Jim had already played for the England rugby Union against New Zealand and Wales and had even tried his hand at football, where he signed trialist forms for Liverpool as an understudy goalkeeper. He made his international debut in the first Test against Australia in on the 1928 tour and in 1936 captained the side. In 1958 Jim became the first coach ever appointed to a Great Britain touring team, and that side became one of the most successful ever, being the only touring side to score over 1000 points.From: http://www.sillothrugby.org.uk/jwbrough.html
One of the youngest men ever to play for England, James Wasdale Brough, the Silloth (Cumberland) fisherman who is a member of the Leeds team is an outstanding personality in professional rugby.

DEATH of Caleb Dixon Septimus Brough:
Caleb Dixon Septimus Brough was a Chief Petty Officer Telegraphist in the Royal Navy during World War II, and was killed-in-action when the HMS Neptune (a ship cruiser) was sunk on 19 December 1941 after hitting four mines in the Mediterranean Sea (between Malta and Libya). Caleb Brough was awarded the Royal Navy Service and Good Conduct Medal (see: Ancestry.com, "U.K. Naval Medal and Award Rolls, 1793-1972").
The following account of the sinking of the HMS Neptune is quoted here from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Neptune_(20)):
HMS Neptune was a Leander class light cruiser with the Royal Navy during World War II. The Neptune was the fourth ship of its class and was the ninth Royal Navy vessel to carry the name. Built by Portsmouth Dockyard, the vessel was laid down on 24 September 1931, launched on 31 January 1933, and commissioned into the Royal Navy on 12 February 1934 with the pennant number "20". During World War II, Neptune operated with a crew drawn predominantly from the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy.
The Royal Navy Task Force K was sent out on 18 December 1941, to intercept a convoy bound for Tripoli, Libya, right after the brief fleet engagement known as First Battle of Sirt. On the night of 19 December–20 December, Neptune, leading the line, struck two mines, part of a newly laid Italian minefield. The other cruisers present, Aurora and Penelope, also struck mines. While reversing out of the minefield, Neptune struck a third mine, which took off her propellers and left her dead in the water. Aurora was unable to render assistance as she was already down to 10 knots and needed to turn back to Malta. Penelope was also unable to assist. The destroyers Kandahar and Lively were sent into the minefield to attempt a tow. The former struck a mine and began drifting. Neptune then signalled for Lively to keep clear. (Kandahar was later evacuated and torpedoed by the destroyer HMS Jaguar to prevent her capture.) Neptune hit a fourth mine and quickly capsized. Only 30 seamen, out of her complement of 767, initially survived the sinking, and only one was still alive when their lifeboat was picked up five days later by the Italian torpedo boat Achille Papa.
Additional Internet sources about the sinking of the Neptune and its sole survivor can be found online at: http://ww2chat.com/war-sea/4614-service-hms-neptune.html.
