The christening of "Richard Brough" is listed in the parish register of Burslem, Staffordshire (FHL Book #: 942.46, B4pr, Vol.61, Part 1, p.265; and FHL Film # 7566311), which states that he was christened on 3 June 1759 at St. John's church in Burslem, Staffordshire, and that he was the "son of Richard and Mary Brough".
The 1777 marriage of Richard Brough and Ellen Parrot is listed in the parish register of Trentham (FHL Film # 1526192, Item #1, and FHL Book # 942.46, B4pr, V.39, page 307), which states that the marriage was by Banns and took place on 6 October 1777, and that Richard Brough and Ellen Parrot were both of "this parish". The marriage was witnessed by Richard Woolley, John Smith and William Clark.
Richard Brough was a "Labourer", as mentioned in the christening of his youngest son, Richard Brough, as follows: The christening of Richard Brough (chr. 1787) is listed in the IGI (via the LDS Extraction Program, Trentham parish register--FHL Film # 873647, p.291). Also, the christening date of Richard Brough is listed in the parish register of Trentham (FHL Film # 1526191, Item #17), which states that his father--also named Richard Brough--was a Labourer.
Richard Brough is probably the person listed as a witness in the marriage of his daughter, Alice, to Charles Hassal in 1801, as follows: The marriage of "Charles Hassal" and "Alice Brough" is listed in the parish record of St. Giles, Newcastle under Lyme (FHL Film # 1040775, Item #5), which states that they were married by Banns on 14 June 1801, that they were both "of the Parish of Stoke", that Charles Hassal was a "Potter, and that the marriage was witnessed by "Wm. [William] Hill" and "Richard Brough"--who was probably Alice's father.
Richard Brough apparently died after 14 June 1801, as he is probably the same person who witnessed the marriage of his daughter, Alice, to Charles Hassal in 1801, as follows: The marriage of "Charles Hassal" and "Alice Brough" is listed in the parish record of St. Giles, Newcastle under Lyme (FHL Film # 1040775, Item #5), which states that they were married by Banns on 14 June 1801, that they were both "of the Parish of Stoke", that Charles Hassal was a "Potter, and that the marriage was witnessed by "Wm. [William] Hill" and "Richard Brough"--who was probably Alice's father. Also, Richard Brough apparently died sometime after his wife, Ellen--who died in 1789, as follows: "The burial of Ellen Parrott, which occurred on 13 June 1789, is listed in the Trentham Parish Register (FHL book # 942.46, B4pr, Vol. 39): "Ellen w[ife] of Rich. Brough, Labr. Tr. 38 [years old]."
Family record taken from the 2000 RBFO book "The Broughs of Staffordshire, England and their English, American and Australian Descendants."
In February 1986, Ann Brough Hind of Yorkshire, England, mentioned the following to the RBFO (see RBFO Hind Research Reports, page 60 and 66): "A Mrs. Eva Beech, who is an expert in felons of Staffordshire, sent me a Brough entry, from the Register of Felons (W/1723/5 p.8): Mr. Richard Brough. May 31st (1814?) age 59. Brickmaker; guilty: 3 months in Stafford Gaol." Somewhat similarly, according to the website: http://www.uyk/transcriptions.accessgenealogy.com/, a "Richard Brough" of Staffordshire committed an act of "violence" against a "Charles Porter" in "1810", and served "3 months" in "prison" for "assault". The RBFO is currently conducting further research into whether the Richard Brough christened on 3 June 1759--or a different Richard Brough born in about 1755--is the same person or related to the same person(s) mentioned above as having served "3 months" in the Staffordshire prison.
The 1777 marriage of Richard Brough and Ellen Parrot is listed in the parish register of Trentham (FHL Film # 1526192, Item #1, and FHL Book # 942.46, B4pr, V.39, page 307), which states that the marriage was by Banns and took place on 6 October 1777, and that Richard Brough and Ellen Parrot were both of "this parish".

Note: The top of the parish register page containing the burial listing for Elizabeth Horleston is mistakenly written as "1833" when it should have been written as "1843"--as can be determined by looking at the flow of months from the previous pages and entry dates.
The "Will" of "Elizabeth Horleston" (FHL Film # 96721--located about halfway through the microfilm), was probated in Newcastle, Staffordshire, on 27 October 1843, but was written on 13 December 1829. In her Will, Elizabeth Horleston states that "the whole of my estate...consists of nothing but a lease of a cottage at Whetley Moore [Wetley Moor]...which lease expires at the death of my son William Horleston, and the premises of the said cottage consists of two small dwelling houses with about three acreas of land...and the said land is divided into three small crofts". (Note: a "croft" is a small enclosed field or pasture near a house.) The Will of Elizabeth Horleston also named three children: her son "William Horleston"--who was a "Collier", her son "Richard Horleston", and her daughter, "Mary Brough"--who was the wife of "Richard Brough", a "Labourer"; and the Probate section of the Will stated that Elizabeth Horleston died on 14 October 1843.

Research Note: In December 2016 members of the BFO Research Committee determined that "Joshua Hollinson" was "probably" the son of Elizabeth Hollison. This determination was made after extensive review of available parish records in and near Bucknall, and after careful review of known Hollinson family history in Staffordshire.

Brief History of Ellen Brough and Her Descendants
Ellen Brough (1825-1879), the eldest daughter of Richard Brough (1786-1873) and Mary Horleston (1795-1879), was born in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England. Between 1841 and 1851, Ellen moved from Longton, Staffordshire to Westminster, London, probably because her uncle, William Parrott Brough (1783-1853), and his family, had already settled in the Middlesex (London) area in the 1820’s.
In 1853, Ellen Brough had a daughter, also named Ellen Brough (1853-1918), who was born in Carlisle, Cumberland, England.
In 1862, Ellen (the mother), married John Ogden, at St. Mary, Lambeth, Surrey. In 1841, John Ogden worked as a “Hatter”. John Ogden died in 1871 in Wandsworth Surrey, and his wife, Ellen Brough Ogden, died in 1879 in Wandsworth, Surrey. Ellen is buried in an unmarked “common grave site” in West Norwood Cemetery in Lambeth, Surrey.
In 1868, Ellen (the daughter)--who was listed as "Helen Ogden Brough" on her marriage record--married William Burdock Roberts (1849-1915), at St. Paul Wilton Place, Middlesex, England. William worked as a “Mason” and he and Ellen had four children: William Frederick Roberts (1868-1870), Eliza Roberts (b.1870), John Roberts (1871-1871), and Henry Ogden Roberts (1873-1945).
Eliza Roberts (b.1870) married Charles Edward West (b.1864) in 1894 in Wandsworth London. Charles worked as a “Carman” and he and Eliza had a son: Edward Henry West (b.1898). (Historical note: A “Carman” drove a horse-drawn vehicle and was often employed by railway companies to deliver and collect goods and packages.)
Henry Ogden Roberts (1873-1945) married his first wife, Edith Cullen (1875-1909), in 1894 in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Henry worked as a “Gas Stoker” and he and Edith had one daughter: Edith Eliza Roberts (b.1896). After Edith died (in 1909), Henry married his second wife, Elizabeth Mary Grant (1884-1916), in 1916 in Thanet, Kent. They also had a daughter: Ethel Ellen Pauline Roberts (1917-1979).
At the present time the Brough Family Organization is continuing to research the descendants and relatives of Ellen Brough (1825-1879).

The present church, built in 1825, replaced an older, smaller chapel. In the early 1800s Fulford was the Gretna Green of North Staffordshire as many runaway couples, mostly from Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, were married in St.Nicholas Church. Around 1872 it was discovered that the new Church of St. Nicholas had not been consecrated or licensed for the solemnisation of marriages. An Act of Parliament passed in 1873 stated that marriages conducted there should be deemed legal and St. Nicholas was duly consecrated and licensed for marriages.https://www.stnicholascenter.org/gazetteer/585/ .

Fulford, a chapelry, in the parish and union of Stone, S. division of the hundred of Pirehill, N. division of the county of Stafford, 4¾ miles (N.E.) from Stone."
In the 1851 Census, Richard Brough is listed as being about 23 years old (born about 1828), born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, married to "Susannah"--which was apparently a mistake by the census-taker for her correct given-name of Rosannah, working as a Coal Miner, and residing with his wife and children on: Stone Road in Blurton, Trentham, Staffordshire.
In the 1861 Census, Richard Brough is listed as being about 33 years old (born about 1828), born in Longton, Stafforsdshire, married to "Rosanna", working as a Beer Seller, and residing with his wife and children at: 16 & 18 Russell Street, Longton, Staffordshire.

According to Samuel Richard Brough missionary journal (Book F, page 84), he states that on Monday, November 10, 1890, he "visited Aunt Rose (widow) [of] Uncle Richard Brough...." So Richard Brough died sometime between 1881 (when his wife still listed herself as "married" in the 1881 Census) and 1890. (Note: Richard's wife listed herself as a "Widow" in the 1891 Census.)
Research Note: In April 2021, Adrian Brough of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, personally visited the Holy Evangelists Church in Normacot, Staffordshire, and viewed the graves that were still visible in the church graveyard--which churchyard was in poor condition.

In the 1871 Census, "Rose" (Brough) is listed as being about 47 years old (born about 1824), born in Longton, Staffordshire, married to Richard Brough, and residing with her husband and their daughter's Annie and Sarah, along with son-in-law's John Kelshall and Thomas Lockett (and grandson John Lockett) at: 16 & 18 Russell Street, Longton, Staffordshire.
In the 1881 Census, "Rosette Brough" is listed as being about 57 years old (born about 1824), born in Trentham, Staffordshire, still "married" (although her husband Richard is not listed with her), and residing as a "mother in law" with John and Ann Kellsall on: Spring Road, Normacott, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire.
In the 1891 Census, "Rosanna Brough" is listed as being about 70 years old (born about 1821), born in Longton, Staffordshire, and "living on her own means" as a "Widow" with her daughter Ann and son-in-law John Kelsall at: "60 Anchor Road, Longton".
In December 2012, the BFO obtained a copy of the death certificate of Rosannah Brough from England, which stated that she died on 20 June 1892 at 60 Anchor Road, Longton, Staffordshire, that she died when she was "64 years " old (born about 1828) from "Inflammation of Corcum", that she was the "Widow of Richard Brough a brickmaker", and that the informant of her death was "Ann Kelsall, daughter, present at the death [at] 60 Anchor Road, Longton".
The burial of "Rosannah Myatt" is listed and shown in FamilySearch (FHL Film # 100960096), which states that she was buried on 23 June 1892 at the Church of the Holy Evangelists in Normacot, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England, that her "Abode" was "60 Anchor Road, Longton", and that she died when she was "64" years old (born about 1828). (Note: Church of the Holy Evangelists is located at: 99 Upper Belgrave Rd. Stoke-on-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST3 4QL England.)
Research Note: In April 2021, Adrian Brough of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, personally visited the Holy Evangelists Church in Normacot, Staffordshire, and viewed the graves that were still visible in the church graveyard--which churchyard was in poor condition. Unfortunately he could not find the grave of Rosannah Brough (nee Myatt) and/or her husband, Richard Brough.
Research Note: Marie B. Nielson, RBFO Genealogist, did extensive research on the Myatt line in 2003-2004, and discovered that the Broughs and Myatts have multiple family cconnections. For example, Rosannah Myatt's father was Thomas Myatt (b.1790). Thomas Myatt's parents were Thomas Myatt (b.1764) and Margaret Brough (b.1772). Margaret Brough's father was John Brough (b.1732). John Brough's (b.1732) father was John Brough (b.1705). John Brough's (b.1705) father was John Brough (b.1672). John Brough's (b.1672) father was Richard Brough (b.1620) of Kingsley and New Grange, Staffordshire, England. Interestingly, Richard Brough (b.1620) was also the direct ancestor of Richard Brough (b.1786) who married Mary Horleston, and whose child, Richard Brough (b. 1827), married Rosannah Myatt in 1846.
Marriage Notes for Richard Brough and Rosannah Myatt-120
The marriage of Richard Brough and Rosannah Myatt is listed in the Bishop's Transcripts for Fulford Chapel, Stone, Staffordshire (FHL Film # 426546), which states that they were married by Banns on 2 August 1846; that Richd [Richard] Brough was of "full age" and a Bachelor and Collier of Star and Garter [Road], and that his father was Richd [Richard] Brough, a Brickmaker; and that Rosanna Myatt was of "full age" and a Spinster of Star and Garter [Road], and that her father was Thos [Thomas] Myatt, a Pot Sellor. The marriage was witnessed by James Brian and Edwd [Edward] Baker. Background Information about Fulford Chapel: Source: https://www.stnicholascenter.org/gazetteer/585/ : "St. Nicholas Parish Church, Fulford-in-Stone, Staffordshire, England, UK (Church of England - Anglican): A chapel has been on the site since the 14th century. The present church, built in 1825, replaced an older, smaller chapel. In the early 1800s Fulford was the Gretna Green of North Staffordshire as many runaway couples, mostly from Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, were married in St.Nicholas Church. Around 1872 it was discovered that the new Church of St. Nicholas had not been consecrated or licensed for the solemnisation of marriages. An Act of Parliament passed in 1873 stated that marriages conducted there should be deemed legal and St. Nicholas was duly consecrated and licensed for marriages.https://www.stnicholascenter.org/gazetteer/585/ .

In 1863, a “Samuel Cartlidge” was listed in the "U.S. Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865“ (via Ancestry.com), which stated that he was “subject to do military duty” in “June and July, 1863” in the 12th Congressional District of Illinois--which included the counties of Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph St. Clair and Washington--and that he was about "33" years old on "1st July 1863" (born about 1830), "White", a "Col[l]ier", "married", born in "England“, and residing at “Wood River Coal” in Madison Co., Illinois. This individual may be the same “Samuel Cartlidge” who married “Elizabeth Brough” in 1852 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. For instance: 1) Samuel is listed as a “Collier” in his 1852 marriage record, similarly as a “Coal Miner” in the 1860 U.S. Census, and again as a “Col[l]ier” in the above shown 1863 record; 2) Samuel is listed in the above shown 1863 record as still being officially “married”--which would fit into the facts that Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel on 9 February 1864 and stated in May 1864 that he had earlier “left her” on 25 February 1861 and “has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman”; and 3) Samuel and Elizabeth are listed as residing in Upper Alton, Madison Co., Illinois, in the 1860 U.S. Census, while Samuel is listed as residing in Wood River Coal, Madison, Co., Illinois, in the above shown 1863 record, and the travel distance between Upper Alton and Wood River is only about four miles.
On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
Samuel and Elizabeth Cartlidge departed from England on 25 May 1856 and arrived in Boston 30 June 1856 on the ship Horizon with her brother Thomas and his wife Jane Patterson and children.
The US Census, dated 11 July 1860, Upper Alton, Madison, Illinois, USA, states:
Samuel Carthaledge, 28, Male, Coal Miner, birthplace: England
Elizabeth, 26, Female, birthplace: EnglandSamuel Cartlidge is not in the 1870 census for Illinois, WY or UT. The 1870 census reads that Elizabeth had married Enoch Tipton and the family then consisted of Josephine age 9 and Eva age 2.
In May 1864, Elizabeth Brough--who married Enoch Tipton on 20 February 1864--stated that on "25th of February AD 1861" Samuel Cartlidge had "absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman." Based on Elizabeth's statement, Samuel Cartlidge possibly died in England sometime after May 1864.
History of Elizabeth Brough (1834-1896) and her two Husbands: Samuel Cartlidge and Enoch Tipton. Originally written by Lezlie Ann Anderson and John M. Broughin July 2004; updated by R. Clayton Brough in May 2021.
Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 to Richard Brough and Mary Horleston in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England. She was christened on 1 June 1834 in St. John's Parish Church (of England), Lane End, Longton. In 1840, Elizabeth Brough's father, Richard Brough, had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S. Church), and when Elizabeth was 13 years old she decided to join her father's new-found religion and became the first child of Richard Brough and Mary Horleston to join the L.D.S. Church. Elizabeth was baptized into the L.D.S. Church on 17 May 1847 in the L.D.S. Longton Branch.
On 25 January 1852, Elizabeth married Samuel Cartlidge in St. Peter, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Samuel Cartlidge was christened in 1832 in Longton, Staffordshire). By 1856, she and Samuel, along with her older brother Thomas Brough and his wife Jean (Jane) Paterson and their two children, prepared to leave their native England to emigrate to America, where they wanted to join the rest of the L.D.S. "Saints" in Utah.
On 25 May 1856, Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, along with Thomas Brough and Jane and their two children, left on the ship Horizon, from Liverpool, England. The Horizon was commanded by a Captain Reid, and the "Mormon company" aboard this vessel was under the direction of Edward Martin. Aboard the Horizon there were 692 adults, 136 children and 26 infants, totaling 854 passengers. Thomas and Jane and their children-and possibly Elizabeth and Samuel-paid their own fares and were therefore booked as ordinary passengers, while the majority of the Mormon immigrants aboard were funded by the Perpetual Emigration Fund of the L.D.S. Church. The ship Horizon reached Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, on 30 June 1856.
Shortly after arriving in the northeastern United States, Thomas's money ran out, and he and Jane were forced to stop in Pennsylvania where Thomas then worked just long enough in the surrounding coal mines to obtain enough money to get him and his family to Madison County, Illinois. It is possible that Elizabeth and Samuel went with Thomas Brough and his family to Pennsylvania because Samuel Cartlidge and Thomas Brough were both described as "Coal Miners" in the 1860 Census.
By the middle of 1857, Thomas and Jane Brough had settled in, Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. There Thomas rented a farm, and for the next seven years, from 1857 to 1864, he grew corn and raised hogs and other farm animals. Also in 1857, Elizabeth and Samuel moved to Illinois, where their first child, Mary Jane, was born on 14 December 1857 in Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Unfortunately, Mary Jane's health was very poor and she died the following year, in 1858.
In 1860, Elizabeth and Samuel Cartlidge were living in the same area of Illinois as was Thomas and Jane Brough. According to the 1860 Census, both families were living in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois on 11 July 1860. Two months after the Census was taken, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, Josephine Cartlidge, on 7 September 1860, in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. Unfortunately, in February 1861, Samuel deserted his wife and daughter and reportedly returned to England. On 9 February 1864, Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge. (Note: There is no record of Samuel Cartlidge ever joining the LDS Church.)
On 20 February 1864, Elizabeth married Enoch Tipton in Madison County, Illinois. (Enoch Tipton was born in 1835 in Asterley, Pontesbury, Shroprshire, England, and baptized into the L.D.S. Church in April 1854. Enoch and his brother, Elijah, and Elijah's wife Emma and their one-year old daughter, Sarah, came on the same ship "Horizon" as did Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge. In 1860, Enoch Tipton was residing--along with his widowed mother, Sarah Tipton--in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. In fact, it appears from the 1860 Census report that Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, Thomas Brough and Jean (Jane) Paterson, and Enoch Tipton, all lived in close proximity to each other while they resided in Bethalto, Madison, Illinois. Also, Thomas Brough and Enoch Tipton were living "next door" to each other while residing in Bethalto.)
Sometime between 1864 and 1867, Elizabeth and Enoch Tipton left Illinois for Utah. (Note: Thomas and Jane Brough made the three month trip to Utah between 15 June 1864 and 18 September 1864.) They are considered as being Mormon Pioneers because they arrived in Utah prior to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.
Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton had their first child, Eva Nell, on 2 October 1867 in West Porterville, Utah. In 1871, Elizabeth's younger brother, Samuel Brough, had moved his wife (Elizabeth Bott) and family from Porterville to Randolph. During the summer, Samuel Brough was a farmer and brickmaker, but during the winter he went to Almy, Wyoming to work in the coal mines. Like Samuel Brough, Enoch Tipton may have also done something similar, for Enoch is listed in the 1870 Census as a "Farmer" and in the 1880 Census as a "Coal Miner." On 1 October 1872, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, William Enoch, in Almy, Wyoming.
In the mid 1870's, Elizabeth and Enoch were still residing in Randolph, where their third and last child, John Tipton, was born on 26 March 1875. Unfortunately, John died two days later on March 28.
In the 1880 Census, Elizabeth and Enoch are listed as living in Kaysville, Utah-where Enoch probably assisted Thomas and Samuel Brough at the Brough Brick Yard located in east Kaysville. Also, the 1880 Census reports that their family then consisted of three children: Josephine (Cartlidge), Eva Nell and William Enoch.
Enoch Tipton died on 21 June 1888. Elizabeth Brough Tipton died on 15 February 1896. They were both buried in the center of the Randolph City Cemetery.
Elizabeth Brough was born in Lane End, Staffordshire, England, on 17 May 1834. This location is often referred to as "Lane End, Longton". For example: "Lane End, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Confusion often arises over the location and names of Lane End and Longton. Originally they were two separate and contiguous townships which were incorporated in the Borough of Longton in 1865. Longton was adjacent to Longton Hall and encompassed the Longton Hall Colliery and Brickworks. Even in 1900 the area was mainly fields. Lane End was centered on the area around Market Street and the bottom part of Anchor Road and contained the Markets, Churches and main potworks." (Source: http://www.thepotteries.org/did_you/009.htm)
The christening of "Eliz. Brough" is listed in the parish register of St. John, Longton, Staffordshire, England (FHL Film # 1471087, Item #1), which states that she was christened on 1 June 1834 as the daughter of Richard and Mary Brough of Lane End, and that Richard Brough was a "Collier"--which occupational listing was probably a mistake based on the previous entry for another Richard Brough (married to a Jane) who was also listed as a "Collier".
In August 2007, the RBFO obtained a copy of the marriage certificate of Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough, which stated that they were married on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's Church, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, and that at the time of their marriage, Samuel Cartlidge was of "full age" and a "Bachelor" and "Collier" and that his father was John Cartlidge (a Collier), and that Elizabeth Brough was of "full age" and a "Spinster" of "Fenton" and that her father was Richard Brough (a Brickmaker), and their marriage was witnessed by Thomas Brough and Mary Ann Brough--who were Elizabeth's brother and sister.
In the 1860 U.S. Census, "Elizabeth Carthaledge" is listed as being 26 years old (born about 1834), born in England, and residing with her husband, Samuel Carthaledge (age 29), at: Upper Alton (post office), Madison Co., Illinois.
In 1863, a “Samuel Cartlidge” was listed in the "U.S. Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865“ (via Ancestry.com), which stated that he was “subject to do military duty” in “June and July, 1863” in the 12th Congressional District of Illinois--which included the counties of Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph St. Clair and Washington--and that he was about "33" years old on "1st July 1863" (born about 1830), "White", a "Col[l]ier", "married", born in "England“, and residing at “Wood River Coal” in Madison Co., Illinois. This individual may be the same “Samuel Cartlidge” who married “Elizabeth Brough” in 1852 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. For instance: 1) Samuel is listed as a “Collier” in his 1852 marriage record, similarly as a “Coal Miner” in the 1860 U.S. Census, and again as a “Col[l]ier” in the above shown 1863 record; 2) Samuel is listed in the above shown 1863 record as still being officially “married”--which would fit into the facts that Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel on 9 February 1864 and stated in May 1864 that he had earlier “left her” on 25 February 1861 and “has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman”; and 3) Samuel and Elizabeth are listed as residing in Upper Alton, Madison Co., Illinois, in the 1860 U.S. Census, while Samuel is listed as residing in Wood River Coal, Madison, Co., Illinois, in the above shown 1863 record, and the travel distance between Upper Alton and Wood River is only about four miles.
On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
The marriage of "Enoch Tipton" and "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartledge" took place in Madison County, Illinois, on February 20, 1864. This marriage is listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index website (http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/marriageSearch.do).
Information on Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton is listed in the LDS "Salt Lake Temple Records [for] Sealings for Dead Couples, Book B, 1894-1896" (FHL Special Collections Film # 184588, p.12), which states that on 14 November 1894, Elizabeth Brough was sealed to her deceased husband, Enoch Tipton, in the LDS Salt Lake Temple; that Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 in Longton, Staffordshire, England; that Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835 in Shropshire, England, and died on 21 June 1888; and that Elizabeth and Enoch were sealed by Adolph Madson, and that the sealing was witnessed by George Romney and Elijah F. Sheets. Also, on December 19, 2002, Alison U.B. Allred, an RBFO Genealogist, discovered that the LDS Ward Records for Randolph, Utah (FHL US/CAN Film # 0026439), listed the birth of Elizabeth Brough Tipton as being "17 May 1834." (Elizabeth Brough's LDS baptism and endowment dates are listed in the TIB, FHL Film # 1267255.)
A "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton," written by Delle Snowball McKinnon and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, states the following about her grave marker: Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."
The tombstone of Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton in the Randolph Cemetery (Coordinate: 11-L) in Randolph, Utah, originally listed Enoch Tipton as having died in 1870. This was incorrect because Enoch died in 1888. Prior to Memorial Day in 2003, John M. Brough corrected the date, and Richard L. Brough and James H. Brough reset the tombstone.
According to Warren D. Brough, RBFO Genealogist (and published in the 1988 RBFO book, p.78), Elizabeth Brough was baptized a member of the LDS Church on 17 May 1847. This undoubtedly happened in the LDS Longton Branch of Staffordshire, England.
Elizabeth Brough spelled the surname of her first husband as "Cartlidge", as can be seen in the FHL Temple Index Bureau entry (Film # 184652, page 419) for Mary Jane Cartlidge that reads: "Mary Jane Cartlidge, born 14 Dec 1857, Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Died 1858. Sealed to Enoch Tipton [stepfather] and Elizabeth Brough (Cartlidge) Tipton on 28 February 1895. Heir: Samuel R. Brough. Proxy: Emily E. Brough." Elizabeth Brough married her second husband, Enoch Tipton, on 20 Feb 1864 in Bethalto, Madison Co., Illinois.
History of Elizabeth Brough (1834-1896) and her two Husbands: Samuel Cartlidge and Enoch Tipton. Originally written by Lezlie Ann Anderson and John M. Broughin July 2004; updated by R. Clayton Brough in May 2021.
Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 to Richard Brough and Mary Horleston in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England. She was christened on 1 June 1834 in St. John's Parish Church (of England), Lane End, Longton. In 1840, Elizabeth Brough's father, Richard Brough, had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S. Church), and when Elizabeth was 13 years old she decided to join her father's new-found religion and became the first child of Richard Brough and Mary Horleston to join the L.D.S. Church. Elizabeth was baptized into the L.D.S. Church on 17 May 1847 in the L.D.S. Longton Branch.
On 25 January 1852, Elizabeth married Samuel Cartlidge in St. Peter, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Samuel Cartlidge was christened in 1832 in Longton, Staffordshire). By 1856, she and Samuel, along with her older brother Thomas Brough and his wife Jean (Jane) Paterson and their two children, prepared to leave their native England to emigrate to America, where they wanted to join the rest of the L.D.S. "Saints" in Utah.
On 25 May 1856, Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, along with Thomas Brough and Jane and their two children, left on the ship Horizon, from Liverpool, England. The Horizon was commanded by a Captain Reid, and the "Mormon company" aboard this vessel was under the direction of Edward Martin. Aboard the Horizon there were 692 adults, 136 children and 26 infants, totaling 854 passengers. Thomas and Jane and their children-and possibly Elizabeth and Samuel-paid their own fares and were therefore booked as ordinary passengers, while the majority of the Mormon immigrants aboard were funded by the Perpetual Emigration Fund of the L.D.S. Church. The ship Horizon reached Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, on 30 June 1856.
Shortly after arriving in the northeastern United States, Thomas's money ran out, and he and Jane were forced to stop in Pennsylvania where Thomas then worked just long enough in the surrounding coal mines to obtain enough money to get him and his family to Madison County, Illinois. It is possible that Elizabeth and Samuel went with Thomas Brough and his family to Pennsylvania because Samuel Cartlidge and Thomas Brough were both described as "Coal Miners" in the 1860 Census.
By the middle of 1857, Thomas and Jane Brough had settled in, Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. There Thomas rented a farm, and for the next seven years, from 1857 to 1864, he grew corn and raised hogs and other farm animals. Also in 1857, Elizabeth and Samuel moved to Illinois, where their first child, Mary Jane, was born on 14 December 1857 in Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Unfortunately, Mary Jane's health was very poor and she died the following year, in 1858.
In 1860, Elizabeth and Samuel Cartlidge were living in the same area of Illinois as was Thomas and Jane Brough. According to the 1860 Census, both families were living in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois on 11 July 1860. Two months after the Census was taken, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, Josephine Cartlidge, on 7 September 1860, in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. Unfortunately, in February 1861, Samuel deserted his wife and daughter and reportedly returned to England. On 9 February 1864, Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge. (Note: There is no record of Samuel Cartlidge ever joining the LDS Church.)
On 20 February 1864, Elizabeth married Enoch Tipton in Madison County, Illinois. (Enoch Tipton was born in 1835 in Asterley, Pontesbury, Shroprshire, England, and baptized into the L.D.S. Church in April 1854. Enoch and his brother, Elijah, and Elijah's wife Emma and their one-year old daughter, Sarah, came on the same ship "Horizon" as did Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge. In 1860, Enoch Tipton was residing--along with his widowed mother, Sarah Tipton--in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. In fact, it appears from the 1860 Census report that Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, Thomas Brough and Jean (Jane) Paterson, and Enoch Tipton, all lived in close proximity to each other while they resided in Bethalto, Madison, Illinois. Also, Thomas Brough and Enoch Tipton were living "next door" to each other while residing in Bethalto.)
Sometime between 1864 and 1867, Elizabeth and Enoch Tipton left Illinois for Utah. (Note: Thomas and Jane Brough made the three month trip to Utah between 15 June 1864 and 18 September 1864.) They are considered as being Mormon Pioneers because they arrived in Utah prior to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.
Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton had their first child, Eva Nell, on 2 October 1867 in West Porterville, Utah. In 1871, Elizabeth's younger brother, Samuel Brough, had moved his wife (Elizabeth Bott) and family from Porterville to Randolph. During the summer, Samuel Brough was a farmer and brickmaker, but during the winter he went to Almy, Wyoming to work in the coal mines. Like Samuel Brough, Enoch Tipton may have also done something similar, for Enoch is listed in the 1870 Census as a "Farmer" and in the 1880 Census as a "Coal Miner." On 1 October 1872, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, William Enoch, in Almy, Wyoming.
In the mid 1870's, Elizabeth and Enoch were still residing in Randolph, where their third and last child, John Tipton, was born on 26 March 1875. Unfortunately, John died two days later on March 28.
In the 1880 Census, Elizabeth and Enoch are listed as living in Kaysville, Utah-where Enoch probably assisted Thomas and Samuel Brough at the Brough Brick Yard located in east Kaysville. Also, the 1880 Census reports that their family then consisted of three children: Josephine (Cartlidge), Eva Nell and William Enoch.
Enoch Tipton died on 21 June 1888. Elizabeth Brough Tipton died on 15 February 1896. They were both buried in the center of the Randolph City Cemetery.
Marriage Notes for Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough-112

On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
The L.D.S. FHL Temple Index Bureau entry (Film # 184652, page 419) for Mary Jane Cartlidge reads: "Mary Jane Cartlidge, born 14 Dec 1857, Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Died 1858. Sealed to Enoch Tipton [stepfather] and Elizabeth Brough (Cartlidge) Tipton on 28 February 1895. Heir: Samuel R. Brough. Proxy: Emily E. Brough."
The marriage of "Enoch Tipton" and "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartledge" took place in Madison County, Illinois, on February 20, 1864. This marriage is listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index website (http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/marriageSearch.do).
Information on Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Brough is listed in the LDS "Salt Lake Temple Records [for] Sealings for Dead Couples, Book B, 1894-1896" (FHL Special Collections Film # 184588, p.12), which states that on 14 November 1894, Elizabeth Brough was sealed to her deceased husband, Enoch Tipton, in the LDS Salt Lake Temple; that Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 in Longton, Staffordshire, England; that Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835 in Shropshire, England, and died on 21 June 1888; and that Elizabeth and Enoch were sealed by Adolph Madson, and that the sealing was witnessed by George Romney and Elijah F. Sheets.
Enoch Tipton’s surname is “Tipton” and not “Typton”. While he was alive Enoch personally identified and signed his own surname as “Tipton”. Also, Enoch's surname is recorded as “Tipton” in the 1841 and 1851 British Census; in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 U.S. Census; in his property and warrantee deeds in Randolph, Utah, in his will, probate and burial records in Randolph, Utah, and in his LDS Church records. In addition, all available birth and christening records of Enoch’s siblings in Shropshire, England, identified their surname as “Tipton”.
The tombstone of Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton in the Randolph Cemetery (Coordinate: 11-L) in Randolph, Utah, originally listed Enoch Tipton as having died in 1870. This was incorrect because Enoch died in 1888. Prior to Memorial Day in 2003, John M. Brough corrected the date, and Richard L. Brough and James H. Brough reset the tombstone.
Research Notes on Enoch Tipton by the RBFO Research Committee, dated 2 January 2003:
RBFO genealogists have obtained the following information about Enoch Tipton:
1) Property and Warrantee Deeds from the area of Randolph, Utah, state that on "the 14th day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand and eight hundred and eighty-eight [or 14 June 1888],...Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Tipton his wife of Randolph in the county of Rich, and Territory of Utah...[sold to] Samuel Brough of same county and territory aforesaid...thirty-six acres and one hundred and twenty square rods of ground [ in Randolph]." This indicates that Enoch Tipton was still alive in 14 June 1888.
2) Probate (#6) and Petition Records from the Rich County Clerk Office in Randolph, Utah, dated December 13, 1892, state that "Enoch Tipton died on or about June 16, 1888, that previous to his death, he being then in immediate expectation of death, he then and there in said Randolph Rich Co Utah executed and signed a will, making disposition of his property which will was duly witnessed and accompanies this petition."
3) According to the Randolph (Rich County) Court Minutes (FHL US/CAN Film # 0480877) dated December 24, 1892, "In the matter of the Will and Estate of Enoch Tipton, Deceased," William Rex testified (to which Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Brough Tipton both agreed) that Enoch Tipton died "on his homestead near Randolph, Rich County, Utah," from "intestinal trouble from lifting."
4) According to Randolph Cemetery records, Elizabeth was “buried on the north side of Enoch Tipton her husband” in Randolph, Utah. In 2003, RBFO officers corrected the tombstone inscription in the Randolph Cemetery that had earlier--and incorrectly--listed Enoch Tipton's death date as "1870". This earlier--but incorrect--death date for Enoch Tipton was mistakenly inscribed on a "replacement" tombstone during the 1900's. For instance, according to a historical account written by Delle Snowball McKinnon, entitled the "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton" (and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers), "Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today [in the 1900's] the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."Census Records containing Enoch Tipton and family:

Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 to Richard Brough and Mary Horleston in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England.

Enoch Tipton died on 21 June 1888. Elizabeth Brough Tipton died on 15 February 1896. They were both buried in the center of the Randolph City Cemetery.
Elizabeth Brough was born in Lane End, Staffordshire, England, on 17 May 1834. This location is often referred to as "Lane End, Longton". For example: "Lane End, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Confusion often arises over the location and names of Lane End and Longton. Originally they were two separate and contiguous townships which were incorporated in the Borough of Longton in 1865. Longton was adjacent to Longton Hall and encompassed the Longton Hall Colliery and Brickworks. Even in 1900 the area was mainly fields. Lane End was centered on the area around Market Street and the bottom part of Anchor Road and contained the Markets, Churches and main potworks." (Source: http://www.thepotteries.org/did_you/009.htm)
The christening of "Eliz. Brough" is listed in the parish register of St. John, Longton, Staffordshire, England (FHL Film # 1471087, Item #1), which states that she was christened on 1 June 1834 as the daughter of Richard and Mary Brough of Lane End, and that Richard Brough was a "Collier"--which occupational listing was probably a mistake based on the previous entry for another Richard Brough (married to a Jane) who was also listed as a "Collier".
In August 2007, the RBFO obtained a copy of the marriage certificate of Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough, which stated that they were married on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's Church, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, and that at the time of their marriage, Samuel Cartlidge was of "full age" and a "Bachelor" and "Collier" and that his father was John Cartlidge (a Collier), and that Elizabeth Brough was of "full age" and a "Spinster" of "Fenton" and that her father was Richard Brough (a Brickmaker), and their marriage was witnessed by Thomas Brough and Mary Ann Brough--who were Elizabeth's brother and sister.
In the 1860 U.S. Census, "Elizabeth Carthaledge" is listed as being 26 years old (born about 1834), born in England, and residing with her husband, Samuel Carthaledge (age 29), at: Upper Alton (post office), Madison Co., Illinois.
In 1863, a “Samuel Cartlidge” was listed in the "U.S. Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865“ (via Ancestry.com), which stated that he was “subject to do military duty” in “June and July, 1863” in the 12th Congressional District of Illinois--which included the counties of Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph St. Clair and Washington--and that he was about "33" years old on "1st July 1863" (born about 1830), "White", a "Col[l]ier", "married", born in "England“, and residing at “Wood River Coal” in Madison Co., Illinois. This individual may be the same “Samuel Cartlidge” who married “Elizabeth Brough” in 1852 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. For instance: 1) Samuel is listed as a “Collier” in his 1852 marriage record, similarly as a “Coal Miner” in the 1860 U.S. Census, and again as a “Col[l]ier” in the above shown 1863 record; 2) Samuel is listed in the above shown 1863 record as still being officially “married”--which would fit into the facts that Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel on 9 February 1864 and stated in May 1864 that he had earlier “left her” on 25 February 1861 and “has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman”; and 3) Samuel and Elizabeth are listed as residing in Upper Alton, Madison Co., Illinois, in the 1860 U.S. Census, while Samuel is listed as residing in Wood River Coal, Madison, Co., Illinois, in the above shown 1863 record, and the travel distance between Upper Alton and Wood River is only about four miles.
On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
The marriage of "Enoch Tipton" and "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartledge" took place in Madison County, Illinois, on February 20, 1864. This marriage is listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index website (http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/marriageSearch.do).
Information on Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton is listed in the LDS "Salt Lake Temple Records [for] Sealings for Dead Couples, Book B, 1894-1896" (FHL Special Collections Film # 184588, p.12), which states that on 14 November 1894, Elizabeth Brough was sealed to her deceased husband, Enoch Tipton, in the LDS Salt Lake Temple; that Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 in Longton, Staffordshire, England; that Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835 in Shropshire, England, and died on 21 June 1888; and that Elizabeth and Enoch were sealed by Adolph Madson, and that the sealing was witnessed by George Romney and Elijah F. Sheets. Also, on December 19, 2002, Alison U.B. Allred, an RBFO Genealogist, discovered that the LDS Ward Records for Randolph, Utah (FHL US/CAN Film # 0026439), listed the birth of Elizabeth Brough Tipton as being "17 May 1834." (Elizabeth Brough's LDS baptism and endowment dates are listed in the TIB, FHL Film # 1267255.)
A "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton," written by Delle Snowball McKinnon and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, states the following about her grave marker: Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."
The tombstone of Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton in the Randolph Cemetery (Coordinate: 11-L) in Randolph, Utah, originally listed Enoch Tipton as having died in 1870. This was incorrect because Enoch died in 1888. Prior to Memorial Day in 2003, John M. Brough corrected the date, and Richard L. Brough and James H. Brough reset the tombstone.
According to Warren D. Brough, RBFO Genealogist (and published in the 1988 RBFO book, p.78), Elizabeth Brough was baptized a member of the LDS Church on 17 May 1847. This undoubtedly happened in the LDS Longton Branch of Staffordshire, England.
Elizabeth Brough spelled the surname of her first husband as "Cartlidge", as can be seen in the FHL Temple Index Bureau entry (Film # 184652, page 419) for Mary Jane Cartlidge that reads: "Mary Jane Cartlidge, born 14 Dec 1857, Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Died 1858. Sealed to Enoch Tipton [stepfather] and Elizabeth Brough (Cartlidge) Tipton on 28 February 1895. Heir: Samuel R. Brough. Proxy: Emily E. Brough." Elizabeth Brough married her second husband, Enoch Tipton, on 20 Feb 1864 in Bethalto, Madison Co., Illinois.
History of Elizabeth Brough (1834-1896) and her two Husbands: Samuel Cartlidge and Enoch Tipton. Originally written by Lezlie Ann Anderson and John M. Broughin July 2004; updated by R. Clayton Brough in May 2021.
Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 to Richard Brough and Mary Horleston in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England. She was christened on 1 June 1834 in St. John's Parish Church (of England), Lane End, Longton. In 1840, Elizabeth Brough's father, Richard Brough, had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S. Church), and when Elizabeth was 13 years old she decided to join her father's new-found religion and became the first child of Richard Brough and Mary Horleston to join the L.D.S. Church. Elizabeth was baptized into the L.D.S. Church on 17 May 1847 in the L.D.S. Longton Branch.
On 25 January 1852, Elizabeth married Samuel Cartlidge in St. Peter, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Samuel Cartlidge was christened in 1832 in Longton, Staffordshire). By 1856, she and Samuel, along with her older brother Thomas Brough and his wife Jean (Jane) Paterson and their two children, prepared to leave their native England to emigrate to America, where they wanted to join the rest of the L.D.S. "Saints" in Utah.
On 25 May 1856, Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, along with Thomas Brough and Jane and their two children, left on the ship Horizon, from Liverpool, England. The Horizon was commanded by a Captain Reid, and the "Mormon company" aboard this vessel was under the direction of Edward Martin. Aboard the Horizon there were 692 adults, 136 children and 26 infants, totaling 854 passengers. Thomas and Jane and their children-and possibly Elizabeth and Samuel-paid their own fares and were therefore booked as ordinary passengers, while the majority of the Mormon immigrants aboard were funded by the Perpetual Emigration Fund of the L.D.S. Church. The ship Horizon reached Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, on 30 June 1856.
Shortly after arriving in the northeastern United States, Thomas's money ran out, and he and Jane were forced to stop in Pennsylvania where Thomas then worked just long enough in the surrounding coal mines to obtain enough money to get him and his family to Madison County, Illinois. It is possible that Elizabeth and Samuel went with Thomas Brough and his family to Pennsylvania because Samuel Cartlidge and Thomas Brough were both described as "Coal Miners" in the 1860 Census.
By the middle of 1857, Thomas and Jane Brough had settled in, Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. There Thomas rented a farm, and for the next seven years, from 1857 to 1864, he grew corn and raised hogs and other farm animals. Also in 1857, Elizabeth and Samuel moved to Illinois, where their first child, Mary Jane, was born on 14 December 1857 in Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Unfortunately, Mary Jane's health was very poor and she died the following year, in 1858.
In 1860, Elizabeth and Samuel Cartlidge were living in the same area of Illinois as was Thomas and Jane Brough. According to the 1860 Census, both families were living in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois on 11 July 1860. Two months after the Census was taken, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, Josephine Cartlidge, on 7 September 1860, in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. Unfortunately, in February 1861, Samuel deserted his wife and daughter and reportedly returned to England. On 9 February 1864, Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge. (Note: There is no record of Samuel Cartlidge ever joining the LDS Church.)
On 20 February 1864, Elizabeth married Enoch Tipton in Madison County, Illinois. (Enoch Tipton was born in 1835 in Asterley, Pontesbury, Shroprshire, England, and baptized into the L.D.S. Church in April 1854. Enoch and his brother, Elijah, and Elijah's wife Emma and their one-year old daughter, Sarah, came on the same ship "Horizon" as did Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge. In 1860, Enoch Tipton was residing--along with his widowed mother, Sarah Tipton--in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. In fact, it appears from the 1860 Census report that Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, Thomas Brough and Jean (Jane) Paterson, and Enoch Tipton, all lived in close proximity to each other while they resided in Bethalto, Madison, Illinois. Also, Thomas Brough and Enoch Tipton were living "next door" to each other while residing in Bethalto.)
Sometime between 1864 and 1867, Elizabeth and Enoch Tipton left Illinois for Utah. (Note: Thomas and Jane Brough made the three month trip to Utah between 15 June 1864 and 18 September 1864.) They are considered as being Mormon Pioneers because they arrived in Utah prior to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.
Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton had their first child, Eva Nell, on 2 October 1867 in West Porterville, Utah. In 1871, Elizabeth's younger brother, Samuel Brough, had moved his wife (Elizabeth Bott) and family from Porterville to Randolph. During the summer, Samuel Brough was a farmer and brickmaker, but during the winter he went to Almy, Wyoming to work in the coal mines. Like Samuel Brough, Enoch Tipton may have also done something similar, for Enoch is listed in the 1870 Census as a "Farmer" and in the 1880 Census as a "Coal Miner." On 1 October 1872, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, William Enoch, in Almy, Wyoming.
In the mid 1870's, Elizabeth and Enoch were still residing in Randolph, where their third and last child, John Tipton, was born on 26 March 1875. Unfortunately, John died two days later on March 28.
In the 1880 Census, Elizabeth and Enoch are listed as living in Kaysville, Utah-where Enoch probably assisted Thomas and Samuel Brough at the Brough Brick Yard located in east Kaysville. Also, the 1880 Census reports that their family then consisted of three children: Josephine (Cartlidge), Eva Nell and William Enoch.
Enoch Tipton died on 21 June 1888. Elizabeth Brough Tipton died on 15 February 1896. They were both buried in the center of the Randolph City Cemetery.
