Research Notes: In the past it had been assumed that Thomas Brough who died in 1819 in Gnosall, Staffordshire, at the age of 84 years old (born about 1735), might also have been the same Thomas Brough who was christened in 1742 in Biddulph, Staffordshire. However in 2020 members of the Research Committee of the Brough Family Organization (www.broughfamily.org) determined that the Thomas Brough who was born about 1735 was more likely to have been the Thomas Brough who was christened in 1735 in Rushton Spencer, Staffordshire, and who was the son of "Mary Burgh alias Mellor". This Mary Burgh--also known as Mary Brough--was christened in 1714 in Rushton Spencer and her father was "Ralph Burke" or "Ralph Brough". Interestingly, the Thomas Brough who was born about 1735 and resided in Gnosall, Staffordshire, also named his second son Ralph Brough.

Research Note: The 1765 marriage record of Thomas Brough and Elizabeth Walter states that Elizabeth was from the parish of "Seighford," Staffordshire, England. However, the only listing for an Elizabeth Walter in Seighford for the period 1730 to 1744 was for an "Elizabeth [who was the] bastard daughter of Mary Walter [and who was] buried" on November 7, 1739. (FHL Film # 1040874.) Another Elizabeth Walter was buried at Haughton, near Seighford, on May 3, 1735 (FHL Film # 1040842). However, an Elizabeth Walter was christened on 26 May 1735 in Gnosall--which is only a short distance from Seighford (5.6 miles) and Haughton (2.8 miles), and a number of "Walter" and "Brough" families resided in Gnosall during the 1700's. BFO researchers presently feel that the Elizabeth Walter christened in Gnosall on 26 May 1735, is the same Elizabeth Walter who married Thomas Brough on 27 May 1765 in Gnosall, Staffordshire, England.
