    Because in all matters between those greater of birth and those lesser, and between the powerful and the powerless, testimonies to deeds have been found necessary to free them from litigation, therefore let it be known to both the greater and lesser men of the whole of the honour of Stafford and may it shine forth in their memories, that Nicholas de Stafford, when still a young man, granted to Noel by right of inheritance, and similarly afterwards to Robert his son, the land of Ronton and Cokeslone in fee, and by the service of half a manor, and of half a knight, and at the service of lord Nicholas’s own shield, and free from all ward and upkeep of the Castle; Afterwards, morover, lord Robert came by inheritance from his father successor to the honour of Stafford by hereditary right, by the grace of God, and granted this agreement which his father had granted to Noel and to Robert son of Noel, that it should be known to all men, by his grace; and that the said lord Robert after the death of his father has given to Robert son of Noel land which is next to Gnowshale &c. These being witnesses, Nicholas son of Nigel, Ralph son of Brian, &c.

    Robert de Stadford to Thomas Noel (grant of) the land of Ranton and of Cokeslaine and the land of Burgh which is next to Gnoweshale (Gnosall), by the service of half a manor, that is of half a knight to the service of my own shield; all this for the service of his ancestors and for homage, and money, to wit 30 marks (£20) which Noel grandfather of Thomas gave to lord Nicholas my father, I grant.

William Broughe

In December 2013, members of the Research Committee of the Brough Family Organization carefully reviewed the parish register of Carsington (FHL Film # 1042095, Item #8), and determined that "Willm Broughe" was christened on "14 November 1599" in Carsington, as: "Willm Broughe s[on of] Henrie Broughe [a] minn [miner by occupation] and Ellen h[is] w[ife]".

The christening of a William Brough is listed in the online Carsington parish register at: http://www.dfhs.org.uk/?id=carsington, which states that he was christened on 12 November 1599 and that his parents were Henry and Ellen Brough.

Research Note: During the 1600's, a number of Brough individuals and families who lived in the agricultural areas of northern Staffordshire moved to the towns/cities of Trentham, Longton, Burslem and Stoke-upon-Trent.  It is possible that William Broughe, the father listed on this Family Group Record, also moved from the agricultural area of Carsington, Derbyshire during the early 1600's and eventually settled in Trentham, Staffordshire.  (The travel distance between Carsington and Trentham is only about 37.5 miles.)   Also, it is possible that this couple had additional children born/christened in other geographical areas between 1634 and 1638.  The current genealogical connection (shown herein) between William Brough, chr. 1631 in Trentham, and William Broughe, chr. 1599 in Carsington, Derbyshire, is based on patronymical analysis and radius-distance searches of the IGI and LDS Ordinance Index (via the LDS Extraction Program).  Needless to say, the RBFO Research Committee is currently conducting additional research into this possible genealogical association.
