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". The marriage was witnessed by Richard Woolley, John Smith and William Clark.

The burial of "Elizabeth Horleston" is listed in the parish register of Bucknall, Staffordshire (FHL Film # 1278909, Item #6), which states that she was buried on 17 October 1843 when she was 75 years old (born about 1768). 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. In addition, an "Estate Duty Death Reference" notice (FHL Film # 1485063), states that "Elizabeth Horleston" was "of Stoke-upon-Trent", that she died on 14 October 1843, that her Will was dated 13 December 1829, that she had a "Leasehold [of a] Cottage at Whetley Moor [Wetley Moor] which expires at the death of [her] son William", and that the Executors were: William Horleston--her son, Richard Horleston--her son, and Mary Brough--her daughter.

Extensive research by the Brough Family Organization has found NO reliable reference or documented source to support the claim that a "John Sparrow"--who reportedly was the landowner of some property that Elizabeth leased for a number of years--was ever the husband of Elizabeth Hollison.
"Elizabeth Hollison" is listed in FamilySearch Tree, PID#: L66F-T1K.

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.

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.

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 about 1851, Ellen Brough had a daughter, also named Ellen Brough (1851-1918), who was born in Westminster, London. Ellen (the daughter) was possibly the daughter of John Ogden (1811-1871), as she stated in her marriage record of 1868 that her father was “John Ogden” a “Traveller”.
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/ .

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.

In the 1881 Census, the wife of Richard Brough, "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. Note: Richard Brough has not yet been found in the 1881 Census.
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. Unfortunately he could not find the grave of Rosannah Brough (nee Myatt) and/or her husband, Richard Brough.
The christening of Rosannah Myatt is listed in the parish register of St. John, Lane End (Longton), Staffordshire (FHL Film # 1471086, p. 65), which states that she was christened on 23 May 1824 as the daughter of Thomas Myatt and Jane.

(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.

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/ .
