The approximate birth year of Robert Brough has been listed by the RBFO as "About 1613", based on the fact that Robert had a daughter, Anne, christened in Leek in 1636, and that the Leek parish register began recording christenings in 1634 and marriages in 1635. So if Robert was born about 1613, and was at least 21 when he married Catherine, then they would have gotten married in "About 1634", and had their (possible) first children, Anne, in 1636.
Research Note: The IGI (via LDS Patron submission) lists an approximate birth-year for Robert Brough as being "About 1616", and his LDS proxy baptism was performed on 28 Jun 1921 in the LDS Salt Lake Temple by Samuel R. Brough (1857-1947), and his LDS proxy endowment was performed on 21 February 1923 in the LDS Salt Lake Temple.
The burial of "Rob. Brough" is listed in the parish register of Leek, Staffordshire (FHL Book: 942.46, B4pr, v.13, page 35), which states that he was buried on 13 April 1640 and that he was "of Rochgrange".
Historical Note: In April 2009, Catharine Ann Brough Hind provided the RBFO with the following information about Robert Brough: "Robert evidently died suddenly and unexpectedly as he left no Will, but [he was buried on 13 May 1640 and] I have his Inventory, made on 13 May 1640, which was taken and priced by Thomas Brough, Gentleman, and Edmund and Robrt Brough of Brownsett/sword, and William Wardle and Thomas Brindley of Mixne. The inventory is a long one and aside from livestock, farming equipment and contents of the house some interesting things are: six paires of cheeses, three window cloths (curtains), great timber spars and boards, iron ware, iron bakestone, corn and malte in the barn--as he evidently roasted barley for malt for brewing beer, the principal drink at all meals and safer than water straight from the supply by the door.... On 28 April [1640], an Administration was granted to his widow Catherine and to Thomas Brindley."
The approximate birth year of Catherine (Brough) has been listed by the RBFO as "About 1613", based on the fact that Catherine had a daughter, Anne, christened in Leek in 1636, and that the Leek parish register began recording christenings in 1634 and marriages in 1635. So if Catherine was born about 1613, and was at least 21 when she married Robert Brough, then they would have gotten married in "About 1634", and had their (possible) first children, Anne, in 1636.
"Catherine Brough" is listed in the 1641 Will of "Catherine Brough of Leek", dated 30 April 1641, Lichfield Consistory Court, Staffordshire, England, and descrtibed in the RBFO Research Reports of David Bethell of Staffordshire, England (dated 13 October 1977, p.29), which lists "Katherine Brough of Roachgrange in the parish of Leeke, Widdowe, sicke of body", and her children as "Ann my daughter", "my sonne William", and "my three youngest children", and that "Thomas Brough of Wynneyates gent' and Robert Brough of Brancote yoman" were her "ouerseers" and that "Robert Brough of Brownsford in the County of Stafford yoman and John Hulme of Thornecliffe in the aforesaid County yoman" were her "sole executors".
The burial of "Cath. Brough" is listed in the "Leek Parish Register" book by the Staffordshire Parish Register Society of 1919 (FHL Book # 942.46, B4pr., Volume 13, page 43), which states she was buried on 3 May 1642 as "Cath. Brough of Rochgrange, widow". However, the parish register film for Leek, Staffordshire (FHL Film # 1040765) states that "Cath. Brough" was buried on 3 May "1641".
