"John de Burgh" may have been the brother of "Richard de Burgh" and the father of "John Burgh" (b.abt.1487) who was mentioned in the 2014 research report by Ann Brough Hind, as follows: In February 2015, Ann Brough Hind stated the following to the Brough Family Organization (BFO) in her 2014 research report entitled "A 15th Century Royal Grant of Lands in Staffordshire, Derbyshire & Elsewhere": "An early C16th ]16th Century] raid by Fryth [Leekfryth, Staffordshire] men on a Farm at Cheddyltun included John Burgh of Middlehulme at 31 [years old] and John Burgh of Middlehlume at 22yrs [years old]. [Possibly] Uncle and nephew...born in Middlehulme in 1487 and 1498 and matching the whole family recorded there in the 1532 Archdeacon's Census of the Fryth...."
Research Note: In 2015, some members of the BFO Research Committee suggested that John de Burgh (b.abt.1147) of Staffordshire and Westmorland, had a brother, Hamon de Burgh (b.abt.1145) who was of Ranton, Staffordshire, and a grandson, Hamo (or Hamon) de Burgh (b.abt.1222) who was of Burrow, Westmorland. It is known that later descendants of the Burghs or Broughs from Staffordshire and Westmorland--including those who lived in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire--displayed identical Arms (or shields) containing "five swans". Also, marriages have been documented between prominent individuals who lived in Westmorland and Staffordshire during medieval times--include the 1300's marriage of Ralph Neville--1st Earl of Westmorland, to Margaret Stafford--eldest daughter of Hugh Stafford who was the 2nd Earl of Stafford.
Research Note: The name of "John de Burgh" is based on family patronymics, which suggests that his given name may have been "John"--as his son was named "John de Burgh" and his grandson was named "John de Burgh the younger".
