Dear David, I am descended from Lewis BROUGH and his wife Priscilla HOOD, who were married at St John's, Burslem, on 12th September 1830. Lewis, baptized on 16th April 1809, was the son of John Brough and Sarah. Sarah's maiden name "may" have been LEWIS, which would explain the first name of my ancestor, and if so, she and John were married on 8th September 1801 in Stone. Lewis had at least one sibling, another John, baptized at Burslem on 23rd December 1804. Hope this helps, Graham Pointon (Letchworth Garden City) -----Original Message----- From: Dave Brough [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 January 2003 14:11 To: [email protected] Subject: New Enquirer Hello, I am a member of the rootsweb, and have viewed lots of other mails form all over looking for different people. I am trying to look at my ancestry and have not got very far as some of my family are not around to ask about recent events. My Surname is BROUGH and my family originate from Burslem in the Potteries, I know that my immiediate family moved to Bradwell and some of my Mothers side still live in that area. Are there any People out there who have run into the Brough or Waterhouse Name ( my mothers maiden name) in the Burslem area ? Can anyone point me inthe right direction to look for records or references to trace these people. Any help would be much appreciated. David Brough Eng.Tech.

Many thanks for all your help with the names Brough and Waterhouse, it seems ive got some more digging to do. My Grandfather Jack (John) Brough lived in Burslem Married to Ethel (i don't know her maiden name) Ethel died in 1980ish (i am sorry but i said i need to more gigging) and Jack Died in 1989. Both were not born for the 1901 cencus. They had two sons Derek and Graham. Derek is a retired Toolroom fitter and Graham is a retired account manager. On the Waterhouse side, my mother has a brother and sister, Barbara and Edward, Barbara married a Derek Hill and Edward married a Sheila (don't know maiden name) Barbara lives in Wolstanton and Edward lives in Birches Head. Is this anymore info for you guys to see if i'm interlinked with your trees? ----- Original Message ----- From: Graham Pointon <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 4:42 PM Subject: RE: New Enquirer > Dear David, > > I am descended from Lewis BROUGH and his wife Priscilla HOOD, who were > married at St John's, Burslem, on 12th September 1830.

David, I think you're going to have to bite the bullet and fork out for some certificates (at £6.50 each soon to go up). Does your father (assuming he's one of the sons you mention) have a copy of the death certificates? From the oldest child's birth, you can probably work out approximately when they were married, and from that to a marriage certificate is fairly easy. From some time in the 1920s, they were cross-referenced, so that it's not too difficult to find the spouse of a person. From the marriage certificate, you can discover the probable birth dates, and you also have the father's name on the certificate. If you're within reach of the Family Records Centre in London (Myddelton House in Islington), then you can probably do all this within a day. If it means a day trip to London, then the FRC is open on Saturdays. I hope this isn't all elementary stuff that you already knew. If it is, please ignore me! Brough is the maiden name of my father's grandmother, so it's a line I haven't pursued very diligently, but if you and I connect in the late 19th century, then I've got all the names at least of Broughs who are connected back to the Lewis Brough I mentioned before, which I've taken from the 1881 census.
