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. AMIIE (elec.) 07801 905335
Hi Dave, In the winter of 1900, my great-grandmother Alice Mary COOPER married widower, Samuel BROUGH who was born in Tunstall in 1861 and worked as a Glost Fireman. He had five children from his first marriage to Sophia Forriday; Samuel Brough born 1882, Anna Brough born 1884, Sarah Brough born 1889, James Brough born 1891 and Alice Brough born 1893. In 1901, ALICE and SAMUEL and his five children were living at 26 Williamson Street in Tunstall. I don't know yet if my great-grandmother and Samuel had any children of their own. If you think you could be a descendant from this line please do get in touch.
