No christening record has been found for Richard Bruff, but the only Bruff family having children in the right time period was the family of Francis and Mary Brough of Wombourn, a parish about five miles from Tettenhall. They had these children christened in Wombourn: Elizabeth, christened 19 April 1684, and William, christened 22 April 1687. Perhaps this is Richard's family.

Another Brough family had children in Wombourn - John Brough married Jane Johnson 15 April 1706 in Wombourn, then had children Mary, christened 16 January 1707 and John, christened 25 November 1711, both in Wombourn.
