  Father	William Lough,   b. 1739
  Mother	Jane Graham,   b. 1740
  Marriage	11 Jul 1761	Long Newton,,,Count Durham,England   [10, 11, 12, 13]
  	There was a marriage bond signed between William Lough and his prospective father-in-law Ralph Graham in the amout of 200 pounds, which seems like an enormous amount of money for the time. However this money would not have been paid, it was the sum to be paid if there was found to be an impediment to the marriage. From "Genealogy: Think of a marriage bond as an intention to marry" downloaded from https://www.tribstar.com/news/lifestyles/genealogy-think-of-a-marriage-bond-as-an-intention-to/article_0d4c0f38-f3a7-5e83-a556-e75bbaca2bd4.html" on April 11, 2020: "Think of a marriage bond as an intention to marry — a reflection of an official "engagement." A man who had proposed to a woman went to the courthouse with a bondsman (often the father or brother of the prospective bride), and posted a bond indicating his intention to marry the woman. The bond was an amount of money that the prospective groom would have to pay as a penalty if an impediment to the marriage was found. No money literally changed hands at the time of posting the bond. But if the groom was discovered, for instance, already to have a wife whom he had abandoned, the marriage could not go through and the man would have to pay (I've often seen bonds in the sum of 50 dollars or pounds, but the amount could be as high as $1,000)." _HTITL: Husband _WTITL: Wife

  Downloaded from http://www.blanchlandhistory.org.uk/poetry/lough.php on Matrch 20, 2020. William Lough is mentioned as follows: One other interesting record which has come to light is an 1831 article from "The New Sportsman" magazine, in which the author who is visiting the area for the grouse shooting, tells of a chance meeting on the road to Blanchland... "By degrees, we learned that his name was Lough, and to the inquiry if he was any relation to the Sculptor of that name, he replied, scratching his head - "Why yes, I believe I'm his father, at least so they tell me." At this point, John Graham Lough had been working in Rome for three years; he'd probably not seen his parents for some time! ...... The grouse shooter continues his account with their arrival in Blanchland: "A very excellent Inn is kept here by Mr Blenk, where the sportsman finds every accommodation and attention. Lough occupies a small neat cottage about 50 yards out of the square, to which having accompanied him, he showed us several of the earlier productions of the son, and related several instances of his talent; but we were unable to learn from him, that any former member of the family had exhibited a similar genius. "There is another son who, I understand, has since turned his attention to the arts, but who had not then discovered in what department of science his genius reposed."
