Barnabas Brough (c. 1795 – 30 October 1854), was a British merchant and accountant who wrote several plays under the pen name, Bernard De Burgh.
[2][3] Brough married Frances "Fanny" Cargill Whiteside on 9 July 1825 at St Marylebone Parish Church in London.
Brough relocated to Pontypool, Monmouthshire in the early 1830s, where he would operate a brewery and sell wine to area merchants.
The ensuing violence, known as the Newport Rising, was a chapter in the ongoing struggle between the British government and a group of reformists called Chartists.
As Barnard de Burgh, Brough wrote several plays including, Davy Jones, or, The Welch Psalm Singer: a Gilpinic Tale and I Won't Go, or, How to Keep a Place: a Dramatic Sketch in One Act.
