Andy you may as well send it to everyone that has offered and see what they can make from it and when others offer then send them it, that way quite a few people will be looking at it Zoe x |

Sorry Dea et al, I have sent an email but didn't realise how large the file was - 10mb!! So it is still in my Symantec Email Scanner being checked. Now, rather than send an individual email to everyone (and so risk blocking my little system) I want to send one email to a number of addresses. Hopefully you'll have it within a few minutes, sorry for the delay. Andy |

No Zoe, He was about their sixth child - he is my direct ancestor which is why I opted for his certificate but perhaps I'll need to buy one or two of the others. Andy |

Maiden name IKS at the end Not sure of starting letter as It should be a capital but cant make out what it is as Scan is not too good when you magnify it tried tweaking colours and everything Will keep trying Zoe |

Hi Andy, With Zoe on this one, does look like carrier or courier, but as she says when magnified it distorts Debs x |

Here they are in 1861. View Record David Rushton abt 1858 Scotby, Cumberland, England Son Wetheral Cumberland View Record Esther Ellen Rushton abt 1853 Scotby, Cumberland, England Daughter Wetheral Cumberland View Record George Rushton abt 1849 Scotby, Cumberland, England Son Wetheral Cumberland View Record Henry Rushton abt 1847 Cockermouth, Cumberland, England Son Wetheral Cumberland View Record James Rushton abt 1860 Scotby, Cumberland, England Son Wetheral Cumberland View Record Mary Ann Rushton abt 1819 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Wife Wetheral Cumberland View Record Mary Ann Rushton abt 1854 Scotby, Cumberland, England Daughter Wetheral Cumberland View Record William Rushton abt 1814 Old Swan West Derby, Lancashire, England Head Wetheral Cumberland View Record William T Rushton abt 1843 Scotby, Cumberland, England Son Wetheral Cumberland Occupation shows as currier - but I would guess it is carrier.
