Hi
I am trying to find where Patrick Rush was born. He was born about 1838.In the 1881 British census says he was born Mayo county. His wifes name was Bridget Meeghan. I think they were married about 1860ish. All a bit vague but it's all I have.
Thanks
Phil.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your reply. Patrick and Bridgett moved to Liverpool about 1865. They had 2 sons before they emigrated. They were Thomas born 1860 and Charles born 1861. Patrick was a Tailor. There were 5 daughters all born in Liverpool. Does this help to identify the family or perhaps link with your research.
Regards
Phil.

Hi Phil,
Patrick was my great-great-great grandfather and I was named after him. I have a picture of his tombstone (located in Salida, Colorado) and it states he was born in Roscommon, Ireland on May 4, 1832 and died on September 17, 1885. Many members of the Rush family are buried in Salida including Patrick's son, Charles (my great-great grandfather) and his grandson William (my great grandfather). I am unfamiliar with much history prior to Patrick, but I know a little about the time afterwards.
-
Hello Patrick, I'm afraid your Patrick is not the Patrick I am interested in as I know he never went to the U S A.
Thanks anyway
Phil.

I have checked listings for kilmovee parish records and found the following:

17 January
Martin Rush married a Bridget Meeghan
Witnesses: William Meeghan/ ? Hopkins
No townlands listed in the above record.
May be of some use to you. But as I have found - that sometimes you can be lead up the wrong path with records!!

More listings of children for Martin Rush/Bridget Meeghan - marriage info as above:
1. Domnick, born 4 Aug 1861 (sps Thomas Tully, Catherine Meeghan - Magheraboy)
2. Maria - born 5 Dec 1863 (sps Martin Meeghan, Bridget Meeghan - Magheraboy)
3. William - born 7 July 1866 (sps Margaret Meeghan, Thady Coffey - Magheraboy)
4. Catherine - born 26 Sept 1869 (sps Domnick Rush, Bridget Molloy - Magheraboy)
5. Bridget - born 14 July 1871 (sps William Meeghan, Bridget Meeghan - Magheraboy)
6. Martin - born 25 Nov 1876 (sps William Rush, Mary McCann - Magheraboy)
7. Thomas - born 6 Oct 1878 (sps not listed)
The Rush name was very prominent in Magheraboy 100-150 years ago, so most likely all households were related way back. Maybe some of the names might ring a bell with you? Also, family could have emigrated and further children born in the UK? I have been caught out with census' before as I have found that some of my ancestors told little white lies regarding their age etc., (think they were playing things close to their chest). My g grandfather knocked 15 years off his real age during the 1901 census in Ireland!!

Hi Phil
The Patrick you mention here is my Gr Gr Grandather and son Charles is my Gr Grandfather. I've only just discovered this so any more information you have about them would be appreciated. I have 1871 & 1881 census records for Patrick and 1891 & 1911 for Charles
Thanks

Hi Kevin
Your message is rather old, so I don't know if this will get to you. My grandmother was Mary (Rush) Egan, born in Kilbeagh Parish, near Swinford in 1900. There was a total of 10 children in my grandmother's generation, most born after her, and most emigrated (to the NYC area in the US). Her youngest brother, Peter, stayed in Mayo, but I know that my great-grandmother (Ellen Rush) died near Leeds England in the 1930s or 1940s, so I suspect my Uncle Pete moved there at some point.
In the 1901 census, my grandmother Mary Rush was listed as 11 months old. Her mother was Ellen Rush, 27 years old, and her father was Thomas Rush, 46 years old. Other older children listed were James (4) and Katrina(2). Seems they lived with our great grandfather's mother, a Mary Rush who was 78 at the time. She's listed as "head of household." In another random file for Swinford Mayo, there is a list of people born in 1866, shows a "Martin Rush" born to James Rush and Mary Higgins Rush. That could likely the same Mary Rush in the 1901 census (and I do think I heard of the name Higgins in my family before). My great grandfather was 46 in 1901, that means he would have been born in 1855, so this Martin could have been his baby brother, born 11 years later. Mary Higgins Rush would have been 43 at the time, possibly still of child-bearing age.
I'm still investigating. Incidentally, the 1901 and 1911 census data for Mayo is gradually going on line this year, so you may want to try renewing your search if you're still interested.

Hello
I am currently looking at Thomas Rush born 1878 who was the son of Martin Rush and Bridget Meehan of Magheraboy in County Mayo, Ireland. Do you know if it was this Thomas Rush who married Bridget Griffin of Ballinrumpa, Kilmovee, Mayo in 1902.
Thanks.

Difficult.
It looks as though it could be the same man but there are a lot of Martins. :-\
Birth

There is a death here for Martin Rush, Magheraboy in 1898. He is a widower.

Death for Bridget Rush - informant Patrick, son. Is this the wife of Martin, though?

Hello Heywood
Thank you for the reply. I had some of that information.
I have been doing more checking and I think I have Thomas Rush in correct family.
We know he was alive in 1911 in Ballinrumpa and I have found the other 2 Martin's of Magheraboy each with their Thomas's in 1911.
The Martin Rush you found a death for in 1898 is the correct one. Informant was Martin Henry. He looks like the brother of Martin's son Dominick's wife. Dominick married Catherine Henry of Culmore.
The Bridget that died with an informant Patrick does not look like Martin's wife Bridget but I have found a Bridget Rush who died on 28 February 1892 married with a son William as the informant.
I will go with this for now.
Thanks again

Hi, the Rush family is actually in my wifes tree but she hasn't done any work on it for several years. I did have her tree on my computer but my hard drive went down last year and I lost everything. She did have paper copies of some of her research but that has been put away in our loft. Unfortunately I had a tripple heard bypass a few weeks ago so I am unable to get into the loft to find it at the moment.
Sorry I could'nt be of more help.
Regards
Phil.
