Title: Lilly & Rosa Rushton - where did they go?
Post by: rutht22000 on Sunday 09 June 13 09:30 BST (UK)

Lilly and Rosa were twins born in 1877 to James Rushton and Ann (formerly Colebourn nee Parsonage).

Their father dies before 1881 and the mother must have died sometime between 1881 and 1891 as the twins are boarders on the 1891 and their other sibling James is in a Orphan Asylum (James later has a family in Wales).

Both girls are then in service in 1901 (Lilly in Liscard, Cheshire and Rosa in Liverpool)

Lilly disappears after this point.   

Rosa converts to Catholicism to marry her husband William James Dutton in 1902; then she disappears too.

Thanks
Ruth

I wonder if they emigrated?

There is a W and Mrs Dutton of the right age in the passenger list. No other information though.


Mrs Dutton age 28 departed Liverpool for Halifax 2 Mar 1905

From lancashirebmd:
Lily RUSHTON marries William COOKE in 1909, West Derby, register office or registrar attended.

Have you checked the 1911 census?

In 1901, Matilda G Spence (housekeeper) is in the same household as Lily Rushton (servant).
