Cheshire / Re: Farrall family - Chester area
« on: Tuesday 27 June 06 00:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi Sarah

Many many thanks! I had briefly looked at the Cheshire County Council site but had not seen any searchable database there!(bad eyesight or memory loss!).  I am presuming that before 1900 Overleigh Old Cemetery was the main burial site for the city and suburbs such as Upton.
As you say, other family members buried there. I am adding them to my chart.
Thanks again!

Hello Peter
On his second marriage cert. his father's name is given as George William Farrall (as mentioned on my 1st message) but I rather think this was his grandfather. CERTAINLY George William is the father of the "aunts & uncles".
Yes it is quite possible that one of the "aunts" was his mother but I can't be certain. It also seems a possibility that the birth was not registered. I do know that he was confirmed at Upton by Chester and assume he was baptised there too (C of E). On his second marriage (to my mother) in 1950 he gave his age as 45, hence the doubt as to whether he was born in 1904 or 1908 (although he always claimed 9/10/1908 as his d.o.b.)

Suffolk / William RUSH - Cutler - Colcester c.1589-1641
« on: Sunday 25 June 06 22:15 BST (UK)  »
William RUSH (c.1589-1641) was a cutler who lived at St. Botolph's Colchester. His eldest son was also William (1611-1668) who married Anne Stuart. His descendants were brewers and eventually vinegar distillers. I am searching for the ANCESTORS of this first William.
I believe him to be related to Sir Thomas Rush (Russhe) of Sudbourne, Suffolk (c.1487-1537). The reason for this belief is that Sir William Beaumarice RUSH (1750-1833) a descendant of William was succesful in applying for an exemplification of the arms and crest used by the family of Sir Thomas, even though he could not prove descent.
I would be very grateful to hear from anybody who can help or who is researching any part of this family or the the family of Sir John Rush of Streatley, Berkshire.
Incidentally all of the knighthoods in this family were awarded purely for services to the Crown - none of them were hereditary.

Thanks Libby
I did find these people myself in the census and they are possible contenders for relatives, maybe Robert is one and the same as the Robert born 1826.

As far as I know his grandparents were George Wiiliam Farrall (born 4.10.1859) and Caroline Ithell (born1861) who married on 14.12.1880 at St. Thomas's Chruch, St. Oswald's civil parish, Chester.
If this is correct then his aunts & uncles (George Wlliam's children) were:
George (1886-)
Albert (1887-)
James (1891-)
Maude (1881-)
May (1883-)
Lily (1884-)
Florence (1894-)
Beatrice (1896-)
Lily and Beatrice were my "aunts" - they never married and died in Blackley, Manchester, where they lived until the 1960's. The story is that they were my father's aunts in reality and that they brought him up. Hence uncertainty as to his actual parents. It is possible that his mother was a Farrall and that he took her surname or that she emigrated when he was young.
I have never been able to locate a birthe certificate.
His first marriage was to Marjorie Eileen Wade but I cannoit locate the marriage entry. The marriage would have almost certainly been in Cheshire or Lancashire.

Suffolk / Re: My Suffolk Surnames
« on: Sunday 25 June 06 02:14 BST (UK)  »
Re RUSH - I am researching descendants of Sir Thomas Rush of Sudbourne, Suffolk (c.1487-1537). These include a RUSH family who settled in Boreham and another that settled in Eye, from which latter 2 sons (Anthony and Francis) joined The Earl of Essex's "expedition" to Ireland. Anthony was killed in 1599 at the battle of Moyrie Pass and Francis was knighted in Maryborough (now Port Laoise) and granted lands as part of Elizabeth I's plantation policy.
Also researching descendants of William Rush, a cutler, of Colchester (c.1589-1641). His family, principally his grandson Samuel Rush of Southwark, Benhall and Great Gedham (1669-1724/5) became wealthy vinegar distillers. Sir William Beaumarice Rush (1750-1833) was an owner of vast estates in Suffolk, Essex and London.
Re HICKS - a Samuel Rush (died 1783 approx) married a Henrietta Maria Hickes.
Re CLARKE - is this the family of the Revd. Edward Daniel Clarke???
