Well we have had a great time away and we went to Cambridge records first but they didn't have to much in fact no weddings births or deaths of Rust existed so they cant say where the family came from and then to Build Alconbury Hall

 At Huntingdon the same man was there as he was relief duty for that day and so we got out so many books
I found James Rust b 19th august 1798 with his sister Elizabeth b 12th august 1799 both baptized 9th Oct 1799
they had a whole page to themselves not a line and so the man agreed with me they are high ranking
all signed by rob heworth the curate
the parents were James and Margaret (Brown) Rust and they were all from Gransden
Huntingdonshire

I found it very Frustrating that we couldn't find all the 6 children christenings in the Church Record Book and they have not as yet been typed up

We now have Elizabeth/ George (he dies 1876) and his only son George inherits the house/ James he dies 1875/Sarah/William/Frances (she dies 1872)
If anyone else can come up with more info I would be greatfull

Goodmorning
If you have put together a tree have you any info on the Rust side of the family
ie who was Mary Rust and what relation to Lancelot was she
Lancelot's daughter Margaret Brown marries James Rust and they move to Alconbury where they build the House  and their son George inherits it and then his son but it was sold on his death in 1922  the Americans then use it in the war as it is by the Alconbury American airfield.
Do you know more about the rift in the family that My Great Uncle talked of.
I would love to here from you or anybody else that has info on the subject
regards mavis
