Hi Derek:
I am not sure if you were asking me about my Green's.
My Green's are from Littleover, Spondon & Michaelover and other closely related towns.
If I can be of assistance let me know.
Send me some names.
Thanks
Gail Kent

Sorry I can't help you with the Harts, but where in Derrbyshire are the Greens who are related to you.
I too am researching Greens, and wondered if there was any link which could be helpful as I am rather stuck.

Regards,

Derek

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???

Hi Everybody, first let me appologise for not replying to you all sooner, but I had problems with my computor and had to take it back to factory settings which meant I lost almost everything, and I;m just getting back on track so now I'll try to reply to you all.
Gailkent..Sorry no Surrey connections for Baker.
Lynnesl0t..again sorry no Kent connections
Rosemary..My Bakers are Emma b 1822 Boxted married Colchester, her father was George, birth year unknown, Emma had brothers Tom born 1824, Jonathan 1821 and Henry 1826, they are the ones I know of so far.
bpking..My Manns are mainly from Colchester.
Xphile2868..My Clarkes are from Wickham Skeith.
Chris Farrall..Not got back that far yet, my earliest Rush was William at Hitcham about 1765, and as I said previously my Clarkes are from Wickham Skeith.
Ringrose..Sorry not found any yet.
Susan.p...These are my pain in the neck, so far all I know is my earliest James Cracknell is from around the Haverhill area, ehere his son (my grt grandfather was born - Joseph) and James had died before 1880.  but I cant seem to find out much at all about this family.
I appologise once again for not replying sooner.

I have Alfred J Clarke, born Lowestoft in 1869 son of James Housego Clarke and Mary anne Hambling. He was one of 8 siblings and the family were involved in the fishing business, I believe. Not much other info about them other than some dates, which happy to supply if useful.

Hi Helpmaboab,  the earliest Clarkes I know of are from Wickham Skeith and are as follows;- Susan/Susannah born 7/7/1797 she married John Hicks and died in Wickham Skeith 3rd Oct 1866 her parents were Edmund Clarke and Deborah Stegal...her siblings I believe were David/Mary/ unsure about any others as yet.. I reached Susan by the Hicks line, and have not investigated too far with the brothers and sisters yet, I dont suppose I've been a lot of help either, sorry
