Its extremely likely that all the following names derive from the same original family :
Rustage, Rustige, Rustidge, Rustedge, Rushtich, Rughsich, Roughsich, Roughsedge, Roughsuch etc.
I am trying to put together a chart that shows the links that connect these names up.
If anybody has direct knowledge of a change of name/spelling in their own branch of the family or as a result of their own research could you please post the information here? Typically someone who spells their name one way but knows they have a relative who spelled it differently or different records of the same person but showing different spellings would be the kind of evidence I need.
Note the chart is just to show the name changes - its not the complete family history of all the above names (thats a much bigger project that I am still working on!).
Many thanks
Phil Rustage
(of the branch that went Rainhill->Tabley->Salford->Droylsden->Ashton-u-Lyne)
