Hi Jane
Coming from Leeds myself I always look for my relatives after 1837 on the Yorkshire BMD. Its a free site and I have found your Martha there on the
1841 births born Leeds North it also gives you their birth registration number
just in case you want or need to order their birth, marriage or death certificate.
Very helpful and a good backup if you find other information
Looked at the 1881 census and they are still in Boynton Street but have moved to number 50. Joseph is 62, Eliza is classed as 63, their daughter is
Martha and is aged 39 and she has her 2 children with her who are
Joseph K Hepton, aged 8 born Leeds and Margaret A Hepton aged 9 born Leeds. Cant remember when I was young any Rushworths but definitely remember people called Hepton.
Also to let you know that around the beginning of the 1880's there was alot of typhoid or typhus in the Leeds area and alot of people died at whatever age in those days.
All the best from another Loiner (for the uninitiated someone born in Leeds)
regards Sandymc
Midgley, Fowler, Chadwick, Kilvington, Routledge, Hewitt, Stevenson, Ward, Waite, Binks , Buck, Pearson, Stanley, Firth, Child, Hobson, Rogers, all Leeds and Yorkshire for centuaries except the Routledges from Wigton, Cumbria and Middlesbrough. Related to McAllisters of Wilsontown
