IGI has this

Mary <Rush> 
  Christening:  09 MAR 1839   Scopwick, Lincoln, England
  Father:  Abraham Rush  Family
  Mother:  Jane     

Unfortunately, the 1841 Scopwick census is faint and, although I did spot some RUSHes, I didn't find Abraham.

1851 has
2100/164
38 Town, Scopwick
Abraham RUSH 34 AgLab
Jane 34 Cranwell
Mary 12 Scholar
William 10 Scholar
Jane 9 Scholar
Elizabeth 7
Ann 5
Abraham 3
Richard 1
All others born Scopwick.

By 1861, they had added Charlotte ( and Harriett (5).

Geoff .Many thanks for reply it proves I am on the right trackwith Abraham I think I might have a problem with Jane as I believe she came from Ireland. Alan

I think I might have a problem with Jane as I believe she came from Ireland.

Why do you think that?  Both 1851 and 1861 censuses say she was born Cranwell, only about 5 miles from Scopwick.

Free BMD has this possibility (but they are the only two names on that page)

Marriages Sep 1837
~~~~~~~~
GREY  Jane    Sleaford  14 637   
RUSH  Abraham     Sleaford  14 637

The IGI has these baptisms in Cranwell about the right time (but no Jane)

1. MARY GRAY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 21 MAY 1826 Cranwell, Lincoln, England
 
 2. THOMAS GRAY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 05 DEC 1820 Cranwell, Lincoln, England
 
 3. JAMES GRAY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 06 APR 1823 Cranwell, Lincoln, England
 
 4. ANN GREY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 26 JUL 1818 Cranwell, Lincoln, England
 
All were children of Thomas and Mary Gray/Grey.

Of course, if you have an overwhelming urge to sample some Guinness, you could chase the Irish connection!

Hi Geoff
Its my wifes side of the tree and she can remember her grandfather talking about his grandmother smoking a clay pipe and talking with an Irish accent.not much to go on though could be a red herring but she is the last arm of the tree left. I know Janes fathers name was Thomas re marriage cert,  witness was Ann Grey could be her sister. I do not Know if Thomas is on the 1851 census for Cranwell  Lincs could you be so good as to have a look please.

Thanks Sue.I was living in hope of  an in-law living with them during the census.I have been lucky before with censuses ,When I come down again I will have to go to Archives to check for Janes father Thomas Grey in Cranwell parish records to see if he was married in that parish.

I think there is another (older?) Abraham Rush at the bottom of the same page in 1841, but I cannot make out his age or wife's name.

suepip - where did you get Vicarage House from? That column is totallyl blank in my census! 

There is a Thomas Gray in Scopwick in 1851

2100/163
Scopwick
Thomas GREY 67 AgLab, Scopwick
Sarah 58 Scopwick
Hannah (dau) 24 Dressmaker, Ashby de la Laund
Collison (g-son) 15 AgLab, Scopwick

(Ashby is halfway between Scopwick and Cranwell.)

The same Thomas with a different wife?
