Just thought I would mention that Rosa Chell's name is actually Rose Annie - daughter of Ernest and Frances Chell - age 4 months on the 1881 census.The dates certainly tie in with her being 20 when she married George Rushton in 1901.

Thanks for that information. I dont know how I could have missed that as I have the 1881 census on CD. I was aware about Rose Annie in time this became Rosa. So this rules out the 1871 census details of the Chell family sent previously (different parents). I am inclined to think that Rose Annie and George Rushton married in a Catholic Church and couldnt get a divorce because of this. George married his second wife, Gertrude Bell, in 1925 where he was described as a widower. George and Gertrude had at least 4 children born between 1907 and 1921! There could be 2 more as I have not been able to find the birth details of these. They could be either Roas Annie's or Gertrude's children

I am inclined to agree with you that they were married in the Catholic Church.  Louisa Chell who married Arthur Bradshaw was married at St Peters Roman Catholic Church.  Also Boullemier who married Mary Emily Chell also married at that church.  I feel that they must be related, but have as yet been unable to find the link.  Both Rushton and Boullemier played for Port Vale, it all seems to be too much of a coincidence.  If you can find the connection please let me know.

Interesting what you say about Arthur Bradshaw marrying Louisa Chell. From the BVI2 I have come across James Bradshaw son of John Bradshaw marrying Maria Rushton in St James, Longton on 13 April 1889. Looks as if the Bradshaw, Chell and Rushton families are inter linked. I don't know who Maria's father is so have no connection to Maria.

Hi Victor
I have been looking on Staffordshire BMD and have found that Arthur Bradshaw and Louisa Chell  had a civil marriage in Stoke, and not catholic as I thought.  I also noticed a link with John Bradshaw and Maria Rushton its a pity we cannot find definite links.  I also found that I have made a mistake with Boullemier, who played for Port Vale, did not in fact marry a Chell, I verified this on Staffordshire BMD.  I will keep looking for the link between the families, perhaps at the end of this it will not even be my Bradshaws.

Hi, in case this is of interest to you, my grandmother has been doing some research into her family history, she is the great grandaughter of the first Louisa Chell who married Max Henk (I believe).
Their daughter Louisa (Louie?)married Arthur Bradshaw. I am not sure how many children the pair had but one of them was Laura, who married Fred Jones and had four children, one of whom is my grandmother who has 3 siblings (1 deceased).

I believe the sister of the second Louisa Chell, or possibly of Laura Jones, married a man named Singh.

Thanks for your message. I have come across the names you have mentioned and will do another look. It is sometime since I have looked into the CHELL family so will have tyo check things up again. I wonder if Louisa is related to Rose Hannah who married George Rushton

Hi there

I tink you have all your facts wrong. George and Gertrude's first child was born in 1907 and called Emily Grace. They then had another five children, jane, viloet, rebecca, george and joseph. Trust me, i'm related and asked my great aunt, grand daughter of george rushton. Plus i dont think that he did marry rose annie chell as the father of george is different on both the married to her and the marriage to gertrude

sorry
