Unfortunately death certificates do not always give dates (or rather year) of birth and when it does it is not always accurate. My fathers death certificate give his birth year as 1889 when it is 1891

I have his birth certificate but it is a question of which George.

Ages on headstones are not always accurate.

Fact of the matter is that George Ruston's football details gives his birth place as Longton.

So what your saying is that you have his birth certificate but not his death?

Surely this would be worth obtaining to clarify issues. I appreciate what you say but you could have any George Rushton's birth certificate as there was a couple born around that time. I know you said about the football records etc but they could just be hearsay.

Yes I have his birth certificate and not his death. I have visited the Chanterlands Office records and looked at his burial details which shows he died on 8 Mar 1964 at 3 Harriet's Terrace, Bean Street and was buried on 11 March at Northern Cemetery.

I don't think his death certificate will give you any more details than that.

Not to worry. Like I said before I am not 100% certain and until there is more evidence I will keep it as it is.

I have also said that I have a new contact doing the Chell family. This is the first time I have someone on the Chell side and I hope she can come up trumps. I have not had a response from her for a couple of weeks now. Hope she does get back to me.

I have also said we need to look at the 1911 census. That, hopefully, can provide us with some proof.

I have checked FreeBMD, YorkshireBMD and StaffordshireBMD for the birth of Emily Grace Rushton. She is not listed in any of the lists. Until we can find her birth certificate we do not know who her mother is..just checked YorkshireBMD...she is Emily Grace BELL...not George's daughter at all

I have put together details of Georges playing career which came from Swindon Town records
Playing career:   Leek Broughs, Burslem Port Vale, Barrow, Burslem Port Vale, Brighton and Hove Albion, Hull City, SWINDON TOWN, Brentford, SWINDON TOWN, Goole Town.

I have prepared a biography of George and can send it to you if you contact me direct at victor@markham.me.uk

I have a copy of Emily Grace's birth certificate. There is no father mentioned on the certificate, however her name is recorded as Emily Grace Rushton. She was born on 24th July 1907 at 128 Bean Street. Her mother is named as Gertrude Bell, formally Foulds of no occupation. It was registered on 27th August 1907 in the sub-district of Myton (Hull). Hope this clarifies issues.

I'm interested to get the others. I know my great cousin Linda, Joseph Rushton's daughter is looking into the tree and may have further information.

That is strange.

If the father's name is not recorded then her surname will be Bell which is on the YorkshireBMD and registered in Myton

I have copies of the following birth certificates George(1880) George (1911), Jane (1909) and Joseph (1921)
