Title: The Rushes
Post by: fbambrick1944 on Sunday 01 May 05 13:41 BST (UK)

Does anyone know anything about "The Rushes"?  A John & Margaret (Fanning) Bambrick were married in Arles in 1825, & were from this area.

my great grandparents came from The Rushes they were living there until about 1900. It's been a very difficult place to find anything about the  village only about 30 families lived there I've got the name of the RC church they used somewhere in my notes
