1861 Look Up Please

[Meliora]

Hello, Paul,

I have always understood that a burial could not take place without a death cert.

I had wondered whether Alfred had been a second given name & he had dropped the first name, but of all the Rush lookups  found none with an Aflred for first or second.  I also thought about a war death, but  could not think, off hand, of any conflict taking place 1857-'61.  The Crimean war ended in 1856, I suppose he could have been a casualty who died later but there should be a record somewhere for  him.

I have searched the National  Burial Index but there was nothing for him in any county.

I had been looking for Alfred in Rutland, not found anything useful so broadened the search for all counties but only found there were several Alfred's in Suffolk, but how to tell who was the right one, I just don't know.

Sorry to be at a deadend on Alfred.

Hello Paul

It' a long time since you were looking for a marriage of Catherine Stretton and Alfred Rush, but I'm wondering if you have found anything in the meantime.

Louise Rush, daughter of Catherine and Alfred, later became the mother of Alfred Peach Rush I believe. That birth was registered in 1888.

Can you help?

Regards
