Hi,

Anyone researching the name Rushton from Ashbourne, Derbys or Mayfield, Staffs?

Hi Mike

My Rushtons are from Cauldon which is just up the road from Mayfield so there could be a link somewhere.

Do you have a Charles born 1826?

Hi Mike

No but I do have a Charles born 1822 who I have not been able to trace further.  Could there be a connection?

Tricky one this. Because of the birth year mine only appears on censuses after he is married so there are no parents or siblings that i know of. Also he has moved to Salford/Manchester.

Do you have any parents/siblings for  your Charles?

Roger,

Thanks it does help. These are a different family to mine. My Charles' father was also Charles. There may be a sideways connection that I don't know about yet. Just have to keep plugging away right?

Thanks again,
Mike

Hi
I've just joined rootschat, so only just seen your message.  I have RUSHTONs in Swinscoe, Ellastone and Ashbourne in the 1800s.
Not sure if there's a link, as I haven't got any Charles Rushtons in my tree as yet.

There was RUSHTONS COTTAGE in the village of Calton which was pulled down c.1930.   An account of the cottage and the Rushton family can be found in the book "Calton is my dwelling place" by David Swinscoe
