Rush Family
« on: Thursday 20 April 23 14:33 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am trying to trace my Rush ancestors. I have very limited information on them, but hope I may get some help here.
My great, great-grandparents were Edward and Ann Rush (nee McCue/McHugh)
They had two sons, Patrick and Matthew that I know of.
Matthew was my great grandfather.
They may have lived in or around Urney, Co. Tyrone, Patrick was married there, (or at least in the RC Church just over the border in Donegal. He married a MaryAnn McFadyen.
I know that Patrick, MaryAnn, Matthew and Ann all eventually settled in Port Glasgow, Scotland.
Matthew married Jane Whitehill, my great grandmother. They had several sons, one of whom was my grandfather James Rush.
If anyone recognises any of these people, I would be so grateful for any help moving forward, as I am stuck at Edward and Ann.
Many thanks

Hi and welcome to RootsChat  :)

As shanreagh has mentioned, we need a few dates.

For an idea of location, here's the townland of Urney just to the NE of the village of Clady, with the Co Donegal border further to the NW.
