Well!
that is a good result!
So Maria is yours!
But father is still unclear...to be honest I dont think you will find that one!
She may well have put Joseph William Rushton/Ruston down merely out of respectability!
And the fact he is not on the birth cert speaks volumes to me.
So I can look up that entry she probably went to the workhouse to have the baby so there may be more info....I will stick it on the list!
here is where we are up to but the marriages now going back need verifying..
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =324141884I am struggling placing a marriage for Joseph Ruston and a Jane unknown.
I think that Joseph is b abt 1821 and may be son of Daniel. But not too sure here...
Jane is b abt 1826 so who is she?
Where is the marriage?
On the 1861 census there is a mother for Joseph ruston living with them age 69 b 1792
I wondered if this might be the wife of Daniel Ruston- Mary Whital b 1793 a Daniel dies sept qtr 1861- but that could be when it was registered ie he died pre census....April? and then regis July Aug Sept as that Mary is widow on 1861 census
so need to find Daniel and Mary on 1861 to eliminate
