Hi all
This looks like a good spot to drop in & say Hello from Australia.
From the information I've been reading, I may have a few connections here,
.
I started researching around January 2008, nothing seems to feed the 'Bug' like new information
.
I suppose I should start with the facts regarding one of my family lines.
On my mothers side;
William Walmsley.b. 1852. Newtown. NSW.Aust
{ Married }
Martha Ann Rushworth.b. 1855. Colne. Eng.
.d. 1914. Petersham. NSW. Aust
Martha Ann & William Walmsley. buried at Rookwood cemetary. NSW
Martha Ann's parents were Joshua Rushworth & Alice Rushworth (nee Simpson) ? for Simpson.
[ this is where things become a little fuzzy on facts. following information is from cross referencing, nothing certified yet ] ?
Joshua's parents. George Rushworth & Martha Rushworth. (nee Halstead )
Joshua, one of eight children.
George Rushworth. b. circa 1802. married in Barnoldswick.
George's father, William Rushworth, no more information or name of wife?
Martha Halstead's parents. John Halstead & Martha Kippax.
no more information re; John Halstead
Martha Kippax. parents John Kippax & Mary (nee Swinden ? )
John Kippax. parents. James Kippax & Susan Nutter.
I am trying to find proof before I become fixed on these lines.
Any pointers would be most welcome, as well as any questions.
Thanks
DanC
ps; questions regarding the air speed velocities of European birds, will take a little longer
