Find Ancestors

Thank you very much for all your help

I will continue looking into this. I have just sent for Phoebe and Elizabeth Ann Rushworth birth certs so I will see what they say.

All the best

Joseph Rushworth Head Married Male 64 1787 Cloth Dresser Leeds, Yorkshire, England Transcription
Leah Rushworth Wife Married Female 72 1779 Shroud Maker Leeds, Yorkshire, England Transcription

For age info.............................

The only baptism for Jonathan with a father Joseph in West Yorks on Ancestry is in Huddersfield in 1817 - far too early and he was consistent in saying he was born Leeds (or Gildersome as per 1851)

Who witnessed his marriage to Elizabeth? Any clues there?

EDIT

Checked the cert on Ancestry

Father was a Cloth Dresser and one of the witnesses was Joseph Rushworth

Address for bride and groom was Mabgate

Joseph & Leah's marriage after Jonathon's birth. Perhaps he was actually Rushforth and not Rushworth?

They would be the right age so they could be his parents. I will have to investigate that Joseph and Leah family and see what I can find out about them

All the best

Thanks ErikaH

Yes that is my family. I am really trying to find out where the family originated from.

I cannot find Jonathan with his Dad.Joseph. I got his name from Jonathan's marriage cert. I can find him with a Joseph and Martha on the 1841 but i am not convinced these two are Jonathan's brother and sister.

There is a Joseph Rushworth and Ann Holmes who had a Martha 1813 and Joseph 1819 but I cant find a Jonathan with a father called Joseph. I was hoping to get a clue from where Jonathan has been living to narrow down the search for Joseph. But I am not having much luck at the moment

Thanks again for all your help

Looking at 1871, the occupation is right for Jonathan - I wonder if he gave his birth year instead of his age? And the same for his wife................

This marriage then..................

Marriages Jun 1850 (>99%)
Faubert Elizabeth Leeds 23 458
Rushworth Jonathan Leeds 23 458

But the couple on 1871 are far too young to have married in 1850, so that's not the right William

sorry my fault I am getting myself in a mess.

It was Elizabeth fawbert.

Sorry

Jane

No marriage for Jonathan Rushworth and anyone named South

Two possible births for William - of course, his birth may not have been registered.

This doesn't tally with your info about his parents - or is there another one of the same age with a father Jonathan?

Thanks for trying I have tried familysearch and found nothing but I do not have access to ancestry.

Thanks for looking for me.

Jane

Nothing on Ancestry's West Yorkshire records

Have you tried familysearch, which is free?

Please can someone see if they can find a baptism record for William Rushworth born 1862 in leeds. His parents were Jonathan Rushworth and Elizabeth Fawbert.
Thanks

Jane
