Illegitimate, so you can only follow the maternal line........................IF it's the right person



LUSH, MARY 67
GRO Reference: 1840 S Quarter in SHAFTESBURY Volume 08 Page 49

Buried 6th July............however, FMP links this death to a baptism for Mary Lush in 1773, so you need the cert to determine if it's Henry's wife

You could try the Search facility top right of this page.

Search, then Search all members trees. input a name you're interested in and basic area, nothing too specific often helps). If you find somebody else researching the person/people you're interewsted in you can send them a message through the Genes system. If they have the same email address they registered with GR then they will be notified there is a message oin the system for them.

You the keep your fingers crossed you get a reply - there might be various reasons someone can't or doesn't want to reply unfortunately.

Welcome to the boards Jo.

It would help us to help you if you gave us a little bit more information about the family.

What are the first names of people you are trying to trace, when/ where they were and let us know what you are particularly interested in finding out.

What other information do you have about the family to help us start looking for you. D

Do you have the family in a census which you can post.
