FAMILY HISTORY: NORRIS
THE FAMILY OF MARTHA RUSHTON
| Mary Rushton was the daughter of William Rushton (born c. 1833) and Betsy Wallwork (born c. 1834), who were married at
St Mary's Church in Eccles, Lancashire in Salford. Mary was born c. 1860 but I have not yet found her baptism record. William Rushton died in 1868 aged 35 years. The only other information I have at this time comes from the 1881 Census: |
