As I have a Rushforth connection I read your message Margaret. However I think you have a mix up with years as one who died in 1864 could not be born in 1881? I will look up my Rushforth connection Valerie

You are correct of course. Apologies. I meant to say that she was born between 1781 and 1785 Martha RUSHWORTH/RUSHFORTH was married to Thomas BREAR in Bradford in 1810. She died in Manningham in 1864, age given as 83, but her age on the 1851 and 1861 census suggested a birthdate of 1785, so she was probably born between 1781 and 1785. Her birthplace on the census was given as Bradford and Manningham. I am 99% sure that she was the daughter of William RUSHWORTH and Susanna WILD who married in Bradford in 1779. Susanna was then a widow. However I have never been able to find MARTHA'S birth to prove the connection.
