Thank you Brian for this info.My mother is
Alice Rushbrooke a child of Henry George Rushbrooke who came to the U.S. as a child.
Henry (grandpa) was about 53 when he married my grandma Nellie Williams who was about 15, he had a grown family prior to his marriage to my grandma, his 1st wife died. My mom had an older brother Oather, and a younger sis. Helen. Do you know how we are related to the Rushbrooke's who owned the Rushbrooke Hall? I am trying to get some info that a cousin of mine had gotten years ago, it was said that our family was bankers and lost their fortune and was given an island off of Va. to live but they didn't like it so they went to W.Va., does any of this info sound like you have heard it before?I thought our ancestors were aristocrat's, have you any
knowledge of this? Any info you can give me
would be much appreciated. Thank you. Joyce
