The home of RUSHWORTH

This is the home page of Edward (or Ted) RUSHWORTH , aged 83, who moved to Edinburgh with his wife Anne in 2008. The website and domain name was the 1998 Christmas gift of our three children and son-in-law, Brian, to whom many thanks. It has been used to develop my interests, especially in genealogy on the RUSHWORTH surname and its variants including RUSHFORTH, RISHFORTH, and RISHWORTH.
