Name:Jane Sherris email:jsherris@lightspeed.bc.ca Surname: SHERRIS, RUSH, PARKER Query: Hi I am trying to find info on William RUSH who married Minnie PARKER.They married abt 1901 and had children born in the Minedosa area. Frederick married Evie Mary, Murtle married Henry Harry SHERRIS, William married Gladys Wes, Ada married William Armstrong, Jack TAYLOR, Edith Roseland married Eric MARCHBANK. I do not wish to post birth date of the children as some are still living.I think that William RUSH is the son of Richard Ireland and E Mary RUSH whom in 1901 were living in the Lansdowne sub district. It gives William jrs birthplace as Ontario So far I have found no trace of PARKERs anywhere near here. The family believes that Minnie may be from the Toronto area. Dec 14/98 Name: M.
