ooo! Thanks for that. Paul.

There's a Harriet as well. 1861 Ellen Cushing abt 1847 Blaky, Norfolk, England Daughter Blakeney Norfolk Francis Cushing abt 1821 Blaky, Norfolk, England Head Blakeney Norfolk George Cushing abt 1861 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Son Blakeney Norfolk .................>Harriet Cushing abt 1849 Blaky, Norfolk, England Daughter Blakeney Norfolk Henry Cushing abt 1859 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Son Blakeney Norfolk Phoebe Cushing abt 1822 Blaky, Norfolk, England Wife Blakeney Norfolk William Cushing abt 1856 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Son Blakeney Norfolk

Yes - Edgerton, Mary. Of course, when people said ''cousins'' they probably meant, ''a relation, but I don't know quite how we are connected''!! Merry

ooo! Thanks for that FC. I'll take a look at the sisters. Paul.

Maybe it was one of Henry's sisters that married a Barrett? .........>Anna Cushing abt 1865 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Daughter Blakeney Norfolk ...........>Ellen Cushing abt 1847 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Daughter Blakeney Norfolk Francis Cushing abt 1822 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Head Blakeney Norfolk Henry Cushing abt 1858 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Son Blakeney Norfolk Phoebe Cushing abt 1822 Warham, Norfolk, England Wife Blakeney Norfolk Susan Cushing abt 1790 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Mother Blakeney Norfolk Walter Cushing abt 1864 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Son Blakeney Norfolk William Cushing abt 1856 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Son Blakeney Norfolk

When you found the marriage before, was Mary's surname Edgarton? Thats the one i've found. Paul.

hehe Merry! Me and my dad said exactly the same thing about the 'cover' story. We think he must have run off with a German!

I wonder if the fact that the regimental numbers for Alfred C and CA Cushing are very similar is significant?? Merry

Paul - now you've only got to find out how these grooms were cousins!!! Last night I did see the likely marriage entry for Henry J Cushing and wife Mary.......I know her name was not Barrett, but have forgotten what it was............The marriage was on FreeBMD and in London...... Merry

FC - your last post is definitely a possibility, and so is this guy: Medal card of Cushing, Alfred C Corps: Bedfordshire Regiment Regiment No: 26571 Rank: Private... Not the same person as the one who died though........ I wonder if Alfred maybe didn't die in the war but at home, or maybe he did die but is missed off the CWGC site?? (I suppose there must be mistakes on there like any other set of records?)..........or perhaps he ran off with the maid and the ''killed in the war'' was a cover story??!!! Or perhaps the death IS the same man and he had changed regiments because of heavy losses? Merry

Thank you so much for your help. It is Cushing. I've just worked out something which was unreadable due to damage. It says on my Grandad's birth certificate, under mothers name name. Harriet Barrett, Late Cushing (Which was unreadable) Formerly Fuller. Merry you silly woman! Dont spend your credits on me! Save them for yourself. But thanks for doing it. My grandad's birth was registered on 18th September 1926. Think it says he was born in Seventeenth of August though. Paul.

Incase the marriage certificate comes back Alfred Charles age 22/23. Name: Cushing, Alfred Charles Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1893 District: West Ham County: Essex Greater London Volume: 4a Page: 252 1901 census. Ellen E Bonards abt 1880 Walthamstow, Essex, England Servant Cann Hall Essex Alfred Cushing abt 1894 Forest Gate, Essex, England Son Cann Hall Essex Frances J Cushing abt 1882 Islington, London, England Son Cann Hall Essex Henry Cushing abt 1885 Islington, London, England Son Cann Hall Essex Henry J Cushing abt 1857 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Head Cann Hall Essex Mary Cushing abt 1859 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Wife Cann Hall Essex Maybe the CWGC got his initials the wrong way around? This one would fit with the father thats in 1901. Father is Henry J. Name: CUSHING Initials: C A Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment: Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry Unit Text: 7th Bn. Age: 25 Date of Death: 09/05/1917 Service No: 26500 Additional information: Son of Henry James Cushing. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead

Cushing would fit in other ways, as if it a Norfolk name. Not that I can find any suitable candidates on the Commonwealth wargraves commission site.

It is therefore a pity there is no death for Alfred C Cushing in WW1 on the Commonwealth War graves site........ Hmmmm! I would do a lookup for a marriage Cushing => Barrett (up to 1920 is as far as I can go) but am out of units on Family Relatives - Sorry!! Nite-nite! Merry

Yea Merry! well done that woman

Alfred C Cushing married Harriet Fuller Q1 1916 in West Ham, as detailed in list message before last. Merry
