Christine - thankyou so much, I knew they had to be there, but tried many variations of the surname - Rust, Rush etc - I didn't think about the christian names being shortened.
I am most grateful. ....rushes off to check it out for myself..........

That was an interesting enumerator Christine. He may have abbreviated all the christian names, but in the place of birth he wrote the names of the streets they were born in, which is of added interest - an excellent find all round thanks to you.

Doesn't your Ancestry search find Thos if you enter Thomas (and Geo for George and Willm for William)? I still use the 'old search' with exact matching only and they all came up instantly, regardless of the shortened forenames.
