Whilst working at my local college I took a course in genealogy and from that  moment I was hooked.  It can be hard work, but also very rewarding, when after  searching for a relative for weeks/months you eventually find them. Scott/Rushworth/Fielding.......Well, my maiden name was Scott, my mother was a  Rushworth and my married name is Fielding.
 The Scotts, my paternal side, all came from Lancashire. There is family  folklore that a distant relative fought at Flodden, than came south and made  his home in Lancashire.  True......it may well be, but I have not made the link  at present.
 The Rushworths, my maternal side, were all Yorkshire folk.  They all seemed to  be hardworking and law abiding, not a hint of scandal anywhere.  Where is the  villain in the family?  I would love to find a villain.
 The Fieldings, my husband's family.  Most of them were agricultural labourers,  they came north from Berkshire between 1871 and 1881 when there was a decline  in farming to find work in the mills.
 These are the main names in my tree, the many other names help to build  branches, and to be able to find stories about my varied relatives help the  tree blossom and leaf.
 I hope you enjoy my website and have fun looking around it, as much as I did in  creating it.
