Find Ancestors

I am trying to find Patrick Rush born around 1913 possibly in Ireland. He emigtated to America in 1951. I do have an entry for him as follows. Sailed on Queen Elizabeth and arrived in New York 19 March 1951. He stayed with a relative , I think at
41 Washington Rumson New York

Any ifo greatfully received.

He was my godfather and changed my name from those chosen by my mother at the point of my baptism. Because she was not allowed at the font as she was not a Catholic she was unaware of this change until she was handed the christening record!

Many thanks

Fairthorn Thank you for confirming the little info I have.

I am hoping that someone may pick this up and let me know what happened to him. I remember him sending me some vry pretty clothes and then all correspondence stoped.

You probably have all the details by now- but just in case you return in another 5 years- on the passenger list in 1951 Patrick Rush gives his UK address as 245 Ladbroke Grove. This is the 1951 Electoral Register:

1951: 245 Ladbroke Grove, W10
