Hi there,
I am looking for any information on Rueben Lush who married a Mercy Price. I think this was about 1881, not sure. I do know that they had at least 1 child, according to the 1891 census. I would like to know if they had any more children and when they died if possible.
thank you, any help is appreciated.

hi Krisse,
we had a cold day today, but it didn't rain, how about you. How's your mum.
Just a query, in the last reply you sent you said that he did a bit of moving around before settling down in WARMINGTON, or did you mean Warminster.

I am Rueben Lush's great grandson, he married Mercy Price and my mother and her brother's middle names were Rueben and Mercy. I stumbled across this site accidentally when looking into the 200th anniversary of Rueben's father Jessie which was 6th Jan 2011.
