Rick,
       Please forgive my audacity but I'd like to ask a follow-up question(s) =
Can give any further info about Sparrow House?
Were there other people at the same address?
Do you have a location of any sort for Sparrow House within Bushey?
A later Census has the family living in Beauvoir Cottage, Park Road, Bushey.

I really appreciate your help
Pelagian

Hello Pelagian

Looking at the page again, it actually looks like more like Sparrows Herne than Sparrows House, and a quick google search confirmed that this is indeed a road in Bushey.

Hi there, I noticed your message on Rootschat regarding Henry Oldmeadow of Bushey.  I'm interested in this family as I am studying the history of Bushey and this family lived next door to the Brown family of Bushey, back in the 1800s.  I am not related, just curious.  There are a few paintings by James Charles Oldmeadow, including one of Bushey Church and I want to connect the artist with the Bushey families.  Any information would be great.

Thanks and best regards,

Lizzie
