Just home from a frustrating 8 hours in A&E. Don’t think these are the right family sorry 🤔

« on: Tuesday 25 November 25 09:13 GMT (UK) »Just realised William is not with his parents William and Emma on 1851 census though 🤔
That is because he wasn't yet born.
BUSH, WILLIAM
Mother's maiden surname: EVANS
GRO Reference: 1851 D Quarter in ABERGAVENNY Volume 26 Page 43There’s aWilliam Bush aged 4 months on the 1851, born Penybont, Abergavenny, with William and Margaret Bush. Possible marriage of William Bush and Margaret Edmunds in Abergavenny in 1849, maybe a mistranscription on the birth entry 🤔
BUSH, WILLIAM
Mother's maiden surname: EDMUNDS
GRO Reference: 1851 M Quarter in ABERGAVENNY Volume 26 Page 9

Many apologies Debra, didn’t check that properly. Going round in circles with this chap 🙄

Very! Yes Thomas did marry Alice Perkins, but his father William (senior) was a fishmonger then greengrocer on all other records. No idea where the banksman came from. The friend i’m helping is descended from Thomas and Alice and has a lot of info on the family, though mainly Alice’s side. The Bush side is very sketchy!

Wanting to tie this up i bought the digital image (even though it’s not my tree!) Doesn’t look like it’s him though, as occupation listed as formerly a coal hewer.

Debra, i’m not surprised you’re confused, i am too. Probably the most confusing tree i’ve ever worked on.
Wilcoxon, that looks promising thanks. Ages certainly don’t help; his parents were both almost 10 years older when they died than they actually were.

You’re kidding! Thought he’d settled down in recent years but that looks a possibility. Thanks again 🌺

Yes just found that thanks. Have told my friend if she wants to buy it (i’d buy it if it were my tree but even £3 adds up).
Would love a trip to the archives too to see if anything else is available 😀

Brill thanks, ties in with my initial post but gives his wife’s name and that she’s in the workhouse. I’ll look for that article and see if i can find Margaret’s death too.

Thanks, didn’t find many William Bushes when i started this a few days ago, but they are coming thick and fast now.
Have found a funeral report for his brother Thomas in 1936 in Llanbradach, where a Mr W Bush brother was in attendance, so he was still alive then though in his eighties. Ties in with the report of him abandoning his wife to the Crickhowell parish.
