Rueben Lush, born about 1853

[legs11]

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 legs11 cheryle.f here, i found the census for 1891 said that mercy was 46 and reuben was 38.they actually married in 1886 in dec quarter at warminster 5a294 for their certificate. In 1901 they still had no other children but their ages had changed to reuben 48 and mercey 50. He was general Shopkeeper at 6 brook street warminster. Laura Lillian was with them age 13. hope this info is a help regards cheryle.f

Hi Krissejoint

Thanks again for the information, once again you have proven to be an invaluable help. I knew about the 1891 Census, but didn't know about the rest, so thanks again

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.
