BUSHELLE/ BUSHELL Brisbane

[amberwitch]

Looking for journalist Theobald "Toby" Wallace Bushelle (b. 1840), living and working in Brisbane 1860+. He was also well known as a singer and singing teacher. His mother was Eliza Wallace Bushelle (1820 - 1878), the sister of the composer William Vincent Wallace.

I can't see him mentioned in the Queensland BDM up to 1914.

Maybe he moved interstate, or lived past 1914.

Can't see a death for him in NSW either, although a Wallace N. Bushell died there in 1926 and a Wallace E. Bushell died there in 1927.
Neither mother was Eliza Bushell(e) though.....

I can't see his death in Victoria, South Australia or Western Australia either, I am afraid.
I also checked the National Archives of Australia website for any mention of him, but also drew a blank with that search.

I did see two mentions of him when I googled "Toby Bushell".

Hello...

My name is John Bushelle and I am the descendant of many of the same name, including the JB married to Eliza Vincent Wallace who you have mentioned. I have uncovered quite a bit of the family history and would be keen to talk to anyone interested. I realise it's quite a while since your post, but if you get this, let me know...

We have a continuing interest in the activitird of John and Eliza Bushelle in the 1830s and 1840s.
