Hi Fred,
Telephoned Genoa. Said either the archives or church records. Archives we know is a no. Church records - which church and where?
The mysterious word going to play around with it. Thought it was old italian, but you say 1861 uk census.

Hi Fred,
Been searching for birth records in Genoa 1815.  The Archives jump a few years and 1815 is not there.   Had a look at "Familysearch".  Nothing, but they say old church records are hard to find and very few are online.  Had a look at churches in the districts of the old town and Molo di Genova is not shown.
Just curiosity:  do you know when he came to the UK, when he was married?  What do earlier/later UK census show as place of birth.

Hi,
Will give it a try.
Can you send me the document in one piece by email. If so will send you a PM with my mail.
Steve

Can do that,. Thanks.

Did you manage to send me the document?

Hi Steve
Absolutely!
Thank you for taking an interest and making those calls, much appreciated. I think Mr Bush will have to go back on the back burner for a while.  Something will turn up one day I'm sure.

In the meantime I'll have a think.
