William Bush, fishmonger born around 1853

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.

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 😀

Another possibility.
Caerphilly Journal - Saturday 10 April 1926

Sent to prison 83 year old Wm Bush of Llandradoch charged with insulting behaviour.
He asked to be sent to the workhouse but was sent to prison.

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

Just realised William is not with his parents William and Emma on 1851 census though 🤔

That is because he wasn't yet born.

There’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 🤔

She seems a bit old but it looks like Margaret didn't know how old she was, she may have been innumerate.  She was 48 in 1891, 82 in 1901 and 70 in 1906.
