Hi Tweet,
I have found a Hines family in the 1851 census for Bushey viz ...
HO107.1714 F.136. P.12. Sparrow House, Bushey.
Martha Smith Head Widow 62 Char Woman Rushton, Northants
Henry Hines Son M 38 Labourer St.Albans, Herts
Martha Hines M 35 Dagenham, Essex
Martha Hines Dau 10 Bushey, Herts
WILLIAM HINES Son 8 Bushey Herts
Emma Hines Dau 5 Bushey Herts
Thomas Hines Son 3 Bushey Herts
By 1861 William had moved on but the family entry reads
RG9/832 F.110. P9/10. Sparrow House, Clay Hill, Bushey
Henry Hines Head M 50 Farm Labourer St.Albans, Herts
Martha Hines Wife M 45 Romford, Essex
Emma Hines Dau 15 Bushey Herts
Thomas Hines Son 13 Bushey Herts
Esther Hines Dau 9 Bushey Herts
The IGI records the christening of William s/o Henry and Martha on 21 May 1843 at Bushey and also William George s/o William Hines and Mary Ann Fitzjohn on 24 March 1867 at Bushey.
Further probing will hopefully prove whether or not this is the family you are tracing but I thought you should have the information in the background whilst you make your enquiries.
Good luck with your enquiries.
Regards ... Peter

Hi Peter. Thanks for that info, I will look at that in detail later, I have some more info, to put to the last post, My Grandmother Matilda or Mathilda Hines, married my G/Dad James Tullett in a double wedding with her sister Olive to a James Smith. at the parish church St James the Less, I'm led to believe William was christened at the same church abt,1842/3.
Also he died in April 1920?? in Bushey aged 78??
When i can confirm all this i want to trace his USA Family.
Thanks for you time and trouble

Hi Jacky
You are welcome to what i have if it helps. i have only got Grandmother Mathilda Hines , + her uncle William Hines ( yankee uncle as he was known as in the family ) i have a photo of him and his daughter when he come back to the UK in 1923. + a paper clipping from the Mirror from 1923.
I am trying to build a picture up of him and his family in the USA and where he ended his day's.
I haven't managed to find out what the medal is on his pic,s but it's got to be connected to American civil war. A medal of honor is a 5 pointed star but i haven't found his name on the list. ?
Regards Keith

Hi Jacky.
That is the same paper clipping! My cousin has the original cutting his mother wrote on it it red pen . I e-mailed him with your last message and he has replied with a lot more info on what he know's, when i have time i will type it up and send it. (watch this space )
I believe he went to the states abt, 1858 aged 12 yrs, old. they had an orange grove according to my cousin Jim. Springfield, USA.
I have put another photo, in attachment of him and his daughter on his return.
Regards Keith.
