I see the immigration record on familysearch for James and Amelia and their children leaving on 12 Nov 1873, has her age as 35, so born around 1838.

What about this birth:

Amelia Bush - March quarter 1841 Bradford Volume 8 p262 (GRO says mothers name is Tucker)

Freebmd says this is Bradford on Avon, which is about five miles east of Bath.

Then in the 1841 census at Piece 1166, Book 5, Folio 10, Page 12 for Bradford Wiltshire

George Bush 20 weaver
Amelia Bush 20
Elizabeth Bush 2
Amelia Bush 6mths

Then there is a marriage of George Bush and Amelia Tucker December quarter 1837 Bradford Volume 8 p431.

As an aside, I think it's kind of funny that you end up in Australia with possible Bush/Tucker connections!!!!

Maybe, I saw that one earlier gives her parents as George and Amelia. The 1841 is the workhouse gives Amelia as 0.

Wow.....you guys are great......I'm in New Zealand though, not Australia  :)
As to that 1861 census.....to my eyes it's 19yrs as transcribed......certainly not a 3 for 13yrs.  I will look more though.
Her age seems to be a bit of an unknown going by her headstone and then that shipping record.!!  She died in June 1922 in NZ. Name at death was Mackersey.

If we can link George Bush her possible father with Frederick Bush in the 1851 where she was living as a niece it would be good as they were both weavers.

I think you need to wait to see what is on the death cert as to who her father is. Hopefully the informant is someone who knew, maybe one of the children. There is really only so much guessing can be done without some other clues.

I do think the marriage cert will be more accurate as it is information given by Amelia herself.

I realized the NZ not Aus mistake after I posted, but as an Aussie, I thought it was funny.

Time to get a marriage certificate I think of the Bohee/Bush marriage to check on her father's name unless some-one can find a parish register entry.

I'm hoping that my Great grandmother gave correct information on the death cert.  If nothing fits from that I will order the marriage cert.  In the meantime I will look for parish registers.  The children were all baptised in Odiham so it would seem to me strange that there wasn't a church wedding.
