Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I previously noted that marriage to Sarah Chapman and wondered if that was them. It may be that their marriage has not been picked up by genealogy websites or perhaps they just lived together. The Bussell/Chapman marriage is a good possibility, the only trouble is, it is just a possibility. Thanks again, very kind of you to reply.

Hello. I did come across that record yesterday and checked up on Corinthian Lodge. It met at the Sun, Clement Inn Foregate, the Strand but ceased to exist in 1806. The Corinthian Lodge would not have been a sub-division of the Gothic Lodge, but would have been a lodge of equal standing in its own right - I know this because I used to be a mason!!
Thanks again.

Thank you for the further information.I think that Charles Bussell is almost certainly Peter's brother. There is a Charles born to Humphrey and Mary in Lambeth in 1790, followed by 2 siblings Mary Sophia in 1792 and Charlotte Matilda in 1794. As you said, Charles lived in York Street, as did Peter, and Charles was an undertaker, as was Peter. Since Peter said that he was born in Holland in about 1785 it may be that his parents (Humphrey and Mary), had children in Holland in the 1780s but by 1790 had moved to England. Peter has a link to Lambeth in that he was apprenticed there in 1802 to a chairmaker, and was recorded as a carpenter in the 1820s. I cannot find out any details on Humphrey Bussell and his wife. Also I do not know where Peter's middle name of Berlon comes from.
Thanks again.

Hello,
I am interested in hearing from anyone who is researching the ancestry of PETER BERLON BUSSELL, who was born in Holland in about 1795 but moved to England and was an undertaker for many years in Mile End Old Town. Many thanks.
