Fred Bush b1878 in Enfield married Isabella Hannah Clara Harpwood b1877 (daughter of Henry Harpwood and Mary Ann Isabella Wright) in Woolwich in 1900.  They had between 8-10 children, a couple of whom were called Herbert (b1897? Stratford), Mildred, Ronald, Laurence.  If anybody has any information on them, I would be very interested.
Thanks

Thanks for that - This is the last strand of the Harpwood dynasty that I am trying to flesh out so it's good to get more names and details.  Many thanks
