Robert BUSH

[HSU]

I am looking for info on Robert Bush born circa 1841 in Mellis, Suffolk.  Father was possibly Rueben.

By 1881 he had moved to Marske on Sea in Yorkshire and had married a Charlotte Wallis.

Any info prior to 1881 would be much appreciated.

Regards,  Dennis

Hi Dennis

I've just noticed that Matilda is in the 1851 Census with Benjamin as her father but in the 1861 she is with Reuben as her father.

Do you think he could be Reuben Benjamin or Benjamin Reuben?

Hello Wendy,

Thanks for your many, prompt and helpful replies.  A lot of info for me to take in!  I will look at it all and see what I can make of it, then get back to you.

From some of the local info, can I assume you are Suffolk based?

Thanks again for your generous help.

Best wishes,

Dennis

Hi Dennis

I do live on the Suffolk/Norfolk border, although I'm from Berkshire, but all the info was from the censuses & IGI.

I found London [mid 1800's] relatives from Mendelsham Suffolk, which I had no idea about when we retired here and
I believe it is not too far from Mellis/Yaxley, which is very close to Diss where I shop.

Most records, I believe, would be in Ipswich.

Hope you can make sense of my info 

Wendy
