James Bush - 1841 census please

[king william]

I am hoping someone can look up my ancestor James Bush - (1773 - 1848) in the census of 1841 as he would fit in to that one.
He was a son of James Bush, builder of Kingston-upon-Thames and his siblings were Thomas Bush 1770, William Bush, born 1775, Jarvis Millis Bush born 1777, Charles Bush born 1787, and George Bush born 1799.
My line is from his daughter Sarah who emigrated to New Zealand with her husband John King about 1842.
I am very curious to know of James circumstances, his address for a start, and the census would tell me that - I believe they were a very wealthy family (the money has not come down to us if they were) - he died in Bush Buildings in London which I am also curious about.
If anyone can find any of them on the census it could be more of a picture of them, I have been told that their lifestyle was very like that of "The Forsyte Saga"
I have also heard that the address of Tavistock Square was in the equation but that may have been Tavistock Place where the King family lived.
Hope someone can give me an idea of their life through the census.
King William.

He was in Bush's Buildings in 1841, aged 65 and described as Independent. Born in County.

HO107/683/5

Bushs Buildings were obviously quite substantial with several other families living in them.

Hi Genjen
Many thanks for the information - does anyone know just where Bush Buildings were, and just what they were I would guess they are not there now or are named something else, I wonder if they had servants, they were not short of a penny or two.
I wonder if Bush Buildings were a residential address or a work place and just where it was.

Looking at the addresses on either side, Bush's Buildings would appear to have been in Great Green Street, Kentish Town, St. Pancras.

The enumerators description names Great Green Street but not Bush's Buildings.

Great Green Street is named as between Elizabeth Place and the Grove and Highgate Rise.

These streets would appear to have been on the southern edge of Hampstead Heath.

I hope this helps

Mum 44,
Many thanks for this information, his father and grandfather were from the Kentish Town and Kingston-upon-Thames area and I actually have an old photo with no names on the back which was taken in Richmond so I would guess they are ancestors from that line of the family.
I am in New Zealand but have a very good British atlas,

Hi

You do know there's an artist's impression of James Bush's carpentry workshop c. 1850?
