Hi All (I hope there's someone out there and I'm not talking to myself here!) I'm new to this list so thought I'd post my interests (briefly as I know it can get boring) My grandmother was Mabel Elizabeth BUSHELL d of Samuel BUSHELL jr (b 24 Aug 1866 Shirley, Southampton) and Sarah Annie STRIDE Samuel jr was son of Samuel BUSHELL sr (b 1842/43 Millbrook, Southampton) and Annie WILLIS. Samuel sr was son of Thomas BUSHELL and Maria (LILLEY? as yet unproven). Seem to be all Hampshire based. Thomas was born and married in Shirley, Southampton. Any other Hampshire Bushells out there?
