My father was Raymond Bushell (b. 1933) of Oldham, Lancs. Raymond married Brenda Wrigley (b. 1934) in 1954 and emigrated to Canada in 1957. Raymond's siblings were Vera (emigrated to Australia), Frank, Donald and Eric (still in Oldham I think). Frank and Donald died in childhood. Raymond's father was Henry Bushell (b. 1902), also of Oldham. Henry was married to Lily Hurst (b. 1906). Henry's father was James Bushell (unknown but presume Lancashire) married to Mary Alice Howard. I have only started research and am very new to the whole process. If anyone has any information on Henry, James or Mary Alice, I'd love to hear from you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
