Most of these families were from my branch of the Bushell family but I received one letter about a Paul Bushell from Warwickshire & was given quite a bit of info. about him. Trouble is that although the chap who sent the info realised that it wasn't my family but thought his story was interesting, which it was. Paul was a convict, who came out to Aust. on the 2nd fleet & eventually made good. I can't find the letter & have lost the name of the bloke who sent ot. Sorry Tom Bushell
