I dont know if you ever had any contact with Tom Bushell, but sadly he passed away a couple of years ago. He knew a lot more about the Bushells than I did, but we kept in contact and met up quite a few times over a 3 or 4 year period before he passed away. It turned out that my grandmother and his father where cousins and our Bushells came from Ireland to Australia in the 1850 or 60s. It is fanstastic that you are a Bushell and still in Ireland. Did you know of Maureen Metcalf?? Please email me at thommo26@bigpond.net.au Cheers Kim Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
