Surnames: Bushell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DBH.2ACEB/59.1.1 Message Board Post: Dear Laurence, thank you very much for your reply re the origin of the Bushell name. It is interesting to know that the name goes back to Anglo Saxon days. Has the spelling changed over time, and do you happen to know what the meaning of the Bushell name is, i.e Smith was a blacksmith, Baker a bread baker, etc? Thank You Gordon
