Son of Thomas Bushen 1793 and Christian Webber 1798
George Bushen was baptised on 21 Apr 1833 (1) in Porlock Somerset.
George was a Mariner but he is a bit of a mystery. As far as I can tell he did not marry or have children, but on the 1891 Census he is described as a widow. He had a vessel called "Jane" but I have not yet researched this further.
George died in 1896 (2) aged 63.
