A contact has given me a possible marriage between Ann Bush and James Young. If this information is correct the couple had a son Martin born in Radstock about 1812. In 1861 he is on the census living in Oxford with wife Harriet and three children Harriet 1851, James Bush Young 1853 and Eliza 1854 all born in Jamaica. In 1871 he is living in Bath mistranscribed as Marton. I am assuming he was not a slave trader but can anyone read his occupation on either census please.

(please can someone move this to research.
