I'm trying to locate details of my gt.gt. grandfather John Busst a gun implement maker from Walsall/Birmingham. He had died by 1877 when his son George married Mary Stevenson. I'm not sure when John was born but George was 22 when he maried so I guess John must have been born prior to 1833. Does anyone have any details? Nicky

Hi,
I have in my tree a Joseph Busst born C 1788 married to Mary Sheryn born C 1797.
Their daughter Harriet born 1819 married into my family. Oerton. She had brothers, but the only one I have is Joseph born C 1821. They were from Walsall .
