I found out today that my great grandfather Percy Price was a boxer who used the name Bush. (Either Bush Price or Percy Bush, Im unsure) in South Wales. He was born 1890 and died 1941. After retiring from boxing, he was a trainer. Does anyone know if there would be any records held anywhere please? |

I havent heard of him playing Rugby but thanks so much for looking, Lynne. If he wasnt famous, I suppose I could be looking for ever more. Am just thinking if I can find something, there may be a photo of him. xx |

He was born 1890, and died in 1941 (in WW2). His name was definately Percy Price, but his nickname was Bush, or Bushy. All I know was he was born near Maesteg, and as a married man lived in Brynmenyn, then Bridgend. He was a boxing coach after retiring. His name is from his daughter (my gran)'s birth cert and the war graves website. His birth year is from my gran, if its not 100% accurate it'd be approximately 1890. I was told of the Bush/Bushy nickname by my aunty, and also an old school friend of Percy's son. |
