James Bull
James Bull lived in Somerset. He was Anglican and worked as a servant and a coachman. These details are gleaned from records of his children's baptisms.
Susanna Bull
Susanna, born at Woodbridge, Suffolk was a nurse and widowed by the time she was 60. A Susanna Bull, fitting her profile, is listed in the 1851 census with those details. (8). At the time of the census, she was head of a household with her daughter Ellen, aged 23 (b. 1828, assistant linen draper), her son James aged 22 (b.1829, upholsterer), grandson Charles Seaward Hamlet aged 3 (b. 1848), grandson William Henry Hamlet aged 1 (b. 1850) and a lodger called John Curley. Her children and grandchildren were all born in Bath, Somerset, according to this record.
James and Susanna had at least 6 children, Susanna, James, Henry, Edward, Eleanor, Ellen and Francis. They have James listed twice, with baptisms on different dates, so perhaps the first son died and they made another one, as was sometimes practised at the time. Their son, Francis, was baptised in the Anglican church on 13 Mar 1808 in Walcot, Somerset, England, (1) their daughter, Susanna on 19 Jan 1813 (2) son James on 26 Dec 1815 (3), son Henry Bull 24 Feb. 1822 (4), Edward 26 May 1826 (5), Eleanor 2 sep 1827 (6) and a second James 14 March 1830 (7)
