Biography

James Cushion was probably born about 1801 in Norfolk, England.[1] His parents are not known.

James Cushion and Mary Scott married on 9 Dec 1821 at St. Bride Fleet Street, London.[2] James and Mary had eight children between 1823 and 1838: Edward James (b. 1823), Sarah (b. 1824), Elizabeth (b. 1826), William (b. 1828), Henry (b. 1832), Emma (b. 1833), Louisa (b. 1836), John (b. 1838)

In the 1841 census, James Cushion was age 40 living at Webb Street, Saint Mary Newington, Surrey with his wife Mary Cushion (40), sons William Cushion (12), Henry Cushion (9), John Cushion (2) daughter Emma Cushion (7). Occupation Journeyman Farrier.[3]

In the 1851 census, James Cushion was age 50 living at Hill Street, Saint Mary Newington, Surrey with his wife Mary Cushion (51), son John Cushion (12), daughter Sarah Walker (25) and her husband William Walker and son William C Walker. Occupation Blacksmith.[1]

In the 1861 census, James Cushion was age 60 living at Ebenezer Place Hill Street, Saint Mary Newington, Surrey with his wife Mary Cushion (61), son John Cushion (22). Occupation Labourer.[4]

James' wife Mary died in 1866.

James Cushion of Hill Street, Walworth, Surrey died in 1870 age 70. He was buried on 24 Jul 1870 at Victoria Park Cemetery, Hackney, Middlesex.[5][6]

Research Notes

James might be the James Cushion born in 1799 at North Pickenham, Norfolk to James and Sarah Cushion who had married earlier in 1799.[7][8]

James was definitely not the James Cushion born 1801 in Shottesham, Norfolk who lived in London with wife Harriet, worked as a Cab driver, and died in 1880.[9]
