pusell

James Pusell/Pusill/Pusile/Pusel/Pussel/Pussell (1820-1895) was an errand boy in Liverpool when he was transported to Australia on the Sheerness in 1837. After gaining his freedom he married Maria Tucker (1840-1886) in Bathurst, NSW. James and Maria had 12 children.  James died in Burraga, NSW.

It appears that James is a common ancestor for anyone with a variant of the Pusell surname who is living in Australia today. If you know of any Pusells please email me so I can compile a complete list of descendants.
