| Notes |
- NOT THE NEWCASTLE HARRISON BUSHBY. The handwritten Bushby chart (from Keith Bushby's one-name study) shows a Harrison Bushby, coach painter, born about 1869, with a family in Newcastle upon Tyne (wife Alice Liddle). Keith Bushby himself later wrote that he had wrongly assumed that man was James and Martha's son, because this Harrison "disappeared" from English records when the family emigrated. This Harrison was born in Barrow in 1871, went to Sydney with the family about 1880 and married Mary Elizabeth Blanche Brady at Glebe in 1895. The Newcastle family belongs to a different Harrison Bushby and has not been attached here.

Keith Bushby had followed a Harrison Bushby of about the same age in Newcastle upon Tyne and assumed he was James and Martha's son; on learning the family had gone to Australia he wrote that this was a mistake ("Too easy to make mistakes like that when one disappears completely and the other was born at the same time").
