I'm looking for a Joseph William Bushby who is recorded as being involved in sulphur mining in Iceland (!) in 1859. Unfortunately I have no date of birth or death or what part of the country he came from but would like to find out about his family.

Thanks - I don't think this can be my JWB, as he would be rather young to be starting a mining company in 1859! Will bear him in mind though.
