Rushden Echo, 6th July 1928, transcribed by Kay Collins

The Ninety-Sixth Anniversary of her birthday was reached yesterday by Mrs James Bull, who lives with her daughter, Mrs W Stapleton, in Little-street. Two of her sons, the late George and Charles Bull, were well-known county cricketers. Besides many relatives in the Homeland, there are others in America. Mrs Bull is the oldest member of the High-street Independent Wesleyan Church. She still has an excellent memory of her early days.

James Bull died on 13th August 1910 and his wife Eliza died on 6th March 1929 and are buried in Rushden Cemetery Grave E21.
