Hi All,

Please would anyone beable to help me find Thomas Boulton born c1815 with his wife Mary Ann nee Nash, they would have had two children with them
William Boulton born Little Marcle Ledbuy Hereford
Sarah Jane Boulton born c1846 Hereford there was another child Mary Ann born c1851 all Herefordshire.

The Boulton had moved to Widnes Lancashire by the 1861 census and Thomas Boulton their father was born in Gloucestershire he was still alive until 1885 he was a labourer.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and help

Kind regards Costa

I have also looked for them living with Thomas's parents who were William and his mother Hester but have not found them on the census at all.

Hi Patchem,

Yes that is the right family you have put up for reference.

Thank you they must have been in Herefordshire in 1851 I would have thought.

Hi MillymollieAmanda,

I do not think this is the right one as Thomas Boulton was born in Gloucestershire he married Mary Ann Nash in 1840 in Cheltenham Gloucestershire and then their children

William was born c1843 Herefordshire
Sarah Jane and also Mary Ann should all be with them on the 1851 they never passed away as I have the marriages for all three.

Thank you for trying to help it is much appreciated it is just a brick wall at the moment and keep going round in circles.
Kind regards Costa

Hi Tempest,

It does get confusing when you see all these it is the right family a gentleman on the boards went to gloucestershire archives and got me the marriage details and Thomas Boulton baptism with his parents name which was great but then the problems started, with going backwards wish that would stay in one place hee hee.

Thanks for the info Kind regards Costa

Hi Everyone,

Firstly I would like to thank everyone again for their help on finding Thomas Boulton and Mary Any Boulton nee Nash for me, I know this is a bit cheeky but could anyone please find them in 1841 for me please.

I just can not find them.

Thomas Boulton born c1815 labourer married Mary Ann Nash in 1840 in Cheltenham Gloucstershire.

Thomas's father was William Boulton Labourer
Mary's father was Richard Nash Labourer

Their first child was born in Little Marcle Herefordshire he was was William but that was in 1842 I am not aware of any children born before him anyhelp would be much appreciated :D

Thanks again one down one to go

Hi Patchem.

That is interesting no I had not found her birth I have been going from her marriage cert to Thomas Boulton.

It has Mary Ann Nash on there with father Richard Nash.
So that is what I thought maybe she added Mary I am not sure
