Hi Everyone !
wow what a great surprise this morning to read all this information you have found! so we have finally found Cecil half bro to Herbert/Albert, and worked out the marriage situation for Frederick, Martha 1887 {thank you maureen } yes that all works out with the Bolton side though i have noted the 1881 Household with martha age 17, works out to age at marriage 23,yes this has to be the one, But, Her father is named Thomas Bolton Occupation Upholsterer.... on the marriage it says Spouses father name William Bolton.. Occupation Ostler... overlooking that this is the obvious marriage because everything else fits in so well, William could be his second Name and he could have given up the upholstery to become an Ostler {stableman ?} there is 6 years difference & I believe they did some weird things back then !
Also Looking at The 1891 Census with Frederick 29
Martha 26 plus their 3 children Martha/Mable & Dorothy, there's Ada Bollon {Bolton} b1887 4 servant.. could this be a chld out of wedlock to one of the Bolton girls & being raised by Martha & Fred ? Or was she Marthas child Born before marriage it might just work out !??
Thanks for your help you have all worked extremeley hard and im so pleased with all the info you have come up with,

Hi Maureen'
You have been so busy !
This father William Bolton fits in a lot better with the details on the Marriage of Marth & frederick .. & yes he could well be a Groom as he is listed on mrrge as occ: Ostler which is a Stablehand, some times the writing is so hard to decipher on the census'!!.. I have been looking through endless lists of Boltons but looks like you got a good one here,
Thank you for all your help... sleep well !!
