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 !!

Just wondering about this family:
1871
Name: William Bolton
Age: 36
Estimated birth year: abt 1835
Relation: Head
Gender: Male
Where born: Easton, Wiltshire, England
Civil parish: Hornsey
Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary Hornsey
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England
Registration district: Edmonton
Sub-registration district: Hornsey
ED, institution, or vessel: 1
Household schedule number: 98
Household Members:
Name Age
William Bolton 36
Thomas Morley 16
Mary A Morley 10
Martha Bolton 6
Source Citation: Class: RG10; Piece: 1335; Folio: 13; Page: 18

I think it says William's a groom. (but it could say grocer!!) And I can't work out where he was born.

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,

Battersea is in Wandsworth RD

Births Mar 1893 (>99%)

I only found one Fred* Howard + Martha marr - Staines 1886q4 which didn't seem likely until I saw Maureen's post. There is a
M-1887q2 Frederick Howard St Saviour 1d 188

FreeBMD has

Marriages Jun 1887 (49%)
Perham William Henry St.Saviour 1d 188
WOODS Sarah Letitia St. Saviour 1d 188

but they only got images for half the index a couple of months back, so if Martha's MS starts with A thru mid-L, we'll have to wait till they get that transcribed to see who's the missing bride.

I did come across another odd marr whose relevance escapes me:

Hi that could be Fred and Martha nee Bolton is correct as on 1891 census says Ada bollon a servant could be Martha Bolton's sister mistranscribed.
The date fits with Martha Ellen Mary Howard being born about 1888.

Hi choccy
Both are close enough for the 'Colchester Connectiion" But no mention of half brother Cecil, Alberts other brother Fred was in engineering, Albert was in the Suffolk reg as a Bomb Instructor in ww1, {He was also a Valet to a Dr lognenotti, so im told} Do feel drawn toward the 1891 census with his Father Frederick Occupation Butcher.. I love all this family history although it drives me crazy at times !! & time gets away to quickly,
Anyway im off t bed in a few secs as its almost 12:15 am out here in Australia.. will catch up tomorrow thanks for all your help .

Thanks Choccy, also MaryB the birth Reg for Herbert Victor Howard J/F/M/ 1896 would that be the one as he was born O/N/D 1895 , I guess they could have regd him the following year,! I had looked at that one so many times ..Think ill go with it !
