Yep I think Elizabeth 1916 is quite likely although where she was between 1881 and 1916 i don't know. It just leaves Elijah.
Many thanks for looking.

I can't see a trace of either of them. I think the death for Elizabeth looks pretty likely doesn't it though.

George died as a baby. Benjamin and Mary Ann are both in Whitchurch workhouse in 1891. Mary Ann remains there untill 1911 and I think I have found her death 1954 Oswestry Shropshire. I have Benjamin in all the census' and death in 1960.However I can't find Elizabeth in any of the census' after 1881 but I think I have her burial 1916 Whitchurch cemetry, died in union workhouse.
It is really Elijah's death I am looking for....I am wondering what happened to him.

1877 sentenced to 18 months for unlawful wounding
1880 marriage to Elizabeth Day

Children:George c.1880, Benjamin c.1882, Mary Ann c.1884
1884....there is an E. Bolas on the UK military campaign medal and award rolls in the 1st Shropshire light infantry.
I cannot find a death record for Elijah........can anyone help please? :-)
