My distant relative has asked for my help on Lily Boulton but I noticed something not right about their birth year and place of birth.

Lily Boulton - I cant find her on Ancestry and supposedly to be a daughter of John Boulton of 1870 born in Yorkshire and a mother either be Ann (1876?) or Lucy Quarterman. She was born around 1906 but dont know where she born.

I quoted from my relative "John Boulton 1870 married to Lucy Quarterman (1874) had a daughter Lily, do you if she married or ever came to live in Doncaster, my dad always remembers a Aunty Lily from the Boulton side, I dont know who she can be unless she is a daughter of another Boulton".

Lucy Boulton - she born around 1907 but I caught my eyes that there is a Lucy Boulton born in 1908 in Wakefield but cant find her on the census either. :(

You can find my Great grandma Edith Olive Boulton born in 1908 in Doncaster and died in Nottinghamshire and she have 2 brothers - Fred and Harry and 2 sisters - Lucy and Lily.

If you have found anything I would be grateful.

Thanks.

My aunt said that Lily was born to John's first wife name unknown (could be Ann) and Lily was a half sibling of Edith and Harry to John's second wife, Lucy Quarterman. Which means Lily was born before Fred and Harry was born. I'm still tracking down for Lily but unable to find her Mum before she died. x

I cant find John Boulton (born in bentley, Yorkshire) in 1891 and 1901 census - when he was 22 years old ish... My great great grandma Lucy was running away to Wales when she was young and somehow she found John.x

So your John was deffinatley born 1870 Bentley Yorkshire but on 1911 census says Manchester Lancs!!

You have his parents as John 1847 and Margaret nee Reed is that correct?

Did he also have a sister lilly Boulton born 1883 in Bentley so she would be your mums Aunt.

I can only see Lilly in 1901 when she is away from home working as a servant.

Mary, I know I have noticed this as well, John born in Manchester when he was not!

Yes I have his parents - John of 1847 and margaret Reed 1848ish. (Same goes for Margaret, her birthplace is different as well.)

John Boulton of 1870 married to Lucy Quarterman if you have got him right, and he must had a sister I didnt know at all and just found out but not sure if it is!

Aunty Lily who someone 'remembers' could have been a family friend who was given the 'courtesy' title of Aunty for the child's benefit

Or a Great Aunt.....either by blood, or marriage

Reggie, I rather to have separate thread for this one because they are sisters or so called sisters whether they are related or not and I am searching for them two only so can track replies easily and dont want to add information onto my old threads. I hope you understand this.

So I have asked for help for those ladies I am looking for.

Yes I know what you mean 'Aunty Lily who someone 'remembers' could have been a family friend who was given the 'courtesy' title of Aunty for the child's benefit

Or a Great Aunt.....either by blood, or marriage' which is why my distant relative has asked me for my help to find them.
