Hi there,
Doing my family tree and I have an ancestor by the name of Isaac Boulton who married Ann West. I was able to verify their info with the census. However, I am struggling to find info for the parents of Isaac.
I found name to be likely William Boulton, who is likely married to an Elizabeth.
Isaac was born 1797, so parents would of course be older than that.
A birth record for Isaac may be helpful for verifying names, but not sure where to go from there.
Thank you

In the census, Isaac’s birth place is Tetbury.

Is there any way to find Williams information based on that? I haven't had any luck finding birth records for William or Elizabeth at all. I appreciate you verifying that information though!

Is that fairly normal to have the name change from Boulton to Boulter? I guess it would be from Boulter to Boulton technically, but my family we've only known us as Boultons. That might be why I've been struggling to find info, but the years make sense

Please use the REPLY button. No need to keep repeating what I have posted. :)
Boulter / Boulton a variation in spelling and / or penmanship at this time is normal. Standardised spelling is a relatively modern convention.

I'm so sorry, I am learning how to use this. My apologies. Thank you so much for that information, this should hopefully help me fill out some more family. I really appreciate it!! :)

It is possible that 1800 Burial is William.

Cant seem to see any children to them or burials Tetbury

Spelling was very fluid in those days.
I see Isaac/Ann children bapt as Bolton or Boulton in Hawkesbury
