Thank you for your reply @warncoort
I've yet to find his immigration details. Also I haven't found record of his parents in Australia. And the marriage record says Baltan, Lancashire and mother's name as Mary Ann Lockwood. Death index says Mary Ellen Lockwood. He and Frances Reynolds married 12 Jul 1877 in the house of the Rev. W. Powell, Boundary Street, Brisbane According to the rites of the Primitive Methodist Church. Three of their 4 children were born in Toowoomba bet 1878-1885 they are in Townsville by 1889 for the birth of their youngest. He dies the following year in 1890. I really need to see about getting his death record ordered. Only two of the 4 girls lived to adulthood. The eldest and the youngest. I personally don't know of any other record that shows Bolton. But someone along the way assumed it was Bolton it was referring to.
