Garston - St Michaels - Henry BOLTON died 1891

[jh44]

I am trying to find the cemetery where Henry BOLTON is buried in Garston. Find My Past records show him buried Garston Lancashire 22 Jun 1891 but does not show which cemetery.  The death certificate shows Henry BOLTON died at 9 Russell Rd Garston 19 Jun 1891 aged 85 years.  Henry was born in Co. Clare Ireland and I believe he moved to Garston Liverpool in the 1880's with his wife Ann.  Ann and their son Frederick William BOLTON are buried Toxteth Park Cemetery. I suspect Henry BOLTON may possibly be buried in St Michael's cemetery but I am unable to confirm this.  Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Hi jh44

Welcome to Rootschat 

If you look at the entry on FindMyPast, you will note that the source of the information is Family Search intl, known as the Church of Latter Day Saints and their genealogical database is here  www.familysearch.org

if you then look at the corresponding record on family search the batch number is given as I02487-5 and a film number of 396371

if you click on either of these numbers you will see more records from St Michaels church at Garston which is confirmed by this catalogue entry

http://londonfamilyhistory.org/catalogue/#film_number=396371

so he is in the churchyard not a municpal cemetery.

hope this helps.

The entry for Henry Bolton is in the burial register for St Michael's Garston and is available to view on Ancestry. Ancestry has transcribed the surname as Botton. I have submitted alternate info to correct this mistake.

I went to school with Bolton family in the 1950's and 1960's. I live in Garston and my family have been here for 150 years
I will walk down to St Michaels church later and have a look for Henry Bolton amongst the headstones - any other family members you want me to look for ??

George 1900 and Jane 1924 - another 2 Bolton family members buried in St Michaels - are they related in any way ?.....the reason I ask is that I will be looking for HENRY BOLTON - if he is with family his name may not be at the top of the headstone - I will check anyway ..

Robert Bolton buried 1821 aged 11 is the earliest Bolton buried in Garston that I can find
James Bolton born 1757 - buried Garston 2nd jan 1831 - don't know where he was born though

I have found 12 Bolton burials in Garston from 1821 to 1924 ...so over a 100 year period
I could be goggled eyed later ....lol
I will enjoy looking - it's a challenge

Hi Garstonite
I do not know of that George or Jane BOLTON at this stage.  Henry BOLTON was born in County Clare circa 1806 and he married Ann BOLTON (daughter of Alexander BOLTON of Sligo Journal) in Sligo 1834.  I'm told they had a very large family (19 children) some of whom emigrated to Australia. Henry was in Ennis and Spanish Point Co Clare in the 1850's and 1860's.  In 1876 Henry was at Clareview Salt Hill Galway when his brother Charles Paulet BOLTON died. I lost track of him until he turned up in an 1891 Census at Garston when he was living with his wife Ann, daughter Mary (caring for her parents) and grandson Henry BOLTON.  I believe Henry and Ann BOLTON moved to Garston in the 1880's.  Their daughter Mary was in Liverpool from about 1871 and their son Frederick William BOLTON (retired Army Officer and Customs Watcher) born Spanish Point Co Clare 1850 was probably in Liverpool from the 1880's.



I have been able to trace Ann, Frederick and other family members having been buried Toxteth Park Cemetery Liverpool.  I do not know of any other BOLTON family, other than Henry BOLTON, who may be buried in St Michael's Churchyard Garston.  There would be other BOLTON descendants in the Liverpool area.

Hiya - just got back from the church - but sadly I couldn't find a headstone for Henry Bolton ...I found a very large (high) Bolton family headstone which dated back to
Mary Bolton who was buried 1865
also her husband Robert Bolton who was buried Oct 1866 - then there were about 14 lines of writing which was unreadable - the sandstone writing having washed away the actual letters ... so it is possible that Henry may be in that grave - but no visible proof .
my friend is F**** S Bolton b 1951 in Garston ( we sat next to each other in Junior school ) - his father was Frederick W Bolton b 1925 Liverpool ...so I wonder if Frederick W Bolton was related to your Frederick W Bolton born 1850 - did he work at the Liverpool custom house at any time ??
I am going on freebmd to see the 1925 birth and try and find out Frederick W Boltons parents and try and work back with them .
added
Frederick W Bolton b 1925 mmn LORD
Arthur V Bolton to Alice Lord 1921 at St Columba , Anfield,Liverpool (presumably Alice was from Anfield )
Arthur V Bolton b 1895 - see if we can find him in 1901 census

[garstonite]

looks like Arthur Vincent Bolton b 1895 West Derby ,Liverpool

1901 census has Arthur V Bolton b 1896 estimated living in Edgeware Street ,Edge Hill ,Liverpool
family are
Jane Bolton aged 42 born Holyhead , Wales ( customs port ??)
Joseph H Bolton aged 22 b Liverpool
John C E Bolton aged 21 b Liverpool
FREDERICK W Bolton 14 b Liverpool
Maud B Bolton 11 b Liverpool
Franklin V Bolton 9 b Liverpool
Arthur V Bolton 5 b Liverpool

do you know the name of the wife of Frederick William Bolton b 1850 - could it be Jane ?? if so was he alive in 1901 and is he working somewhere as a customs officer ?
trying to connect the Bolton family I know to your Frederick William Bolton - having found my friends father and his grandfathers brother as both Frederick W Bolton it looks like my friends ancestors go back to your Frederick William Bolton ...need your input please
