Thomas Bolstridge

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence at marriage: Bickenhill, Warwickshire, England

Notes:

Thomas Witnessed 23 Marriages between 1774 and 1791. His hand was fair and consistent and progressed from Bostridge to Bolstridge. This seems to establish the link with Maxstoke as these were the only families to consistently use this alternative form at this time. Thomas was NOT a church Warden during this period according to the signatures on the Bishops Transcripts so was possibly a Parish Clerk. The last signature was in Feb 1799. A Hannah Bolstridge also witnessed some marriages there, possibly his daughter, in 1793 with Thomas.

There is much confusion with Thomas = Mary Lapworth and Thomas = Sarah Shiplee neither signed at marriage. This arrangement seems the best option at the moment but may change in future !!!

Thomas married Sarah Shiplee on 2 Aug 1763 in Saint Peter's, Bickenhill, Warwickshire, England. Sarah was born about 1740; died in May 1806 in Meriden, Warwickshire, England; was buried on 10 May 1806 in Saint Lawrence's Churchyard, Meriden, Warwickshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
