From " The Bolstridges alias Bulstrode of Bedworth " Norman Dudley
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In August 1861, the Vicar of Bulkington, near Bedworth, recorded in his parish register that some 27 members of six local families were emigrating to Canada in consequence of the continued depression of the ribbon trade and that, at that time, there were 83 vacant houses in the parish. A year or two later, William Josiah Bolstridge (4 x great grandson of Thomas and Rebecca Bulstrode alias Bolstridge), who was born at Bedworth in 1825, and his wife, Martha Jaques, descendant of a once prosperous Huguenot family, who was born at Griff, in the parish of Chilvers Coton, both previously employed as ribbon weavers, as were their two eldest children, left their home in Bulkington Lane, Bedworth, and took their children to start a new life at Aston juxta Birmingham.

In 1861, William Josiah's father, Thomas, then aged 80, and Martha's grandmother, Mary Jaques, aged 77, both formerly ribbon weavers , were inmates of Bedworth Almshouses. Martha's father, Thomas, and grandfather, Thomas Jaques, had both been miners at the Griff colliery. Their ancestor, William Jaques, a yeoman of Chilvers Coton Woodland, was recorded in the 1674 Hearth Tax Returns as having a house with six chargeable hearths Mary, the first wife of Mr. Jaques of Coton Parish was buried in the Churchyard of Astley parish church on 17th February 1682. At that time, he was serving as a bailiff on the estate of the Newdigates of Arbury Hall.

William Josiah and Martha Jaques were married at Chilvers Coton parish church on 2nd September 1844. After their move to Aston, William Josiah (sometimes recorded as William and sometimes as Josiah) found employment as a railway porter and waggoner. Martha died there in 1874 at the age of 46, having borne twelve children, five of whom died in infancy.

William Josiah and Martha's son Samuel, who was born at Bedworth on 29th April 1854, was a young schoolboy when his parents moved to Aston, He married twice, having two children, Samuel and Ann Selina, by his first wife, Selina Turner, who died at the age of 26, and nine children by his second wife, Clara, daughter of William and Emma Cherry and granddaughter of Mark Cherry, a watchmaker, who was born in Buckinghamshire, where the family had lived since the 17th century.
