Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Thomas Bolstridge

Notes:

The children of Thomas and Rebecca Bulstrode have been entered un various spellings and this is the first instance of the use of Boulstridge and Bolstridge.
********************************************************************** ***
At Present no link has been found to connect Thomas (and Rebecka) and Francis (and Jane Ashmore) to Edward and Margaret Bulstrode the evidence of a connection is purely circumstantial.
The Bedworth Registers clearly show a link between the Bulstrode and Bolstridge surnames. There are no other compulsory records that list a Bulstrode in the area except Sir William Bulstrode who died at Coventry, without issue, in 1646 and in his Will he made bequests to friends and to Edward Bulstrode (of Sole End) son of his kinsman Edward Bulstrode.
In 1774 a freeholder is listed at Bedworth Woodlands in the Warwickshire poll book called Francis Bolstridge.
********************************************************************** ***
Examining the Bedworth registers we find the following :
William Bulstrode born 12 May, bapt. 5 June 1655
Thomas Bulstrode bapt. 14 July 1657 (this was written in at a later stage )
1659-1661 no register entries
Francis Bolstrod bapt. 1 July 1661(squeezed in at top of page out of order and in different hand)
1662 - April 1663 few entries at all register quite disorganized.
1663 Register in new hand and back no normal.
James Bolstridge Bapt. 2 May 1669
Samuel Bulstrodg Bapt. 5 May 1672
Jone Bulstrog Bapt. 21 Jan 1676
From 1678 - 1681 there are 4 entries of Bulstrod until Thomas son of Thomas junior reverts to Bolstridge on March 19th
All further entries at Bedworth then are either Bulstrodg(e) Bolstrig(e) or Boulstridg(e)
