***************************************************************
Why have we assumed this Daniel Bolstridge is the same as John Daniel Bolstridge baptised as a young man at Maxstoke.
1) Before his father John was was married he witnessed marriages at Maxstoke signing his name John Boastridge.
2) At Maxstoke register entries used Bostridge quite extensively alternating with Bolstridge and Bolestridge
3) The IGI gives us John Bostridge married Rebecca Birdett at Clifton on Dunsmore
4) The 1851 census shows Daniel Bostridge, born Macstoke, with sons John and William who were both baptised with Birdett - Burdett as middle names.

The evidence is convincing.

****************************************************************
There is an interesting possibility yet to explored regarding the Daniel part of John Daniels Name. There is no tradition of the Daniel Christian name in any of the Bolstridge families yet researched however there is a link to the Daniel surname. In 1770 Francis Bolstridge a freeholder of Bedworth Woodlands, the last Bolstridge of any property married Mary Daniel his second wife. Mary was the daughter of William Daniel of Packington, one of twins. The Daniels were and had been for some generations farmers in the area, a number of places today still refer to them on the larger scale OS maps, ie Daniel's Wood and Daniel's Pool, the 1893 OS map also shows a Daniels Mill. William Daniels name crops up many times in the Packington registers as a witness to marriages, possibly a Parish Clerk or Church Warden. This is similar to the situation at Meriden with Thomas Bolstridge. This may well provide an evidential link back to Bedworth eventually.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: John Bostridge

• Baptism: 13 Mar 1750, Bickenhill, Warwickshire, England
• Residence: 1773, Bickenhill, Warwickshire, England
• Residence: 1817, Hall End, Maxstoke, Warwickshire, England

Notes:

This John may well be same as the one born 1751 baptising children at Maxstoke in 18011/12/1999 This assumption that the John Bolstridge and Mary who were baptising children at Maxstoke en-bloc in 1801 is the John born at Astley in 1770 is extremely suspect. This was part of Norman Dudley's research but he has failed to examine the Bolstridge activity in the Meriden Corley Maxstoke areas as a possible source. These are entered under various spellings ie Boastridge Bastridge Bowlstridge Boatsridge. The Meriden/Maxstoke borders are ill defined further examination of the registers is required at Corely and Maxstoke. I suspect that this link is the so far unlinked marriage of Samuel Bolstridge and Elizabeth Bratch.
See James Bolstridge Ref 2116 for further details

Today 17/01/01 Confirmed incorrect link, Irah was 17 when baptised, Maxstoke Registers. This link now detached!
