It appears that William her Husband had preceded her. All four Children were Baptised at Bedworth on the 10 Feb 1850 in preparation for the Journey

Both William and Charlottes family were Ribbon Weavers and there was great distress in the trade at that time due to the cheap imports of factory produced ribbons in the 1840's
Pigot and Company's Directory for 1841 recorded that, at Bedworth: Three collieries, opened in the vicinity, are productive of some advantage to the inhabitants, who, previously to the depressed state of the ribbon trade, were chiefly employed in that branch of manufacture.

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.

From the Coventry Herald, Friday, February 24th. 1860 (Courtesy Peter Lee)
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
FOUND DROWNED - On Sunday last as two young men residing in Nuneaton, and a labouring man, George Wright, from Bulkington, were passing the canal near Chilvers Coton, they observed something in the water which they thought to be a horse cloth. After trying some time with sticks to get it nearer the side, and as it turned over the face of a young woman presented itself, and for a moment they were terrified at the spectacle. The body was got out of the Water and conveyed to the Anchor Inn. It proved to be the body of Harriet Bolestridge, a female about 19 years of age, who had been engaged at work in Mr Townsend's silk throwing factory at Attleborough. The inquest was held Tuesday last at the Anchor Inn, Hartshill, before Alfred Carter, esq. Coroner. A mass of evidence was adduced which went to show that she was of unsound mind, and had repeatedly threatened to commit suicide - indeed she made an attempt to drown herself two months ago. She was engaged to a young man named Jonah Allen. but frequently told him she liked some one else better than him. On Saturday evening she went to a public house and called for half a pint of rum and soon afterwards half a pint of ale; she then left the house and was never again seen alive. At half past ten on the following morning the body of the deceased was found as above described in the canal. Under a bush close by the towing path was found a bundle containing a shawl and prayer book belonging to the deceased. There was also a letter in the bundle, the contents of which were as follows: - " Fare ye well my tender mother, and do not grieve; nor my sister love, nor brother, for this world I now must leave. I leave my sister my gold ring, my sampler, and all my little things, for I am in death. Jonah brought me to my grave early in youth; for I am in my bloom cut down like a flower from a tree. I am poison myself. Let Jane see me; pray do not fret for me - I am dead and gone, and my soul is lost for ever. Farewell all my friends, Jonah Allen brought me to this, but God will not forgive me. " The letter bore no date. There was nothing to prove any misconduct on the part of the young man, Allen, of whom the witnesses generally spoke well; and the Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity " .

(The 23rd foot were the Welch Guards, the Grenadiers one of the best marching bands in the world.(Not Welsh) .
Recruitment for the Guards was carried out in London.
The 23rd main barracks was at Chichester until 1871.
There is a connection with Leek but I don't know what. In the early 90's the IRA shot dead a Sergeant from the Welch Fusiliers at Leek railway station he was from a barracks nearby. This barracks had been in the news earlier after being raided by the IRA for arms.)
