Dear Mark,
I have been to the area of Kilshannig by Mallow and the Church of Ireland churchyard there which probably has some Bolsters but is quite neglected. I have a picture of Odell but do not know much about the Bolsters. In Kilshannig there are many and I am flummoxed. I am a classical singer and teach at Brandeis and live in the Waltham area.
Might you tell me something about the Bolsters. ?? I might have Bolsters in pictures as I have MANY (old) but have no reference to know.. COU lived in Cambridge (3 Nichols Pl) and various places in Cambridgeport . He had a large family.. He moved to New Yoprk I think in 1880
I would love to know exactly where my relatives lived in Ireland as I would like to go back and see.
Hoping,
Pamela
Mary Bolster would be my great-great grandmother. My grandmother was an Upton.. (Charles Odell Upton..was her father. b. 1844 or 45 in Kilshannig..child of John and Mary..
Regards,
Pamela
