Wondering if anyone has any information regarding this character? I can find no marriage for him in London and the only one that turns up in the old records is to an Elizabeth Lewis in Wareham, Dorset but not sure if this is my Michael Bolt or not- he definitely died in Shoreditch in 1867 aged 80.
I have his son (or i should say, the one we are related through) as Thomas William Bolt, born 1840, which would mean Michael was quite, ah, athletic in his older days- not to mention Elizabeth so I can't help feel I am missing a step.
Thomas William Bolt was born in St. Dunstan Manus, Middlesex and moved to Perth, Scotland where he was listed as a Railway Engine Cleaner in 1871 when his wife, Betsy Ferguson, gave birth to their son John Ferguson Bolt. John Ferguson Bolt then married Mary Peters Ferguson in Perth and had a son, Allan Ferguson Bolt in 1909. He was n the Royal Engineers (i think) and married a Selina Gardiner Javens from Glasgow. They had two children, Sylvia Gardiner Bolt and Alan John Javens Bolt.
I can only be certain of things as far back as Thomas William Bolt- any help or info would be appreciated! My wife is the daughter of Sylvia.
