Hi Horton I have a record of three Rev Bolithos: Herbert William Bolitho, a Methodist minister b 1878 Plymouth (story at http://www.dbolitho.co.uk/HWBolitho.html) George Frederick Bolitho b 1903 Michigan John Ernest Bolitho b 1917 Leeds Regards Bob Bolitho ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanley Bolitho" <stanley.bolitho3@btinternet.com> To: "Cornish Email" <CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 5:50 AM Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Rev Bolitho? Hello list; Some years ago I did some work for a Mr Prowse who farmed at Mulfra, which is within a mile or do of the villages around the old Ding Dong sett, where the old Carfury B.C. chapel was situated. He had a vast collection of books and pamphlets, many relating to the old Bible Christians. There was so much material, you could see pages hanging out of the old windows of the large barn where he kept it all, together with a celebrated collection of motor bikes. He showed me an article in a pamphlet relating to a Reverend Bolitho originating from that chapel who was active in the work in Australia. I think it was in a B.C. magazine. I am the 3x grandson of Thomas Bolitho who married Christian Sandry in 1806, and they lived and worked in the area. As far as I can tell all the Bolithos in the nearby hamlets were connected to James & Christian. Has anyone any idea who this minister might be? I know most of the family moved away in the late 1800s, including to Australia. If I can find anything, it would be of interest not only to me, but the local Methodists.
