    1. Re: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] Volunteer in 1841

    3. Hi Sue, yes please, I'd love to know who was living at The Volunteer in 1841! My ancestors, Thomas & Alice Fielding were there in 1851 and in 1861 before Thomas died in 1862 and they moved to Toppings. In 1851, Alice's widowed father, Thomas Redford was living next door at 16 Club Houses with some of her siblings and in 1871 he was on his own and had moved in with the widowed Alice Fielding, his daughter. Also in the Volunteer in 1851 were James and Catherine Isherwood and their children, but in 1861, James and Catherine were gone but their eldest son, Richard was there with his wife and daughter. The landlord changed between 1851 and 1861 and in 1861 it was Henry Hamer, whose family owned the pub into the 20th century as I was told by James Riding and as shown in the picture which Martin Briscoe kindly sent to me (thanks to both of you) I'd very much appreciate a copy of the 1841 census, and will send you the 1851 and 1861, if they are of interest to you? Cheers, Pete Hulme
