Hi Evonne, The only Thomas Bolling (sic) I can find with northern and occupational connections is: Name: Thomas Bolling Age: 66 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1785 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Masha (I think it's supposed to be Martha) Bolling Gender: M (Male) Where born: Bramworth, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Doncaster Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch County/Island: Yorkshire Street Address: Seniors Yard Occupation: Labourer Thomas Bolling 66 Masha Bolling 53 John Bolling 8 I would caution against assuming that he isn't dead by 1875, as this is a notoriously unreliable area on certifications. It may also have to be borne in mind that Thomas could have also been made up for appearances sake on a marriage certificate. The lack of any significant Bolling(s) entries on the Civil Registration Index may also point to the surname not being spelled correctly... ie Bowling(s), Balling(s), Rolling(s) etc etc. Genealogy is fun, isn't it? :o) Regards, Sally
