Hello.
I'm helping out a friend with some research and am trying to find the details of the marriage between John Bolton & Mary Ann Green, 2nd quarter 1911 Chorley St Lawrence's.
John & Mary Ann emigrated to Australia but I haven't found when, Mary Ann bn abt 1866 Chorley, died 21st Dec 1925, Lithgow NSW.
It is who John Bolton was that is proving difficult to sort out, any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Bob

The marriage records for St Lawrence are on Ancestry but only to 1900
The is only two of that name in Chorley, Lancashire on the 1911 census (Family Search)
One is only 17 to other John Bolton 22 is with his family.

Mary Ann was living with her sister in 1911 - aged 45

I'm helping out a friend with some research and am trying to find the details of the marriage between John Bolton & Mary Ann Green, 2nd quarter 1911 Chorley St Lawrence's.
I couldn't see the marriage on line - census night 1911 was 2 April 1911
Mary Ann bn abt 1866 Chorley, died 21st Dec 1925, Lithgow NSW.
Is this Mary Ann GREEN bn 1866, single with her sister Elizabeth on 1911 census

Yes age confirmed by her death in 1925 and gravestone in Lithgow (Died 21st Dec 1925 age 59 yrs, beloved wife of John).
Yes that is Mary Ann with her sister in 1911.
-
Mary Ann Green was baptised at St Laurence Chorley on 4 Jun 1865
Father: Thomas Green, joiner Mother: Elizabeth
To find out more about her husband John Bolton you would need to obtain the marriage cert. to find out his father's name occupation etc....
Have you found a death for John Bolton to confirm his age?
-
No I haven't found his death yet.
-
I wonder if this is them - no detail of their ages

This departure date would mean they left immediately after marriage if they married qtr 2 and she was still single on 2nd April (1911 census)

Mary Ann bn abt 1866 Chorley, died 21st Dec 1925, Lithgow NSW.
Do you have an address for Mary Ann?
There is this electoral entry
John Bolton
Electoral Date: 1930/1932
Electoral Place: Lithgow, MacQuarie, New South Wales, Australia
Residence Address: Hassan Walls Road, Lithgow
Occupation: Ironworker
-
I saw this entry but dismissed it, as far as I know John & Mary Ann settled in NSW most probably in the Lithgow area as this is where Mary Ann died.
When Mary Ann died in 1925 address is same as the 1930 electoral entry i.e Hassans Walls Rd, Lithgow.
-
So if the address & area are correct as per her death cert - why did you dismiss the 1930 entry?
If John was a similar birthyear as Mary and alive in 1930 - then you have a timescale from 1930 to around 1950 for a death for him which may give you more info
