Hi can you help me? I am not sure where to start with my search. I am researching the Bolton Family who came from Whitstable, Kent. I am looking for information on Joseph Bolton born c. 1833 and his wife Jane Bolton b. Gillespie c.1834 they married in c.1853. They had a few children and one of them was Annie Bolton born 31 Dec 1864. Annie was my g/grandmother. She left England to South AFrica in approximately 1882 I do not know if anyone else went with her. I have looked at census records for the area and they seem to have the family living at 9 Victoria Str Whitstable, but I am not sure if this is correct. I would appreciate any help and information about this family and history of them in the area. Thank you Helen

Marriage of 263 1853 Jan 30
BOLTON Joseph (f/a) Mariner (Ba) of otp (S of) George (Labourer)
GILLESPIE Jane Ann (Minor) (Sp) of otp (D of) Robert (Labourer)

Not sure if this is what/who you are looking for? - No sign of Annie though.
