Henry Bolton was born on the 30th March 1823 in Stone by Dartford, Kent son of William Bolton and Sarah Browning who married on the 1oth August 1815 in Wilmington, Kent [IGI]. I believe that Henry was one of eight children.
Sarah Ann Woodward was born in 1823 in Burnham Somerset, daughter of John Woodward and Ann Brown who married on the 10th April 1804 in East Brent Somerset. Sarah was one of ten children and it remains a mystery how she could have met and married someone from Kent.
They married on the 5th of August 1848 at the Parish Church, Stone by Dartford.
The 1851 census shows them to be living at Lamb Cliff, Stone with their first child Sarah Ann Bolton. Henry's occupation is listed as a labourer.
The 1861 census shows the addition of four children, Jane (9), Emily (7), Henry (4) and George (2), the address is Chalk Cliff, Stone and Henry is working in the local chalk pits as are quite a number of his neighbours.
10 years later the address has become Lamb Cliff again, 5 boys fill up the house, Henry (14), George (12), Thomas (8), William (5) and John (1).
Henry Bolton died on the 28th February 1880 in Swanscombe and Sarah Ann died 22 Jan 1887 in Swanscombe aged 63. Yet to find Sarah in 1881.
