I am trying to find information about William Boleyn who was born around 1750. His wife was Maria who was born in 1757 and was buried on 28.11.1827 at St Peter and St Paul's in Sheffield. They were paupers from Doncaster. Maria Boylynn (as written on burial record) was 70 years old when she died. She was already a widow.

They had 4 sons:

Caesar Boleyn, who was a Chairmaker. Born in Doncaster on 16/2/1800. He died 4/3/1869 age 70 from Bronchitis at 37 Brown Street, Sheffield.

William Bylin was Christened on 13 September 1793 in Holbeach, Lincolnshire. His parents were William and Maria Bylin. It stated on the Christening record that they were paupers and strangers from Doncaster.

Joseph Boyling was Christened on 29 April 1790 in Boston, Lincs

and

James Boyling was Christened on 10 March 1796 in Whaplode Drive, Lincolnshire.

Hope someone can help!

Many thanks

Hi Lynn,

You seem to have gotten it all sorted. What is it that you are looking for in regards to Sheffield?

Hi Elaine,
This is tied in with my John Biggins. Lynn is trying to find something more out about William Boleyn/Boyle/Bylin and his wife Maria unknown.

William and Maria are the parents of Caesar Boyle my John Biggins' father-in-law.

The surname is a nightmare.

Hi Cuz,

I thought that's what she was after but to be honest I wouldn't start in Sheffield.

Doncaster would be my first stop followed by Lincolnshire as three of the four children listed were born there.

Marie probably moved in with Caesar after her husbands death so
Sheffield may not feature at all.

If Doncaster was the birthplace of William & Maria I would start with a marriage. Quite often they would put the Parishes of the person not otp even this early. I think the reason they would mention Doncaster on the 1793 baptism so they could charge Doncaster Poor Laws for any expenses that may have occurred. Not an expert on these but Doncaster Family History Society would I am sure help.

Maria would have been 33 when she had Joseph in 1790 so their could be other children or she could have been married before.

Just bits and pieces that come to mind.

Thanks for your advice Elaine. William is proving to be a bit elusive at the moment but I will keep digging!
