the daughter of William Hickling a confectioner, married on Oct 5th 1841 at Sneinton,
(Snenton), on the outskirts of Nottingham England. Ann appears to already

who may well be James' son. Another son, James John, was born on 18th
September 1844 his father stated to be a victualler of Saint Mary's Gate
Nottingham. On November 21st 1844 there was a terrible train crash on the
Nottingham to Beeston line in which James Bolestridge was fatally injured.
At that time he was said to be the Landlord of the "Three Horse Shoes
Derby Road" Ann re-married the following March to widower
William Smith, a hosier and the family emigrated to America in
1847. They have yet to be found in the 1850 census but the 1860 census
lists them all with the surname
Smith at
Philadelphia.
