Edit -- I should have mentioned first that the reason I dredged this up was that the mystery was mentioned in my thread about Reuben Cooper -- so it still seems to be unsolved. Not just randomly digging up old stuff this time!


Looks like James had died pre 1901?

Name: James Bolger
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1846
Year of Registration: 1900
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 54
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 374

-- only one with a matching birthdate who was living in 1891.

Possibly Annie too?

Name: Ann Bolger
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1847
Year of Registration: 1899
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 52
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 412


Is this your Francis -- actually considerably older than reported in 1891?

Name: Francis James Bolger
Year of Registration: 1879
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 3[56]5

-- no, that's James, per 1881:

Annie Bolger 32 - born Liverpool
James Bolger 36 - cabinetmaker, born Ireland
James Bolger 2
Margaret Bolger 10
Mary Bolger 6
Thomas Bolger 4

-- and could be him in 1901:

Name: James Bolger
Age: 20
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1881
Relation: Cook
Gender: Male
Where born: Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Civil Parish: Vessels
Ecclesiastical parish: Liverpool St Matthias
Town: Liverpool
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England


I don't see birth records that match up for either Francis or John, e.g.


Name: James Bolger + Anne Doyle?
Year of Registration: 1869
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Liverpool (1837-1934)
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 119

I'm officially stumped!
