The photos on this article don’t show up for me, except for the lady in the buggy at the top . . . I would love to see them! Is it just me or are others unable to see the photos? Also, I can’t see the article that is supposed to accompany the photos.
Are there descendants of William and Emily Bolton still in the area?
Hi again……..I have made some corrections today……if you go to the FAMILY section in the right hand column and hit the Bolton-Lyon file you should see the photos [20-30]. The letter file following the pictures is being problemmatic and we have so far not got it onto the site. Still working at it.
Please let me know if you still cannot see the photos

I can’t see the photos or article either. Both would be very valuable to me, as I am writing a potted biography of Helena and John Lyons for the history of a Club they belonged to in Picton.
Yes, I can see the photos now. I eagerly await the letter.
William and Emily Bolton (mentioned in the caption of the phot of Helena Bolton-Lyons) are my great grandparents. Does anyone know what relationship Helena was to William?
This site is wonderful. A great initiative.
Cheers,
Alan Weekes
feris henry bolton was my great great great great grandfather
Wonderful suprise to find this section of your site!
Am not familiar with the letter mentioned. I do have other photos of the Bolton Cottage as well as extended family members.
I descend from the Lyons in Newboro. I would like to touch base with Richard and Diane. I am still trying to piece together all of the families that intermarried before/after immigrating from Mayo/Sligo Ireland.
Look forward,
Bob Limburg
Looking to connect with Richard Richmond and Diane Haskins concerning the Lyons/Bolton families. I am trying to connect the various branches of Lyons from Newboyne/Portland/Newboro back to county Mayo Ireland. I am hoping that the letter mentioned will assist.
Thank you for you cooperation,
Bob Limburg
i am a greatgranddaughter of william and emily bolton my mother was barbara coates bolton,married name wainwright hellina lyons was her aunt her father was LL Bolton
The maiden name of John Lyons’ wife, Martha, is important to the biography of him I am writing. The letter on this site from Richard Richmond mentions it twice, but I can’t ‘decode’ it. At first glance it might in both cases be Crossbee, but the last few letters of it don’t match with the rest of Mr. Richmond’s writing. Can he or anyone else please put me out of my misery?
Regards,
John Moore
Re: William and Helena Bolton:
Alan:
Helena was William’s daughter.

I see reference in John Moore’s Dec 2010 post, to Richard Richmond’s Lyons’ letter. Please forward my email to Richard or Diane Haskins. I am a Lyons descendant and have much info concerning:
Lyons, Polk, Bolton, Rogers, Gardiner and other Irish families from NewBoyne, Portland and Newboro. Thank you for your hard work on this wonderful site.
