John Henry Boulter (formally Parry)

Have received this reply today from Staffs county council
Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately it is with regret that I inform you that we do not hold any information regarding Mr Parry as our retention period for child care records does not extend that far back in time. Any files regarding Mr Parry during his childhood would have been destroyed.
 
:( Sad when that happens for what ever reason. Still I guess there'd have been a veritable mountain of papers & where to store them?
We'll just have to hope for people contact & memories of Family. There were other Parry Families in Cannock back then--probably related.
 
I am making headway now with kind help from you all.I have a family tree showing Johns Grandmother Marry Jane Boulter(later married William Parry). Mary Jane had 4 brothers and sisters. Elizabeth born 1857 Sarah Ann born 1859 William Henry born 1860 and Henry George born 1869. I have filled in the gaps for Elizabeth Mary Jane and Henry but am struggling with Sarah Ann and William Henry. Can anyone help please

Do you have the family in the 1871 census (They should all be in that one). If so, what is the reference, please?

I learned very recently that Sarah anns first husband was killed in an accident hence her children having their Fathers name Boulter. But thank you for this because I didnt have John Lunn on my radar x x
 
John is having a major operation on Saturday and I really want to collate as much info as I can for him to read before he goes to hospital. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me so far x

How sad.

Liverpool Daily Post 11 September 1869
Fatal Blast Furnace Accident.
One of those accidents by which considerable fatality is brought about in the iron making district, has occurred at Wednesbury. At the works of Messrs Lloyd & Foster two men were engaged in running the iron out of the blast furnace, when a portion of the side of the huge erection blew out, and they were horribly bespattered with the scoria and molten metal. As speedily as possible they were conveyed to the South Staffordshire Hospital, in Wolverhampton, where one of them quickly died. His name is Henry Boulter, and he leaves a wife and four children totally unprovided for. Hopes are entertained of the recovery of his companion.
 
Poor Sarah Ann was expecting their fifth baby when her husband died.
