WILLIAM AND FRANCES ANN BOULTBEE

    William, born in 1774, was the fourth son of Joseph Boultbee of Baxterley and Catherine Dabbs (see Chapter V). A few letters have survived, written in 1792, 1793 and 1794 by the parents to William, and the letters indicate that William was contemplating marriage to a Miss Walker, whose guardian was Thomas Ainslie, the Collector of Customs at Quebec City, Canada. Mr. Ainslie did not approve, and the marriage did not occur. William then courted Miss Frances Ann Appleyard the daughter of Robert Appleyard and his wife Frances of Holborn, part of London. William and Frances were married September 17, 1795 at St. Andrew's Church, Holborn, and resided at 43 Bishopsgate, London, for the first year of their marriage. By 1797 they were in Surrey, and by 1804 in Clay Hill, Beckenham, Kent. Their family consisted of four sons, Felix, Alfred, Horatio and Washington, and two daughters, Frances and Rosalind.
    William's father died in 1806 leaving him £35,000 as his share of a very large estate. It is assumed that William continued to work, although at what occupation in those years is not known. The Industrial Revolution was occurring, living costs were rising, and people were questioning the actions of politicians. By 1828, William was engaged in the Reform Movement of the Whig Party, not as an elected member, but rather as a working volunteer and organizer. He continued in this role until at least 1843, meeting and corresponding with other reformists. A few of these letters have survived of which the most interesting is one from Daniel O'Connell of Dublin, who in May 1839 wrote to William, in part:-

These Reform Principles principles I should like to see worked out:

1st.	Moral force -- that of opinion, peaceable co-operation -- and none other.
2nd.	Household suffrage, including all married lodgers -- and all journeymen having served a regular apprenticeship.
3rd.	The Ballot.
4th.	Triennial parliaments.
5th.	Freedom of Conscience.
6th.	Freedom of Commerce.
7th.	Representation diminished in number -- and fixed to districts of equal population.

In reference to this William, I have a recollection of his calling at Salford Vicarage one day at about dinner time, I was but a bit of a boy [about 1839]. He was on horseback, and did not come in, but talked to my father at the front door. When he had gone I remember father said that he [William] was the only Radical that ever bore the name of Boultbee, and he came from Birmingham.

She returned to her previous home in Babson Park, Florida, and spoke to her half-sister Eleanor Longfield-Smith, a writer and a poet, who was kind enough to offer her a spare room for as long as she chose. The offer was accepted, and Rosamond was able to continue with her artwork and exhibited annually at the nearby Library. A very pleasant experience occurred in 1985, when the grandson of a friend of the family discovered a painting in his grandmother's attic signed by Alfred Ernest Boultbee.

1. Charles Douglas, born 1900, married Mary Carmen Killaly in 1943. He died in 1979. His elementary education was at The Wyck, Brighton, England until 1912. His subsequent education was at Ridley College, St. Catharines, Ontario, and at the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario. When he was 21, he asked his Uncle Jack Douglas for a job at his Ranch in Argentina. The uncle taught him basic Spanish so that he could learn the tricks-of-the-trade. Charles could already ride a horse. Now, he was qualified to go out to farms and buy skins for his uncle's hide business. In 1929, he was a stock broker at Ussher Son & Company, Toronto, and 1932 to 1936 was a salesman at Eaton's Department Store in Toronto. Charles was an officer in the Royal Canadian Artillery in World War II. After the War and up to 1957, he was a real estate agent with R.B.Rice & Sons in Toronto. From 1963 to 1968, he worked with the Ontario Government. In 1955, he and Mary bought Cressy Manor in Prince Edward County, Ontario and operated it as a summer guest house until 1961. In 1976, Charles bought a house in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where he and Mary lived for two years.
       There is a lovely story of Charles as remembered by the Reverend Michael Boultbee and his wife Ann of Dawlish, England, when they were on a visit to Toronto in the mid 1960s: Charles owned a very beautiful old Armstrong Siddeley motor car that was his pride and joy, but Charles at age 60+, was no longer capable of driving with confidence on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway! I seldom remember being so scared in a car. Many of us in Ontario also have fond memories of Charles and his beautiful old Armstrong-Siddeley motor car.
   Charles & Mary had two daughters:-
   1. Charlotte Mary, born 1947, married William Michael Reilly in 1972.
   2. Virginia, born 1959.

Betty and John received, as a wedding gift from her mother, an acre of riverside property, on which they had erected a two-storey log home. It was an adaptation of early 19th century Georgian Revival style homes of southern Ontario. The home has been considered for a heritage designation by the City of North York, and a copy of the City's report has been received by the Editors. The home was sold in 1959, and the present owners have maintained it in excellent condition. Betty and John had six sons and one daughter: John (Jake) born 1925, Reverend Harry Shalto Douglas born 1927, Reverend Thomas Robinson born 1928, Will Boultbee born 1930, Philip Peter Melancthon born 1932, Elizabeth Gillian born 1937, and Stephen Anthony (Stony) born 1940.

4. William Stair, known as Bill, born 1906, received his senior education at the Royal Military College at Kingston, Ontario. Among his activities at the College was that of repeating the Grace in Latin when in the dining hall. In adult life, Bill's memory of the Latin Grace was firm, and when the family gathered for special dinners, he was requested to give the blessing. His son, Bill Jr., has given us the ancient text, but not the translation, and it is recorded below for the family:-

   Nos miseie homines et egeni
   Pro cibis quos nobis
   Ad corpus subsidium
   Benignes largius
   Tibi Deus omnipotens
   Prae ductoris
   Dis gratia reverendum
   Aquines per Jesum Christum
   Dominum nostrum
         Amen

   Jean Boultbee of Elora, Ontario, has kindly supplied a broad translation, as follows:-

   To you, Almighty, and to us, abundantly generous God,
   We wretched and needy men
   Our leader before us,
   Give generous thanks for our food and bodily sustenance,
   Through holy Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
         Amen

         BOULTBEE, Andrew James 'Andy' - After fighting hard against his health issues for some time, Andrew James Boultbee, age 61, died suddenly on Tuesday, July 9th, 2019.
         He was born July 6th, 1958 in Toronto, Ontario to William and Diana Boultbee. Andy spent his teenage years in Iroquois Falls before the family moved to Picton. It is there that his lifelong love for cars and motorcycles flourished, with the expertise and opportunities that the county and people provided.
         Andy entered the workforce after high school and spent several years as a bicycle courier in Toronto. The combination of comradery and cycling helped shape one of the favourite periods of his life. Andrew was employed at the Ford Motor Company for the last 20 years and made many friends and acquaintances there over the years.
         Andrew is survived by his wife Elizabeth Galvin and two daughters Diana Nicole Boultbee and Danielle Alexis Boultbee. He is predeceased by his loving mother Diana Boultbee (nee Johnston). He will be missed by his father Bill (and Liz) Boultbee, brother John (and Joanne), and sister Laurel (and Greg) Price-Jones.
         Andy enjoyed everything motor related: the cars and motorcycles themselves, reading about their specs in magazines and watching them race. But nothing satisfied him more than riding his motorcycle.
         Andy will be missed by friends and family, and will always be known for his big heart.
         Andy and Elizabeth have 2 Daughters:
         1. Diana Nicole
         2. Danielle Alexis born 24 Jan 2002 and died 25 Jan 2022.
