William Bartholomew (1833 - )

William Bartholomew was born in Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire in 1833, the third child of Joseph Bartholomew (1806 - ) and Eliza Knight (1809 - ).

Presumably sometime prior to 1853, William married Mary A. Bartholomew (birth-name unknown) (1832 - ).

William and Mary had five children, all of whom were born in Great Bedwyn:

Eliza A. Bartholomew (1853 - )
Martha Bartholomew (1855 - )
George J. Bartholomew (1858 - )
Lydia E. Bartholomew (1865 - )
Harry I Bartholomew (1867 - )
