He was baptised within the Mormon Church on 15/2/1849 in Sheffield. Records state: Cesar Bolyn had been baptised within the Mormon Church on the 15/2/1849. The individual who baptised him was Elder Whitely and the branch at which he had been entered was the Sheffield branch. His residence at the time he entered the church was Prokters Yard, Pinston Street in Sheffield. There appeared a second baptism in the year 1853 by one Elder Glover. Cesar was ordained as a teacher by Elders Bond and Webb on the 9 September 1859 and was ordained an Elder on the 21 September 1856. There seemed to be a further baptismal reference on the 9 February 1857 to him.
Most interestingly on the 18 August 1867 he was cut off for apostacy. It seemed likely that he was expelled from the church at this point. His daughter Selena was baptized on 8 April 1848 aged 15 and was ordained a Deacon on 3 March 1851.
Ceasar married Rebecca Glave, a button polisher, Rotherham Parish Church on 23/8/1821. He is buried at St Mary’s, Brammall Lane, Sheffield – buried on 8/3/1869.
His name was mis-spelt throughout his life, e.g. Cesar, Ceaser. Caecer, Ceasar, Cassall, Boleyn, Boleyne, Bolyn, Boyling, Boylynn.
His parents are listed as William and Maria Boyling, also spelt Bolyn and Bylin. On the Christening records it says that they were paupers and strangers from Doncaster.
Ceasar and Rebecca had several children, Agnes and Rebecca who died as babies and surviving children Rebecca, Emma, Selena, Maria and William.
Records from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints show the following extract from the Divine Authenticity of the Book Of Mormon, Liverpool 1850:
“Devonshire Lane, Sheffield, May 18th 1849. A little girl, the daughter of Brother and Sister Bolyn, Pinstone Street, was seized with the scarlet fever; the mother was afraid and fetched the doctor who prepared a concoction for the child to take, but when the father came home, he put the medicine away and procured some olive oil which was consecrated by Elders Dunn, Burgess and myself, and was then administered by the father and the disease left her that same hour; their little boy was then seized with the same kind of fever; when the doctor came in to see the little girl he saw her playing about with the children and said “Why she is better!” “Yes sir” said the mother “and now the little boy’s begun”. “Have you given the little girl all the medicine?” “Sir?” “Oh well continue to give the boy the same medicine and he will soon be better”. They attended to the ordinance of healing, instituted by our Saviour and the boy was restored the same day; another of the family was then seized and they administered the same medicine (olive oil) which procured an instantaneous cure. “Yours in the true covenant, J. Long, Presiding Elder”.
