I tried a few books, microfiche etc here at home, and finally in the
book of gravestones transferred from the Sandhills to Bunnerong, I
found your BOLINs. Comparing the deaths on the stones with the
ones in the BDM indicates that they are the right family. Do you
have access to this book? They're no.978 on p.54

George BOLTON died 3 Dec 1834 aged 29, also Ellen wife of
George BOLTON jnr, d.12 feb 1855 aged 2(3) years. Also Ellen,
dau. of George and Ellen BOLIN, d. 24 Nov 1858 aged 3 yrs 9 mths.
