Lumley CastleBOLAM

At this time, I am heavily researching the BOLAM surname.  Apparently, DAVID BOLAM, son of Robert Bolam, had a brother named WILLIAM BOLAM (In addition to 6 other siblings).  They were both born near Lumley Castle, County of Durham, England.  The siblings were born in Chester-Le-Street, Houghton-Le-Spring and Kelloe.  (Lumley Castle is pictured on the left)   David and William came to the US about 1862, returned to England in 1871 and returned to the US in 1873.  They lived near DuBois and Falls Creek, PA and were coal miners.
