      3. FHL film 231907 "High Priest Records for Spanish Fork": "9 Jan 1870 Nicholas Boak ordained a High Priest by Elder Geo. W. Wilkins."

      4. The following names are found in the following document: "Names of Persons and Sureties indebted to the Perpetual Emigrating Fund company 1850 to 1877," (also known as the 1877 Debtors Index) by Richard L. Jensen and Marine C. Ward. Document in PDF form found at <http://mormonhistoricsitesfoundation.org/publications/studies_fall2000/mhs1.2JensenWardFall2000.pdf>:
      Boak, Nicholas - Elizabeth. Margaret: 1868.
      Burnhope, Isaac - Elizabeth. Thomas, Betsey: 1868.

      CHRISTENING:
      1. Online Ordinance Index has the following extracted record per FHL Printout film 6904690, film source 0090593, dates 1738-1875, batch C059291: Nicholas Boak, christened 21 Jul 1814, Castle Sowerby, Cumberland, England with parents Nicholas and Sarah Boak.
      Note that this christening takes place 2 days before the the date of birth of 23 Jul 1814 as reported in burial records and by Nicholas himself in the various temple ordinances in which he participated during his lifetime. The Christening record would take precedence in my mind.

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Charlton: Per wife's obituary: 1872.

      BURIAL:
      1. FHL film 873714 "Spanish Fork, Utah Co., Utah Cemetery Records" copied by Nora W.
