She came with her husband and her sister and brother- in-law to Berlin in 1801. After the church services the very fashionable Mrs. Boldero would wait until the rest of the congregation had left the sanctuary and then would say, "My dear, I think we may venture now." She would lift her skirt daintily, in the English way, and take her husband's arm and walk about the church yard, arm in arm. Although she was friendly with a few of the young ladies in the neighborhood she was evidently a bit remote. At her husband's funeral a nearby neighbor of some forty years attended and Mrs. Boldero, noticing her, asked, "Who is that woman?" and then reportedly said, "I do not know her ; it annoys me to have her here." She died at age 81.
See Edmund Boldero's record for additional details.
