Re: origins of Bolitho

I am researching great friend of my g.g.grandfather - John Thomas Johns who lived 1835-1901Penzance and St Austell.He was known to relatives as Hector Bolitho, a poet and writer.
As I believe he was a member of the Bolitho's, who were a family of Victorian entrepreneurs and had two sisters, one named Norah/Nora, I am most anxious to trace Hector.I am at present, writing a novel based on John T Johns' diaries, as he had quite a colourful life.
Any information you might have about this branch of the Bolitho family would be appreciated.
They were a very religious family and there is a stained glass memorial window to one of the sisters in Truro Cathedral.
Many thanks
