There is a tree on Ancestry with this family (no parents, unfortunately), were you aware of it?
-

Birth registration above has mothers maiden name Warrington
Caroline Body Jun 1849 also St Luke mothers name Warrington
-
From the tree mentioned by chempat, this would probably be Mary Jane

1901 349/134/16
James Boddey 42 yrs b St Luke’ s with Jane and family including Jane Sykes, 80yrs mother in law which confirms the Sykes connection.
The two censuses here show James born 1857 and 1859 :-\
-

There is another James of similar age and birthplace married to Elizabeth.
He is James Gutridge Boddy with father Thomas according to marriage in 1879.
JH,
What have you found from your searches?
-
Do you have his marriage?
1889 December quarter Mile End Old Town
James Body and Mary Jane Thorp
Just to add, there's a Thorp witness [William Alfred] to Mary Jane Boddey's marriage to Edwin Garrod

Thanks, all I will collate all this,
Mabel bagshawe =Funny thing we all knew of Mary j's half-brother (Thorp) but he comes up everywhere as Frank? and was known as Frank.?
JH
-
Looking at the 1891 family posted earlier Frank is another half brother b c1888 - as a reminder
James Body 34
Jane Body 35
William Body 13
Frank Body 3
Jane Body 10/12
William & Frank are registered as Thorps but presumably are using their step father's surname here
-
Well, I'm surprised to find Frank had a brother with him, we always thought he stayed with his mother (M.J.Thorp nee Sykes) while the rest of her Brood grew up and left, Frank was single all his life and lived with his Half Sister M.J.Boddey when she Married.
That info is a big piece of the Jigsaw to the puzzle, Thank you Mabel Bagshawe
