Looking for Thomas Bodsworth & family

[Barnes75]

Hi

Richard Bodsworth seemed to travel around a lot for work found him on various census.

1841 Tollgate keeper, Great Linford, Buckinghamshire
1851 Tollgate keeper, Paddington, London
1861 Down as Bedsworth Watchman, Marlebone, London with wife Ann. 

The first Thomas could have been buried anywhere in the county.

Hi Sarah

i know Richard moved away a lot could he have died and be buried somewhere else

For Richard's death see reply 63 by Marilyn.

I am afraid that I do not agree that Thomas of 1811 would be buried out of
Northamptonshire as other Children are baptised in Piddington in early 1800's.

It could be that the 2 Thomas's are the same as 2 baptisms for 1 child
if it was un well and not expected to recover was not unusual.

It would be to have 2 children in family with the same name though both living.

Richard didn't leave Northamptonshire until much later.

Hi Sandy,

 I and others presumed the first Thomas had died either at birth or at a very young age, I have found through researching my mums family (Hennessy) this was the case all too often in Australia's early years. I found that families tended to name children after their deceased siblings.

Hi Marty

I agree entirely.

Having searched through the records for both Parishes though
there certainly is no burial.

Of course they may have gone somewhere between the years
but I did not have time to look elsewhere.

As I said previously I have found a lot of information but I am trying
to list the information for other Rootschatters here first as I am going
out in awhile and it will take a long time to type your lineage.

Okay Cuz

I am going to start with Baptisms transcripts at Woburn under all variants.  Hopefully may help others coming along later also.

Hi Sandy

See you've been busy again.  Thank you for supplying the information.  Although i had some of the information it has helped me get my Bodworths another generation back.  Now i know that i was on the right track.

Thanks again

Hi Sandy

James Bodsworth and Ann Page Marriage. Would that be Richard Bodsworth b1789 parents.  If it is they left the wedding a bit late.

Hi everyone

I'm still following this with interest even though it's gone beyond what I wanted to know for my own tree.

Despite two baptisms for Thomas Bodsworth I'm sure the one baptised at Horton in 1816 is the same man who married Sarah Hakes and then went to Tasmania.   He was age 22 when he married Sarah in March 1839 which makes a baptism in October 1816 OK.   He was 69 when he died in Australia in July 1886 so that again fits with a birth in 1816.

Maybe Richard & Ann Bodsworth were too poor in 1811 to pay for a burial.   I have a friend whose grandmother grew up in Newfoundland and she remembered going to the churchyard late at night to bury dead babies in hallowed ground.
