Hi Tazzie

Nice to hear from you.   I don't suppose you can shed any light on the missing Thomas & his family can you?

   No not yet ....

  Bodsworths ...seem popular at the moment ...just ask Barnes on the Beds board .....

  I am stuck at Benjamin Bodsworth b @ 1799 at present he marries Abigale Durrant...I have been told his father was Thomas Botsworth who married Mary Denton in Sundon 1798...but have no proof.

  I haven't looked at this side for a while ...so maybe time to revisit and see what I can find.

    Will get back to you ....

George was registered as:

       George Old Bosworth JAS 1845 Hardingstone Vol 15 Page 259

There is or was a village in Northants. called Old which may have also played into the choice of the child's middle name.

I suppose Thomas BODSWORTH was transported then.

From the 1837-1860 Northamptonshire C of E marriage index here is a remarriage for his left at home wife

Richard PEARSON of this parish widower, full age, labourer, son of Edward a labourer
to
Sarah BODWORTH of this parish, widow, of full age, laundress, father Thomas HAKES a labourer
31st March 1851 at St Peter's in Northampton

Hi Marylin

I can't tell you how happy I am to have this information.   I thought there had to be a Pearson in there somewhere as in 1861 Sarah is married to William Garner and the only marriage I could find for him was to a Sarah Pearson in 1857.   I reckon Richard Pearson would be the father of Joseph Pearson Bodsworth who was born in 1849.   Sarah had quite a colourful life!

I had wondered if Thomas Bodsworth was transported but haven't found anything yet to confirm or deny it.   I've searched his name in the National Archives with zero results.

Many thanks,

Diana

These are links to a Thomas BODSWORTh who was in the Bedford gaol.
I wonder if they both refer to the same Thomas. (And if there is a connection)
