Looking for Thomas Bodsworth & family

[tropicalj]

Hello  there Sandy

Just to clarify  are you looking for an arrival in  Tasamania for a Thomas Bodsworth born ?

Hi Sandy

I was wondering what Tabitha's surname was.   She and Thomas Hakes are my g.g.g.grandparents.

I have found a Richard Pearson, age 53, in the 1851 Census.   He's a widower and living next door to Sarah's brother Joseph Hakes - the name is written Eakes in this census quite a lot, which is probably how it sounded to the enumerator.   He's my best candidate for Sarah's second husband but he could be a couisn or uncle.   Maybe that's why they didn't marry in Piddington.   I reckon the marriage would have been bigamous anyway if Thomas Bodsworth was still alive in Australia.

Hi Jenn

Nice to see you.  

Reading the story it seems Thomas may have been a prisioner so yes please if any mention.

He was born in Piddington Northampton in 1816.

Hi Jenn

Now I am getting a head-ache.     

Different birth date correct wife.

I think this is the one Diana mentioned at the begining of the thread.

Could have pretended to be younger to impress her.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi

Just looked on the IGI website for Thomas Bodsworth for 1811, 1817 and 1823 and all the pages come back with the same parents Richard and Ann Brice although some have been added by the public.
