Looking for Thomas Bodsworth & family

[mgeneas]

Our purpose is to establish whether this Thomas in Australia is the one from Piddington/Horton (who disappeared without trace) or if he is a different Thomas entirely.

HI Jenn

Well that looks like the correct death details from what is known.

Thanks a bunch.

Hi

Thats sounds like the right couple they had 11 children thats nothing my granddad was 1 of 16 Bodsworth and there is a line with nearly 20 children in it.

Totally agree Marilyn but unless we find him going across the
water can you suggest any other way.

Think we need to take a breather and just see what else
we can verify as fact.

Do we know who did the original research and made the link to Piddington/Horton Thomas?
Somebody, somewhere must have found it on a death or marriage record in Australia - unless they made a wild guess.

Well  he did marry in Tasmania but  the  Tasmanian early  BDM's hold very little information.

You can download the death certificate from Victoria for $17.50 Aus

it does give a lot of information  ie  place of birth parents how long in the colonies etc

On Reply 43 Jenn has a death for a Thomas who matches parents as being his.

Sandy

Totally agree Jenn

I have a few they are a God send.

Wish the English records were the same.
