Looking for Thomas Bodsworth & family

[mgeneas]

Thanks for those Marty. that all makes sense now
I have found the parents, Richard and Ann in the census

1841 Richard is in Great Linford, Buckinghamshire and a tollgate keeper, fits in with the death certificate
Ann is in Piddington

!851 Richard is in Paddington, Middlesex, still a tollgate keeper, birthplace Woburn, Bedfordshire. Ann is still in Piddington and indexed as Bedsworth (as all the Bodsworth in Piddington are)

1861 Both are in Marylebone, Middlesex, indexed by ancestry as Bedsworth

Their deaths are between 1861 and 1871 registerred in Marylebone

Richards baptism at Woburn is in the IGI at familysearch.org

Hi Marty

You really have come up trumps!   Thank you very much for all the information.   I'm now convinced the Thomas Bodsworth who married Sarah Hakes is the same man that then went to Australia and married Ellen Abigail Doherty.

I've found out lots more about her life after he left too, so I'm really pleased - not bad for my very first post!!

Many thanks once again

Diana

Thanks Marilyn and Diana,

 That means what I have back to Richard and Ann is correct, after that its been guess work for me, can anybody else help here? or point me to a source? as I dont have any real information any further back than Richard and Ann.
If I can help with anything from my end please feel free to ask.

Regards
Marty

Thats an excellent result all  round.

I  do  so love Rootchatters, allways willing to help.

Marty  do  you  want any  marriages or deaths of the children in Australia or do you  have that information to hand?

   Wow .....

  Go to bed and look what happens.

  Marty...... as Richard comes from Woburn I can check the PR's when I go to Leighton Buzzard this week......I cannot yet tie mine in but they are then all in the same area Woburn.
 My Benjamin's father was Thomas...so far 3 options for him ..1772 Luton 1773 Woburn 1779 Tilsworth so need to dig about .

  I will see what is in PR'S for details .

Hi Jenn,
 I would love any information you can provide as I really dont have a lot yet, I suspect the Bodsworths in Australia are quit huge. I also notice that you are researching "Hennessy", my mothers side is Hennessy and for the last 12 months I and 6 other 3rd cousins have been gathering info, I am getting it all together for an eventual book.
Have you looked at my family tree? are we researching the same Hennessy's?

Hi Tazzie,
Can't wait to see what you find, thanks.

Marty

Marty

"my" Hennessy family is my great grandmother Ellen  she was born in Ireland father Denis Hennessy mother Jane Ryan.  She and her sister came to Australia to Cootamundra her brother Michael was allready  there.  Doesn't seem  to be a tie in  with your mob but who knows  they did have a cousin Callaghan that is who Michael gave on  his papers as allready being in Australia.

Will do  what I can for your Bodsworth

kind thoughts Jenn

Hi Sandy

I've got all those but where did James come from.  Maybe it was getting late when i researching for more children.
