Help with Andrew Boddon of Carsphairn

[Gadget]

Hi 

Just a possibility but there might be a link.

Do any of you know of a William Bodden(alt spellings) who went to Wales (Merionethshire)  from the Carsphairn/Kells area in the 1830s and died there?

Sorry nothing showing a William on my documents, I have no firm evidence for any of Andrew Bodden's relations except the possible link to James Bodden as being his father, as shown on the MI's provided by Matt.

Hi

Thanks for checking for me. His name is mentioned in a letter than one of my ancestors wrote and I've been trying to locate this particular Bodden family for a few years.

The letter refers to his early life and just before his death circa 1833.

Regards

Hello.

I know the feeling .. iv'e been trying to trace my lot on and off for years.
I have found odd Boddons in Wales / Cumbria / Northumberland and Lancashire (where my lot hailed from )
Many appear to have come out of Scotland (generally Kirkbrideshire) around 1790 / 1830 , but have struggled to establish any tangiable links between them.
I have found that some names .. i.e. William , Robert , John , Jane , Marion & Elizabeth keep cropping up across these families . Family ties or coincidence ?? I dont know , but think it highly likely there is a tie-up a generation or two back from Andrew , if only Parents/Grandparents can be found..

My father would never talk about family ... other than that his father was a bully etc. etc. and family didn't keep in touch.

Hi Jane 

I'm interested in your 'Lancashire lot' because there just might be a link.

Hello Gadget .

I am waiting on certs. to confirm my G G Grandfather Robert born 1841 back to Andrew Boddon & Margaret McMillan as identified by Tom.

Robert moved to Liverpool I believe around 1862

He married in 1865 and had 6 children
Augustus 1867  ..... died 1878
Margaret 1868   ....  still trying to trace
John 1869          ....  moved to London and married 1900
Marion 1870      .....  moved to London and married 1905
Andrew 1872  ........ died 1878
& William 1875 My G Grandfather
Robert also died in 1878 .

I have found 2 other Boddons in Lancs and 1 in Cumbria who I had hoped to find as members of Roberts family , but sadly not .
They may possibly be Uncles or cousins , but until I can find more ties to Andrew ( parents or siblings ) I have no idea .

Will keep in touch if I uncover anything else.

Jane

Hi Penny
My email address was deleted by my provider for some reason and I haven't been on the site for some time.

Do you require any specific information or do you have any?

I came to a dead end with regards to my origional query/ancestor and the thread seems to cover most of the information available but if there is anything I can help with let me know
Tom
