London and Middlesex / Body (Boddy) Family in England
« on: Saturday 27 March 21 04:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I am looking for my ancestors who immigrated from England to Australia.
My gt grandfather was John Body born 1850 in London area and migrated to Australia, died 1919 in Melbourne Australia. He married a Mary Smith in Melbourne Australia in 1881.

His father was also a John Body b 1819 d unknown. Occupation believed to be a tailor. He married Ann Holland (1818-1905) in Lambeth England.

My 3rd gt Grandfather is believed to be William Body but this is unsubstantiated ( b&d unknown)

I have no knowledge of English ancestors.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
regards

The Lighter Side / Baptisms in Ireland / Scotland
« on: Wednesday 03 January 18 02:54 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone please advise on the following,
Was there a reason why children born in Ireland in the 1800s were baptised in Scotland.

I have a number of descendants born in Ireland over a few decades in the 1800s but most were baptised in Scotland.

They all lived in Ireland until their deaths.

thank-you

Family History Beginners Board / LESLIE ERNEST BODDY
« on: Saturday 07 November 15 10:41 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to confirm my grandfather's parents.There is confusion in documents showing his mother as Mary Smith (birth) and Mary Brown (death). fathers name John? surname may have been spelt Body.
The Smith side shows brothers and sisters  but on the Brown side he is the only son.
Both families, if they are different, lived together or as neighbours at 54 Garfield Street Richmond or at 52 Garfield Street Richmond as per Electoral rolls.
My grandfather's WW1 service record shows his next of kin as Mary Boddy 54 Garfield street Richmond but there is numerous address change notations. On the Smith side there is another Leslie.
Spidermonkey you helped me previously finding my grandmother Thelma May Somerville - are you able to assist again

regards

Hello
I am looking for any information on my mother Thelma May Somerville born 1928 Melbourne - married Keith Ernest Boddy.

Her mothers name was possibly Rose???-  Father deserted them - mother died when mum was a young girl and she was taken in by the Mutimer family for a while in the Carlton area. She then grew up with her cousins Harold and Frank Velo.

regards
Harold
