Ames family of Bodvari...
« on: Sunday 22 January 06 08:27 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone,
I am just starting to do my family tree and it has led me to Bodvari/Bodfari.
My greatgrandad, George Bain, was adopted by Elizabeth Ames (married name) of Bodvari. He lived with her in Bodvari from at least age 4 (1881) until he left to be a footballer in Lancashire at some point before 1901, when he is on the census in St. Helens, lodging with another family from Bodvari called Roberts.
This lady, Elizabeth Ames, lived until she was 85 (died in 1906) so I am hoping that the trail in Bodvari has not yet gone cold. She was 56 when she adopted my greatgrandad, and I have a feeling he was somehow related to her. We think that he was 'born out of wedlock' and adopted by Elizabeth Ames. George was born in Liverpool, so any links from Bodvari to Liverpool around that time would be very helpful.
Do any of there names ring any bells? Please!
Lisa Hawkins.
