BODDINGTONs of Turvey in the 17th Century

[TicknerV]

Well the Will of George BODINGTON the Elder, Yeoman of Turvey, actually made in 1687 fits in terms of children and properties, although George appears to have had a second wife, Mary, by this time, rather than the Susannah/Susanna/Susann/Susan that he appears to have had earlier over the 1632 to 1641 period at least. Presumably Turvey Parochial Registers offer the answer to some of these things.

Mary Boddington, widow was buried Turvey on 5 Apr 1693
Beds Archives has a will for Mary Boddinton of Turvey ref ABP/W 1693/93

George Boddington, junior was buried Turvey 13 Dec 1682 - perhaps he's the one that married Susan/nah & baptised children 1632 to 1641

These George Bs are a puzzle! George the Elder, who died in 1691/92 still had his son, George, alive in 1687, and given as being of Newton Blossomville, Bucks, so it cannot be his son who died in 1682. Walter B, yeoman of Turvey, who died in 1621, had a son, George, who was given, as being of Skevington, Beds, and who was alive in 1620. How all these Georges fit together is still a puzzle, and I suspect there are more of them than meets the immediate eye. I have seen the Will of Mary B., and she appears to have been the widow of George the Elder.
