Henry Boddington JP (1849-1925)

[George Shaw]

Thanks for that. To be honest, I've been trawling that site for days but I am encountering some discrepancies. For example, there is a reference to Henry Boddington having to sell Pownall Hall due to financial difficulties in the 1890's but in 1901 Marianne Gladys Boddington (aged 16) was recorded as being at the Hall.

Marianne 16 is down as niece in 1901.  Head of the household is Rowland A Butterworth 36 estate agent.  Address is something Gates - Gossey?

The Hall itself is next entry down with Joseph D Lees 39 as the head with wife Edith 32.

According to the Boddington site.....

A history of Pownall School says Henry Boddington's son Henry inherited the hall in 1925 and shows a picture with stone engravings with Henry senior 1886, when he bought the hall, and Henry junior 1825

Cheers, although I've already had sight of it.

Also, a note that Tim Boddington, webmaster at http://www.boddington-family.org.uk is a very helpful chap for those researching this family.

I wonder if Robert Slater Boddington - Brewer - was related to Henry ?...

Henry did have a brother William Slater Boddington

The mother of Robert and Henry was Martha Slater.
