Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: Help with Andrew Boddon of Carsphairn

Hi Tom Matt and welcome Penny.
Great to have the thread alive again. I also have not been on site for a while but have progressed a bit with tying up my line, and can hopefully add a bit more detail to some of his siblings but have not identified much in the way of professions etc other than scant details on census etc.
Will post what details I have and maybe gain a bit more for my records.

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.

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.

Jane .

Hello Tom.

Yes I did notice your ancestor was Jane Boddon.
By coincidence my GG Grandmother was also Jane Boddon (nee Price )
I was Jane Boddon by birth but now King.
Must keep in touch as more details come to ligt

Thanks and regards
Jane.

Hi Matt .

The information you have has been most helpful Thanks.
I am now tying in your info with details I had managed to uncover , and the mist is lifting slightly !
Any other information you have that is relevant to the Boddons would be most helpful .
What is your line of connection to the Boddons. ?? ... mine is direct  through the male line .
Regards
Jane

Hello Tom & Matt .

What a couple of stars you are ... Iv.e spent weeks on and off trying to find any tangiable links back from my G G Grandfather Robert Boddon.
He married in Lancashire in 1865 and died there in 1878 . Only4 of his 6 children appear to have survived ... my Grandfather William , son John , and 2 daughters Margaret & Marion (currently unable to trace but still trying ) .. family rumour is that one daughter became a prominent doctor back in Scotland ,but cannot trace or prove  ... so fact or fantasy ??    I have no idea .

Am waiting on Roberts birth certificate but it seems almost certain he is the one you have identified ...
Had previously found traces of 2 other Roberts one born 1839 and other born 1845 ... neither fitted but feel we have right one now .
I have found birth records of Robert and 2 marions on Scotlandspeople and parents are clearly shown as Andrew Boddon and Margaret MacMillan spouses .

I have always wondered where the McMillan came from , and both my father , and my Grandfathers brother were named Andrew , so this link would make a lot of sense.

I have also had same problem with names/spelling  etc .. but where have they all gone ??
By 1911 the only Boddons I can find on the census are my lot .

Thanks again for info and help

Jane

Hello.
I cannot comment on status of Andrew Boddon , but am hoping you may be able to help me.

I am trying to find some Boddons but not having much luck .
 
I have one William Boddon ( my Greatgrandfather )son of a ROBERTBODDON Born Scotland 1841 (Wigtownshire or Kirkbrideshire  per 1861/1871 census )

I have found a birth record for a Robert Boddon 24/09/1840 born to Andrew Boddon / Margaret Macmillan of Carsphairn and also 2 more records for daughters 28/12/1842 and 30/08/1844 ... both are listed as named Marion

I cannot find Andrew on 1841 census , but you obviously have .. All I can find on 1841 is a Robert aged 2 listed with a James and Mary Boddon both aged 65 ( old enough to be Grandparents ) .. but if correct where were parents ?

I am fairly certain this is correct thread , and if so would make sense of a few odities , also explaining why my Grandfather decided to give all his sons MacMillan as a second name .

Sorry to ramble on , but any help you can give will be very much appreciated.
