Shropshire / William JONES
« on: Saturday 09 August 08 22:08 BST (UK)  »
On the 1851 my g.g.grandfather, William JONES, said he was born at Blackwood, Shropshire.   Does anyone know where this is and which parish records I would look at to try to trace him back?

Many thanks,

Diana

Northamptonshire / Looking for Thomas Bodsworth & family
« on: Saturday 09 August 08 20:53 BST (UK)  »
I have a Thomas Bodsworth in my tree, the son of Richard Bodsworth (born Woburn, Beds) & Ann Brice (born Horton, Northants).  Thomas was baptised at Horton 6th October 1816. He married Sarah Hakes at Piddington, Northants on 9th March 1839 and they had a son, James Bodsworth, baptised at Piddington 4th August 1839.   I can't find Thomas & Sarah together in 1841 or son James, and in 1851 Sarah is living with her widowed mother and a 5 year old son called George Old Bodsworth.

I've been told Thomas Bodsworth went to Australia and married again there bigamously but the dates don't tie up.   The information I have for Thomas Bodsworth in Australia is that he was born in Bedford in 1823 and died in 1866 age 69.   Obviously this information is contradictory and it doesn't tie in at all with a baptism in 1816.

Any information regarding what happened to Thomas, Sarah, James & George very gratefully received.
