Thanks for your continuing input. I also came across the second Thomas Banham Bodger. Mine was baptised in St Peters Wisbeach in 1813. His father was Joseph and his mother Jane Banham who were married 02 Apl 18.05. I'm a bit handicapped as the computer with all my family history on is sick, and so I do not have the information to hand on Jane Banham at the moment.
Thomas Banham Bodger first married Ann Lily Porter and after her death married Mary Porter - both were spinsters but Mary was 10 years the elder. Mary's father was John Porter, a farmer.
Were the Johnson Porter and Mary Porter on the 1841 census married or brother and sister? The age would be about right for her.
I will come back to you in due course.
Thanks again
Charley
