William Bodley, carpenter, of Lympstone Devon England-
My 3xgreat grandfather was GEORGE Bodley one of three children born to WILLIAM(carpenter) and wife SARAH nee Richards. The others were 2 daughters HARRIET who died young and ELIZABETH who was spinster and lived in Exeter.She died late 1870s.
George married twice- firstly to Jane Bayes with whom he had children and then Annie Robinson Bower nee Sadler.
There is a William Bodley who married Sarah (as above)at Lympstone and within 9 years a William Bodley (carpenter) marries Ann Lidstone at Lympstone and has children including JOHN NOEL, CHARLES, MARY ANN and MARTHA.
It is my contention that the William is in fact the same man as the age,occupation etc is the same. However I have not been able to find a death for Sarah and am currently working on that one.
Is there anyone out there who can help or has informationwhich can absolutely tie the two marriages to the one man??
Cheers Vicki
