Thanks Charles,
This is so interesting.I had a hunch that Augustus was possibly the son of one of the sisters of Myrtilla Bodman and that Apphia was his cousin.All will be revealed when I receive your information.
I'll e-mail you shortly.

Keith

Dear Sheila and Keith

There ARE connections that link us all together. Email me and I will send you all the documentation (Charles.BodmanRae@adelaide.edu.au). Augustus was born in Monckton Farleigh in 1813. He was married in Chippenham in 1837. There is an interesting and intriguing story about his childhood which a cousin of ours has investigated. He was NOT illegitimate, but was baptised at Monckton Farleigh as Augustus WESTON, legitimate son of John Weston and Mary Bodman. Something tragic must have happened to both parents when he was a baby, because he was brought up as a Bodman - presumably adopted by his Bodman grandmother. The Bodman-Bear (not Beer) connection is clear. A Bodman wife bore 17 - Yes 17 - 'baby bears' at Derry Hill.

Oops - found them. For Matilda I've got Myrtilla and I did not have Augustas in my files but now find where he fits

SheilaBeer — 2011-05-30 20:01:56Z

Hi Keith

I remember being in contact but Augustas Bodman is not related, as far as I have investigated, to any of the Bodman's in my family tree. Neither do I have an Apphia Witts or a Matilda Bodman.

You don't say when/where Augustas was born, or married.

Dear Keith
How great to hear from you. I have lots of information I can send you. A couple of years ago I compiled a 100-page booklet with all the details of our family and its various branches. I would be happy to send you a copy, either electronically or by letter mail (or both). Please email me on : Charles.BodmanRae@adelaide.edu.au

Re: Bodman - Eng.

bodmanfamily — 2011-05-30 09:39:20Z

Hi Charles,
We were in contact many years ago and share the same great great grandfather Augustus Bodman.Do you have any information concerning his parents as there is no mention of his father on his marriage certificate. I noticed that the witness on that certificate, Apphia Witts is the daughter of Matilda Bodman so there is probably a connection there somewhere.Any information you have would be very helpful.
Regards, Keith Bodman

Sorry, I got some names mixed up. What I meant to say was: Elizabeth was a daughter of John Bodman (not Daniel, his elder brother) and Hannah (Batt). They were both uncles of my great-great-grandfather, Augustus Bodman.
Charles

Re: Bodman - Eng.

CharlesBodmanRae — 2011-01-10 02:40:48Z

Dear Sheila

Elizabeth's father, Daniel Bodman, was an uncle of my great-great-grandfather, Augustus Bodman. They all lived at Derry Hill (Pewsham). There is a grave (and headstone) for Daniel and Hannah (Batt) in the churchyard of Christ Church, Derry Hill. There is also a grave and headstone for Augustus Bodman and his wife Jane (Bezant). I have a great deal of family information that I would be happy to share if the families are connected. You can Google me (as Charles Bodman Rae) for a profile and contact details, including email.

FOUND: Smith/Platt Family Bible from Michigan

caseylee2005 — 2004-07-03 21:57:15Z

My grandmother found this Bible in a trunk, but I believe the owner had no children, so I'm looking for other relatives. The Bible belonged to a Miss Abbie N. Smith, given to her by her grandmother, Abigail Platt. I want to find the descendants of the bible's owner and return the bible to the family.

These are some of the names that are written inside of the bible. If they sound like they could be your family, email me with your family history that would include them and how they are related to you (include as many dates and locations as you know). There are dates in the bible and I will check your information against mine. Thank you.

BODMAN & ROWBOTHAM

The marriage took place at the St Saviour Church in the Parish of Saltley in the county of Warwick on May 23, 1897. I was given this copy by an aunt who said they were related in some way. Does anyone have information on either of these individuals they would be willing to share.

My grandfather, Henry David Bodman was born Sept 2nd 1854 in Freshford, Somerset, England and my grandmother, Annie Bodman was born on January 13th 1868 at Potterne, nr Devizes in Wiltshire, England. They were married at Keevil church in Wiltshire on November 28th 1896. They moved to Birmingham, England after marriage. This was my grandfathers second marriage and as far as I recall, the first marriage gave 13 children and the second 6 children. Grandfather died on January 29th 1934 aged 79 yrs and grandmother died March 13th 1946 aged 78 yrs. It will take me a while to search the family bible for all relevant details but if I can be of any assistance to you, please e-mail me. I am also searching for any living relatives in the USA
