Origin of the surname

History

Generation 1

Ellis BODDY was baptised in 1797 in Scalby, Yorkshire (now part of Scarborough). She married Joseph COCKERILL in 1820 at Scalby and died in 1841 in Harwood-dale (a small village or hamlet north of Scalby) soon after the birth of my gg-grandmother, Annie.

My BODDY ancestors, traced mainly by a cousin can be traced back to Middleton, Thornton Dale, Lockton and possibly Pickering on the North Yorks Moors. The earliest date is 1605 (place unknown to me, but could be Pickering).

I am interested in all BODDY's in the area as the tree itself is starting to branch out rather a lot and there are small pockets of BODDY's in the Bridlington area who may belong, but I have insufficient evidence to connect them.
