| Sawley and Bishop Thornton | 1770-1840s | Patricia (Boddy) Tharp Patricia (Boddy) Tharp tharpkd@aol.com Seeking parentage of Elizabeth Dawson who was born c. 1772. From the MB&A, I know that in 1794 Elizabeth was living at Sawley Hall where she was probably employed. She married John Boddy, miller, of nearby Raventofts Mill and Farm in Bishop Thornton and they had several children; the last three were baptized at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic chapel at Bishop Thornton after it was built in 1809. Another Dawson baptism at St. Joseph's was John Dawson, baptized in 1814, the son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Gerard) Dawson. Was Thomas Dawson a brother of Elizabeth (Dawson) Boddy? Could this be the same John Dawson who lived in Bevereley in 1857? |

John left England in 1857, eventually settled in Iowa. I would really like to find William's and Mary/Clara's parent's information, if any. And also if anyone knows how John came to the U.S., that would be most helpful. | |

| DESORMEAUX | Knaresborough | any | Rhoda Hall alanv.hall@ntlworld.com I have found a reference of a wedding entry of Emma Desormeaux during the Dec Qtr of 1848 somewhere in the Knaresborough sub-registration area. To whom at this point I do not know and would like to have any information which may be available of her descendents.or her married name,occupation etc. Emma's parents were a Thomas and Charlotte Clara Desormeaux and she would have been baptised on the 2.8.1826 at St. George- in -the-East, London. As far as I am aware the Desormeaux did not have any connections with the West Riding area prior to this date and so it would be interesting to expand my knowledge of this particular family branch.

Her name was Mary but I don't know her maiden name. she was born in 1769, and it is likely that Andrew was born in 1768. Their childrens baptisms are on the parish register, their first child was Ann Downey1794, so perhaps they were married in approx 1793. Six children in all and Anne deid aged 45 in 8 jan 1815. We don't know what happened to Andrew, as a soldier perhaps he did not return home. Any information or ideas to further our information would be gladly recieved. |
