Josephine , thank you so much. I have seen the will of Joseph Bodman, but there was no mention of Ann in it, that I recall. I shall look at it in more detail. Could you remind me of the meaning of (F) after a name? Two other names that crop up are Selman and Sainsbury. Ann Palmer was witness to the Lacock marriage of George Selman and Jane Butcher. Thomas Palmer's wife was friendly with Mrs Sainsbury (the grocers), since their shops were only yards apart in Drury Lane. There are other Sainsburys sprinkled about Langley Burrell as well as Frome. Family history research is rather like a drug, isn't it? Thanks again.

Morning David Im a direct Descendant of the Bodmans of Calne/Devizes. I have just noticed your recent correspondence regarding the Bodmans and wonder whether I can help/exchange info on the Family. As I have only just noticed your interest I would be grateful of some info regarding your area of research.
