Thanks to all the folks who did a look up for me . If anyone feels like keeping on with the hunt . This info on the Sur name may help . I guess the census takers & transcripers , sometimes get tired hands , sleepy eyes. Other spellings of the name include: Boutwell, Botwell, Bathwell, Boswell, Buthwell and variants of each spelled with only one "L." The Geneology Research Office in Scottland is quoted as listing the following as possible transitional spellings of Bothwell during the period of French and Gaelic to English during the 15th to 17th centuries: Buthill, Buthell, Bedell, Biddell, Bodell, Bodwell, Bothuell, Boduell, Beddell, Bidwell, Bethell, Bithell, Buttell, Bodwall, Bodley, Buttle, and Butle. John Boodle has been listed as Brodle , Bardahl , But the three names the family goes by are Boodel , Boodell, Bodell , they are often found as Boodle , Bodle, Bodel . Thanks much Bill Keough
