Years ago, an old man said to me, that when he was a lad, he lived in Peterborough. That at the start of the Great War, he used to spend a lot of time on the platforms at Peterborough Railway Station. That when the troop trains came down from Scotland, full of new recruits, they were all laughing and shouting, "You would think they were all going to a gigantic birthday party" were the words he used. Then he said " Three weeks later the hospital trains started coming up the line, and they were all crying." So they would have been taken to hospitals up the line, further north. My grandfather was a male nurse in a hospital at Brighton. He never said anything about it to me. But I have been to The Shastri, the Indian War Memorial on the Downs north of Patcham. This was the open air cremation place for Indian soldiers who died in Brighton Hospital. They were cremated there, and their ashes taken out sea for scattering, because that was their Faith and that was what they wanted. My thinking now is that they were deliberately taken to Brighton because of this, and the soldiers from Scottish Regiments were taken up to Scotland because their relatives were there. It was only in WW2 that men from English locations were admitted to Scottish Regiments, because the terrible loss of life in WW1 had a bad effect on Scottish towns and villages. When I was cycling up there I was amazed at the long lists of names on War Memorials in remote areas. So where the English wounded soldiers were taken I do not know. Maybe someone else does. But what annoyed me last year, on a visit to Blenheim Palace, was to see, on the second floor, a huge painting of a man. I was admiring how clever the artist was, to get the shine on his leather boots so effectively, and the Steward on duty said " Do you know who it is ? Its the Kaiser. " I was very angry to learn this. That a portrait of a man who caused so much suffering should hang in such a building is terrible. End of moan. Diane 10813.
He may have been injured, and removed to an English hospital. Many were, and sent back to the Front after they recovered from their injuries. Diane 10813
Hello Jennifer, Just before you despair is there any possibility at all that Grandfather might have had leave at the appropriate time? I don't know if those soldiers ever had the chance to come home, but someone out there might be able to throw you a lifeline if there are any records to check. Still, at least it is a problem with a grandfather, and not a father. I am acquainted with someone who is only 'half' who she thinks she is (- ie the mother's side). She either doesn't know, or chooses to ignore it. I suppose it all boils down to that old saying, it's a wise child that knows its own father! If anyone saw the last episode of Foyle's War on Sunday, this was part of the story line; one was left with the impression that whatever 'sins' had been committed, love for the mother made forgiveness possible and the cuckoo would be absorbed and loved as their own. That's more important in the end, I reckon, than accuracy in family history. Incidentally, I am inspired to visit old Hastings and enjoy some of the scenery as shown in the programme. Can anyone recommend a nice b&b in the area?

After 8 years of tracing my mother's ancestors and feeling quite pleased with myself at what I'd achieved I decided to see if I could find my grandfather's military service record and now I wish I hadn't because it's beginning to look as though 'Grandfather' was serving in France during WW1 at the time of my mother's conception but was the named father and the husband of my Grandmother Oh dear! oh dear! Dare I hope that somehow there's been a mistake. I haven't had much luck with grandfathers as I made the same discovery with my father's 'father'. who was apparently a POW 1914-18. But at least I hadn't traced his line back to the 17th century. I'm sure I'm not the first person to make such a discovery and would appreciate the views of other members with the same experience. I shall take consolation in the fact that my mother's sisters were grandfather's children at least. Jennifer
Hi Mark, Have you tried looking for any wills to see if any other information pops up? www.nationalarchives.gov have details of many wills and also files of the British in India. I also see an Alison Rasheed on Ancestry is researching the same family and had Bodle family going back to 1594 in Sussex. Debbie -----Original Message----- From: sfhg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sfhg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mark Milton Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 5:44 PM To: SFHG-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SFHG] William Bodle - b 1810 in West Firle or Alfriston? All, I need your help is trying to help break down a brick wall. Many years ago I became aware that there is an Alfriston in Auckland, New Zealand. I was able to ascertain that this part of Auckland was named by Dr George Edward Bodle after Alfriston, Sussex. However, George was born in Sydney, Australia in 1844 with no obvious links to Alfriston, Sussex. I was able to learn that George Edward Bodle was the son of George R Bodle and Anne Butler. They married in Sydney, Australia where George was serving in the army (80th Regiment of Foot). Descendants of George Edward Bodle have informed me that George Bodle was born in West Firle in 1812. They speculate that George's parents were William Bodle and Sarah Susan. William and Susan had 4 children that were christened in Alfriston - Mary (1801), Ann (1803), Jane (1805) and Anna (1806). All of these christenings are listed in the IGI. Additionally, William and Susan may have had three children born in West Firle - Susanna (1808), William (1810) and George (1812). These latter children are not listed in the IGI. After serving with the 80th Regiment of Foot in Australia (on convict duty) and New Zealand (a whaling dispute), George Bodle was posted to India where he gradually moved through the ranks, becoming Paymaster. By 1853, he was in Ireland serving in a Depot Batallion. By the time that he retired (about 1870) he had risen to the honorary rank of Major. His military service can be traced through the Hart's Army list. The 1866 edition describes his military service thus: Major Bodle served in the 80th Regiment throughout the Sutlej campaign of 1845-6, including the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah, and Sobroan (Medal and two Clasps). Also in the Burmese war of 1852, including the capture of Martaban, operations before Rangoon on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of April, and capture of the Great Dragon Pagoda (with the storming party), and capture of Prome (Medal with clasp for Pegu). Interestingly, a picture of George's India General Service Medal can be found on the internet (http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17372). George Bodle and Anne Butler had 4 children in Ireland. William Crawford Bodle (1853); Francis Joseph Bodle (1857); Robert Arthur Bodle (1856) and Mary Ann Grace Eliza Bodle (1862). Anne Bodle died in 1866. It has been reported that George was heartbroken and left Ireland, never to return. However, it is not known where he went to, although it is reported that he attended George Edward's wedding in London in 1870. However, he had a falling out with his children (they didn't agree with something that he had done). He hasn't been located in the 1871 census. In the 1872 Hart's Annual List it states that he took a commuted allowance in lieu of half pay. It is unknown when or where he died. Although George Bodle can't be found in the 1871 census, his three youngest children can be found in the 1871 census (as well as George Edward Bodle, his wife Eliza and their 3 month old daughter Annie). William Crawford Bodle has not been found in the 1871 census, although he may have been in India by that time. It is reported that he died in 1872 (drowned while taking a rope to a boat). Francis and Robert can be found in New Shoreham, Sussex, where they were attending the Protestant Grammar School (deceased mother being Catholic). Mary can be found in London (Tower Hamlets), living in the household of William and Priscilla Bodle. Unfortunately, Mary's relationship to William is not easy to read. Ancestry claims that it is daughter but that isn't correct. The reference for the census is Class: RG10; Piece: 575; Folio: 70; Page: 37. William Bodle had married Priscilla Brodrib and was working as an Exam Officer, HM Customs. He moved back to Alfriston, Sussex after Priscilla died in 1873. He remarried to a Catherine Willard in Dec Q 1874. William died in 1890 and Catherine died in 1894. His age fits with a William Bodle listed in the IGI as being christened in Alfriston, Sussex on 6 May, 1810 and being the son of Thomas Bodle and Hannah. All four of George Bodle's surviving children (George Edward; Francis; Robert and Mary) emigrated to New Zealand in the 1870s. That was a lot of background information, but it was necessary to set the scene for the questions that I need help with; 1) What was the relationship between William Bodle (m Priscilla) and Mary Bodle (daughter of William Bodle and Anne Butler)? 2) Who were the parents of William Bodle (b 1810 in West Firle) and George Bodle (b 1812 in West Firle)? 3) What happened to George Bodle after he left the army? Any help would be appreciated.

He remarried to a Catherine Willard in Dec Q 1874. William died in 1890 and Catherine died in 1894. His age fits with a William Bodle listed in the IGI as being christened in Alfriston, Sussex on 6 May, 1810 and being the son of Thomas Bodle and Hannah. All four of George Bodle's surviving children (George Edward; Francis; Robert and Mary) emigrated to New Zealand in the 1870s. That was a lot of background information, but it was necessary to set the scene for the questions that I need help with; 1) What was the relationship between William Bodle (m Priscilla) and Mary Bodle (daughter of William Bodle and Anne Butler)? 2) Who were the parents of William Bodle (b 1810 in West Firle) and George Bodle (b 1812 in West Firle)? 3) What happened to George Bodle after he left the army? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Mark Milton (9750)
Hello Diane, It appears that the original Hove Station was near Holland Road, moving later to the site of what was Cliftonville Station (further West). I have found the site on Oldmaps on the 1880 map. The coal yard may have been between the station and the sawmill.
