Notes for Charles BODDINGTON

Charles Boddington & family, Frederick Balmer, his brothers George and Philip, all emigrated from Northampton to Toronto in about 1871 or 1872. [6]

Charles stands at the head of the family that accounts for almost every Boddington in the USA and Canada! I (the webmaster) know of only three other Boddington families in north America who are not descended from Charles. [269]
