Notes for Harry BODDINGTON Recorded as Harry but that is possibly short for Henry. Birthplace and Baptism place recorded as Shelton, Shropshire. His marriage was at Wolstanton, Staffordshire. By strange coincidence Wolstanton is just a stone's throw from Shelton in Staffordshire, both places being part of Stoke on Trent. His wife died at Newcastle-under-Lyme which is immediately adjacent to Stoke on Trent, so presumeably he lived his married life in that district. As a carrier by water he would have had the Trent & Mersey canal on his doorstep.
