Boddington families
Looking for our past!
The tragedy of Robert & Martha BODDINGTONPaul Butcher has transcribed a hand written book from 1903 which records all the gravestones in the churchyard at West Haddon, Northampton. He came across this one which records the tragic story of two lost children by the name of Martha Boddington. The grave stone in West Haddon still exists but only one of the three in Rugby (see below) is still there. Click here for their records on the family tree .
