Father-- Thomas Holmes, Mother--Jeanette Hunnisette or Hunnisetti (French),
Brother--Jack?.
Father retired Officer Royal Navy,
Came to Australia possibly 1914-1920,
Married my Father David Edward Ruxton at Albury NSW.
Sadly she died 1962 at Bendigo Victoria,
May possibly have been adopted by Thomas Holmes (my thoughts). The only Thomas Holmes to fall into that time (RN. list) lived at times in Brooke Hall and Morningthorpe Manor of Brooke and Morningthorpe. He was I believe in charge of the the RNLI. During this period he also would have lived on the western side of England.
I am currently researching the Bodice family of Staffordshire, England. What I have found is that the spelling varies. I have found Bodice, Boddice, Boddis & many more variations. I believe that Ann Bodice born approx. 1800-1815 & lived in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England is my g, g, g, g, great grandmother. My g, g, g, great grandfather Thomas Lloyd seems to be her son. I am trying to confirm this through further research. There wasn't a marriage between Benjamin Lloyd & Ann Bodice. But there was a pregnancy. If you have any information regarding Ann Bodice or her family I would love to hear from you. My name is Becky Poppleton @ sunkistphoto@yahoo.com Thank You

The Boddis name has created a lot of confusion over the years with my research into my family name.
The one thing that I'm certain of is that regarding the spelling I have managed to connect the names, therefore they are related..
I have gone back as far as 1740 in Staffordshire to James Bodis
my ancestor was John Boddis from Norton Canes Staffordshire,I found that my ancestor James Bodis Boddis born 1788 Wolverhampton married Elizabeth Priest HIS grandchildren from the Walsall area in Staffs for some reason spelt their name Boddice. My side of the family for reason only known to them continued with the spelling of BODDIS.
You have to remember that at this time a lot of people could not spell, so that the person taking any detail down such as in the BMD's for Parish Registers spelt the name as they saw fit. I will check my family tree and see if I can find a connection to Ann Boddice
Thank you so much in your efforts to help me. There is an Ann Boddice or an Ann Boddes born in 1813. The christening says it was done in Wolverhampton, Stafford, England. There is an Ann Boddice born in 1811. She was born in Newhall, Derbyshire, England. There is also an Anne Bodice born in 1802. She was born in Sandhurst, Kent, England. Sounds like your Ann Boddis is born in 1796... in Bilston, England. The problem we are running into is proving that either or none are our grandmother. All we know is that our grandmother was either a neighbor girl or a nanny to Benjamin Lloyd & Mary Ellidge. We believe that my grandmother (Ann Bodice) was the birth mother to Thomas Lloyd my grandfather...with Benjamin Lloyd being his father.
Please answer me this. Are there any other name variations to Boddis that you know of??? I have so far found about 30 name variations.
my mother in law is trying to trace her biological father with no luck upto yet,
these are the details i am aware of, he was briefly married to a lady called bettie roper and had a daughter with her called tessie and she was a couple of months old when they parted. tessie was born in staffordshire before moving to nottinghamshire
hopefully someone can help with some details.
i found the details below on a birth records site and hopefully are correct but may be a coincidence.
