Boadles of Whitehaven

Boadles of Whitehaven

I would be delighted to hear from anyone who has data on the Boadles of Whitehaven, Cumbria, England, particularly relating to my great-great-great-grandfather, John Boadle, a shipowner who died there in 1824. He lived in Plumblands Lane and married Elizabeth Barnes. They had 7 children: Ann Boadle (b. Feb 03, 1794), William Barnes Boadle (b. Aug 08, 1795, d. Mar 12, 1865 ), James Boadle (b. Oct 25, 1797), Jane Boadle (b. Dec 31, 1799), Elizabeth Boadle (b. Aug 09, 1802), John Boadle (b. Oct 26, 1804) and Robert Boadle(b. Dec 05, 1810).

Surnames: Boadle/Bodle
Anthony,

Is your John Boadle (d. 1824) one of the Boadle brothers shipbuilders of Whitehaven? My father left me some papers detailing research he & others had done on our Boadle family tree but they didn't have the names of the Boadle brothers & couldn't work out the relationship with our family tree.

You probably already know that the Bodles were mentioned in Caesar Caine's book on Cleator Moor as living in Wath. He mentions a tombstone of John Bodle who died in 1702 aged 77 years. Was married to Agnes with children William, John, Joseph, Janet. Caesar Caine says that he thinks John Bodle senior's father was called Christopher. The names John & Joseph certainly appear very frequently in my family tree.

I'd certainly be interested in knowing how your branch ties in with mine.

Hi Julie, great to hear from you. The sons of John Boadle (d 1824) where ship masters and shipowners. There names were William Barnes Boadle, who later to moved to Liverpool and lived in Liscard in Chesire. His brothers James and John Boadle were also mariners and owned ships or parts of ships. Hopes this matches some of your information, best regards, Anthony

Julie, as for John Boadle (d 1702), I have the following information, largely built from the family tree sent to me from Australia by the Rodway Eustace Boadle two years before his death.
I have not been able to link my Boadles to this trunk. Maybe you can help! Bye, Anthony

Anthony, I've had a look at the information I got from my father - it came from a John and Mary Boadle in Wolverhampton in the early 1980s. They seem to have been in contact with Rodway Eustace so I think we have a lot of the same information. From the tree that they collated I can see where the Australian branches come from but there's no mention of a John Boadle d.1824 although there is a handwritten list that seems to list Bodle/Boadle christenings at the meeting house Whitehaven (dissenters). This mentions:

Mary bapt.1765 daughter of James and Jane Bodle sailor Plumblands Lane

Jane bapt. 1769 daughter of James and Jane Bodle Plumblands Lane

Elizabeth bapt. 1773 daughter of James and Jane Boadle Plumblands Lane

There are no sons of this marriage listed but there is

Benjamin bapt. 1719 son of Joseph Bodle Mason
Joseph bapt. son of William and Elizabeth Bodle
Benjamin bapt. son of Benjamin and Mary Bodle Scotch Street
William bapt. 1828 son of John and Elizabeth Boadle Croft Pit

I don't if any of these are from your line but the Plumblands Lane connection is interesting.

Julie

Anthony, I think you probably have all this but I've also found handwritten notes from the Cumberland paquet:

1776 Captain James Boadle now Master of the Mary - of Plumblands Lane

1787 John Boadle Master of the Mary and Betty died

1792 Captain John Boadle of Whitehaven Master of Mary and Betty married in Cork to Miss Barnes of Waterford

1824 Death of John Boadle of Plumblands Lane Member of the Society of friends

1831 Marriage at Friends Meeting House of Elizabeth Boadle to John Green of Belfast. Daughter of the late Captian John Boadle of the Scipio

Also within these notes:

Whitehaven St Nicholas Parish register James Boadle of Plumblands Lane buried

Will at Preston R/O - John Boadle Master Mariner died 9/3/1824. Twp Quakers affirmed genuineness of draft will
1) Jonathan Dixon Master mariner
2) James Nicholson
Effects divided by wife Elizabeth and daughter Jane

From Quaker Register of Carlisle R/O -

birth 31/12/1799 Jane Boadle daughter of John & Elizabeth of Whitehaven (mariner) Meeting Pardshaw

birth 21/6/1834 Elizabeth Oceana Boadle daughter of William barnes Boadle & Mary Master Mariner of Whitehaven. Born on board Helvellyn (a Boadle Bros vessel) in the Indian Ocean Lat 00.20 N Long 67 E

The John & Mary Boadle that my father was in contact with wrote that they had been unable to connect the Quaker sea-faring Boadles with the farming Boadles that had been traced back to Christopher Boadle in Cleator and also that they had a lot of names (presumably Bodle/Boadles) that they were unable to tie in.

Do you have a copy of the book "From Cumberland to Cape Horn"? Apparently this mentions the Boadle Brothers shipbuilders but I don't know how much information there is.

Sorry I can't be more help but I'll keep digging.

Julie

Surnames: Boadle
Hi There Anthony,
My mother's maiden name was Doris Isabel Boadle - her father being Isaac Boadle, son of John Boadle. My first cousin Brian Boadle has done all the Boadle family tree here in Australia, and I am sure he would be delighted to fill in any gaps you may have. It is just such an uncommon name. His email address is brianb@aanet.com.au.

Kind regards.
Marion

Surnames: Uron, Bodle
would anyone connect with me regarding information to what I copied here as an email discussion between a relative and myself below -

- a relative sent me the following information related to a uron-Bodle marriage and "family were in the shipbuilding trade".-

It is possible that my grandmother assumed that her father's line was Swedish but that the missing Swede did not come through the Uron name but some other branch. She was a dear woman but got things confused on occasion. Her father, George Justice Uron, was the last riverboat captain on the Delware River. He piloted the ferry that went between Philadephia and Camden. Several previous generations of the family were in the shipbuilding trade. Was that a chosen profession for the Viking types in the area? More likely, the shipyards of Philly attracted a lot immigrant labor.

I just did some research on our Leonard Uron. He married Magaret Bodle, and there are nine children listed. However, this list gives two named "John," two named "James," and another two named "George." We might assume that these are duplicate listings (or possibly children that died and the next child born was given the same name, however unlikely). Or we might that other Ancestry users have different dates for these children. Anyway, we have five different names for this Leonard's children: John, James, George, May, and Effie.


please connect with me regarding this -
