I am trying to trace the family of my Grandfather-John Henry Puddephatt who was born in Chesham, Buckinghamshire. He had sisters Ruth, Annie and Edith. Annie's relatives I have found but would like to know what became of Edith who visited my grandfather before he died. She was living in Deal, Kent. and his half-brother Walter who lived in Virginia Water Surrey.
Regards
Margaret Moses

Edith was my grandmother.She was married to a Bushell who was killed in the 1st World War and was left as a widow with 5 children. She married my grandfather Alfred Bodman in 1921 and had a further 3 children. She was again widowed in 1936 and then had to bring up 8 children alone. One of her sons, George was killed in WW 2.She lived next to my father at 52 York Road Walmer and died on 20th Sept 1963.She was a lovely lady and I was very close to her.I have only just started to research her family as she never spoke about it and would be grateful for any information you have.
Regards,

Keith Bodman
