Thanks for that Potty. All of the records you guys have suggested, I have followed up on and, they all appear to feature the name Boaz. But the confirmation of Boaz Goodchild's death (i.e: the will mentioned above) is the parish record that I found, which confirms the date and place but clearly lists his name as Boetius. I am wondering how Boetius became Boaz? Late 17th Century...variation on spelling? His daughter, Faith Goodchild, went on to marry and have a son, which she also named Boaz. He, then, married and named his first born Boaz. It fascinates me. :-) |

Not sure about your Danish origins Darren, Boaz is from the Old Testament - he was the husband of Ruth |

the 'e' which looks like an 'r' is the same as the 'e' in wife just preceding the name |

I was about to suggest it looks like Bortius - maybe Boetius is the latin version of Boaz? |

Ditto no attachment on mine so think it may be the format. |

It has saved as a Tiff image on my memory stick... is that why it won't attack to PMs?? |
