I am researching the life of George Bodington, who was born in Calverton in 1799.

I believe that he was brought up in Calverton, although other sources claim him for Kenilworth, Warwicks.

Does anyone have any information about a landed family in the Calverton area named Bodington?

  Bodington family were from Warwickshire (Kenilworth, Cubbington and Stoneleigh) but George's father Joseph Bodington (1763-1837) seems to have farmed at Calverton for a few years.
  
  George Bodington, a Warwickshire man, after serving a surgical apprenticeship, studied at St Bartholomew's Hospital and obtained the licence of the Society of Apothecaries in 1825. He later practised near Sutton Coldfield where he was known as an acute observer and a thoughtful and fluent speaker. In 1840 he published an essay on the treatment and cure of pulmonary consumption in which he roundly condemned the current therapy and advocated instead fresh air in abundance, gentle exercise in the open, an adequate and varied diet, and a minimum of medicaments. Violently attacked by the reviewers he became discouraged about tuberculosis and devoted the remainder of his professional life to the care of the mentally ill.

Does anyone have a connection to the PURSELL family who were living in Paulerspury circa 1670's. It is possible that they moved on the Padbury. Any information would be most welcome.
