Vlieland-Boddy

Several times blog readers ask us if the Vlieland-Boddy´s family belonged to the Vlieland´s as well .
Time to find out.
We find two brothers Clive Vlieland-Boddy and Martin Vlieland-Boddy on the internet and find the names of their children as well.
We contacted one of them years ago and he could tell us that the Vlieland part came from his mothers side of the family .
We found that the name Vlieland-Boddy is relatively new.
There was a name change as stated in the London Gazette

Clive and Martin are the sons of Edwina Amethyst White and Raymond Marshall Boddy they  married in 1951.

Edwina Harley was the first one to open an English pub in 1964 in Torremolinos  
She named it The Gallopping Major.
And it is still there .
