Note that there is a biography entry for a John Bodger but it does not give second name initial, there are 2 John Bodgers on the database and they are not likely to be the same person as one was collecting circa 1860 [the other one] and this one's dates are later and more in line with biography. Both were missionaries [AP 14/2/2003]
