Just discovered that the 24th were in Gibraltar 1764-1769. (He was born 1767) Was it Spanish or British then?

Britain!
Treaty of Utrecht 11 April 1713 and no, I didn't remember that from school!

Bother! And the Parish records for Foleshill have a useful gap 1753 - 1780, just in case he was lying!

Are there no Bishops Transcripts for those years?

I've just checked again on my CovFHS transcription CD. They have a Thomas Dudley baptised 30/10/1760 to Thomas and Mary (Carpenter or Carpender). The marriage of Thos and Mary was 31/10/1757.
But if he was baptised 1760 he would have been 90+ in 1851 which seems good going. If the Spain thing is true he may be a completely different Thomas!. His death cert shows 86 at time of death in 1852. |

I see a couple of people have him as the son of Thomas and Mary (nee Carpenter) on Ancestry, with all the other children b in Folehill or no birthplace.
Your Thomas would be the youngest if he was their son, which makes the likelyhood of him being born in Spain AND being their child seem even more unlikely. I think he belongs to someone else! lol (that's helpful!!)

Oh, just noticed the dates in your last post. The Ancestry tree had an awful lot of children in that gap between the marriage and Thomas' birth!

One of the children was Elizabeth b 1765. She married Abraham Jephcott of Foleshill in 1785 at St Lawrence, Foleshill. The witnesses were Elizth and Wm Carpenter and John Hutchison - ties in with mother`s relations. Also Elizth Jephcott later witnessed the marriage of John Dudley to Sushannah Burton in 1807.
That John is Thomas Dudley's (who dies 1852) son who you found before. The more I think about it the more sure I am that the Spain thing is a red herring. |
