I don't know if you had looked at the Army Overseas Birth Indexes which are supposed to have records as early as 1761? I just looked, but there was nothing anywhere near that early for any Dudley!

Maybe it is, but what about him losing all those years? His 1841/1851 and death entries all match for age. Have you looked for possible deaths for the 1760 Thomas in case he died and Mary Carpenter had another son?

Maybe you could try contacting the person with the Ancestry tree to see what they think?

I've just done that Merry. The Sidwell connection is through one of John's eldest daughter Sarah. I have a feeling we've been in touch before.

Thanks for the ideas Merry. I promise I'll not inflict Thomas Dudley on you again for a while!

Actually ....
I've just found the burial of a widow Elizabeth Dudley, buried 13 September 1812. She is probably Elizabeth Chew who married Thomas Dudley 17/10/1796. The only Thomas burial I can find that seems to fit is 18/3/1804. Trouble is .... I don't know who that Thomas was! So he might be the 1760 chap which would mean that I'm not connected to the Carpenters at all! |

Have you tried looking for any Dudley wills that might mention any of these people, Mark?
