The 1841 Census had only one Tudgay living in Bath web link to source, so it first seemed the family had left Bath for Lyncombe & Widcombe, Somerset (see 1881 Census below) after the birth of Charles but now (2007-8) my brother Martin was found the census entry (extract right) showing them as "Tudgee" or "Tudger"

1. William Tudgee, chr 08 Apr 1832, at Abbey of St Peter & St Paul, Bath. Martin found a death record for a William Tudgee in Bath in 1852. Prior to that it seemed possible that he was the William Tudgey who m Maria Clements, 1850, in St Peter's Church of England, Melbourne, Victoria - contact Peter Davis (prdavis@dingoblue.net.au) below.

2. Frederic Tudgee, chr 27 Jul 1835, at Abbey of St Peter & St Paul, Bath

There is no Frederick Tudgay in the 1881 Census but there is a record of a Frederick Tudgay, Private 1st Battalion 8th Foot (The King's) Monmouthshire Regt., on the medal roll for the Indian Mutiny 1857-1859 web link to source; another link has Pte Frederick Tudgay - killed 10 October 1857, 1st Bn 8th FOOT (King's Liverpool Regiment)

Hilary & Bob Tudgee emailed me on 27 June 2007 -
Dear Brian,
We have recently received your wonderful account and family history of the Tudgee's/Tudgdy/Tudgey/Tudgay's
My name is Robert Thomas Tudgee, younger son of Wilfred George Tudgee (b 21 Apr 1903 Died 23 Apr 1997 aged 94) I married Hilary Joy Malsom, We have two daughters:- Maria Louise Tudgee (b 11 July 1966) unmarried, Sarah Lynne Bell (b 18 Aug 1970) married with two sons.
My father, Wilfred George Tudgee married Gwendoline Edith Clark (b 19 Aug 1906) on 16 Jan 1932. She died in 1993 aged 87.
I distinctly remember my father talking about his uncle, Charles William Tudgee (b 02 Feb 1864) with fond memories. Uncle Charles always lived in Melksham.
We are extremely impressed with all the research you have carried out, we are also widely travelled and wherever we have been we have endeavoured to find past relatives.
If there is anything with which we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are at present living in Wells Somerset, having lived in many other areas of the country.
Our eldest daughter Maria and her sister Sarah live in Cheddar Som.
Regards
Hilary & Bob Tudgee

4. Albert Tudgee, age 57, born in Bath, living ??, Butcher & Journeyman (no other records than 1901 Census, but see BMD above)

Melbourne, Australia - too early for BMD

Origins not certain but we thought a strong candidate was William Tudgee, b 1832, the third son of Jeremiah Tudgee of Leigh on Mendip. However, 2010, we have an 1852 death record in Bath that appears to be this William. 

William Tudgey, m Maria Clements, 1850, in St Peter's Church of England, Melbourne, Victoria - contact Peter Davis (prdavis@dingoblue.net.au).

More information may be in "Early Families of Shepparton" Book 1 (source); in the Goulburn Valley, Victoria, Australia.
