To show how my
brother Martin and to a lesser extent, I uncovered the forebears of
William Tudgee, I have created a separate narrative page
Finding
William Tudgee. Last year, 2016, Martin examined various Parish
Registers, allowed us to get an even better idea of our lineage.
The Map of the Tudgee/Tudgey/Tudgay Country in Somerset/Wiltshire will help but it can be added that the parish of Marston Bigot had curious detatched portions, notably the Spring Gardens area set on the north west edge of Frome.

Note the following now (March
2012) seems irrelevant as Martin has tracked down a much more
likely Sarah George, born in Great Elm, Somerset, in 1779.
Sarah George was the
daughter of Thomas George (dates unknown)
and Bridget Gethyn. Sarah had a brother, Thomas Marmaduke George b ca 1771, and sisters Mary Ann b ca 1772, Bridget b ca 1773 and Harriotte b ca 1779. |

Note - a William Tudgay m Sarah Hooper, 24 Jun 1819, at St John's Frome (web link to source) but this seems a different William; see Frome families. |
