Information (email from Jenny and Val)

I (Jenny) think your web-site is brilliant.

We have been trying for over a year to find any connection to William Tudgay.

Having read your page about a John Tudgay fathering a Bastard Child in 1778, it could well be why we've never struck lucky before. Geoff (my husband) and myself went to the FRC at Taunton last year to look for him. But no luck. We did however find his marriage entry to Sarah George, and on it, it said William Tudgay from Whatley, so he was clearly not living in Leigh-on-Mendip before he was married. We also found his death entry, that was in the village of Coleford. I have copies of these two entries and if you would like, I will e.mail them to you.

I also know quite a lot about William's son John Tudgay, the coachman who went to St. Germans in Cornwall to live. He became coachman to the Earl of St. Germans, I have a pic of his grave, also of the old coachouses where he used to work.

One of John's children, William, went to Romford as a coachman, there he married an Annie Pritchett, this William was my Gt Grandfather. They later on moved to London, the Paddington area, where Val's and my Grandfather was born. He was Joseph Leonnard Tudgay, married Alice Maud Stancombe. They had six children, two of whom are my mother and Val's. Anyway I could ramble on about the Tudgay's all day, and you're probably confused by now!!! If you would like some of the pics and certs that I have I would be pleased to forward them on to you. I do have a lovely old pic of a Tudgay wedding, all the Tudgay's we've "inherited" since starting all this, have got a copy, and it's well worth having a look at. It's taken in London in the spring of 1907. Look forward to hearing from you. From what we've seen I think you must be another cousin of ours somewhere along the line!!!
