Hi Winky

Thomas Rudge was baptised 26.6.1808 son of John Rudge & Eleanor Marfell. Thomas Rudge married Abia Meek 13.5.1837 at Hope Mansell. I have the image of the 1851 Census and there is no Martha Meek just their children Harriett 15 & Joseph 13. On the 1861 Census there is a Martha Rudge aged 4 with Thomas & Abia, but there is no relationship shown for Martha and she is the only person on the entire sheet where a relationship is not shown. I have no information regarding a marriage for Joseph, but know that Harriett married 18.11.1856 to Edwin Roberts, however Harriett married as a spinster named Harriett MEEK, father Thomas Rudge. Harriett was born before the marriage between Thomas Rudge & Abia Meek.

I have not included Martha in my family tree even though Thomas Rudge is my 1st cousin 5 times removed as I cannot be certain as to her parents and would be very interested in the outcome of this posting.
