Ok, now I'm getting depressed. Correct me if I'm wrong here Merry, but the William Dodd whom we seek, he the father of Philip, was not then born in Tilston (unless he got married when he was 16 or 17) and could, therefore, have been just about any William Dod born between about 1730 and 1750. Just a quick search tells me there are no obvious ones close by to Malpas but several hundred farther out. Any ideas, because I have none.
