Thomas Dudley - Spain
New start ad all I thought I'd throw this one in again ...
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?...c=&pid=9364520 Thomas Dudley is shown as b Spain British Subject in 1851. That makes him born abt 1767. Can anybody come up with a way to find out where/why/how he might have been born in Spain? 1841 shows him born in Warwickshire. He died 1852. |

I would have thought the most likely reason for him being born in Spain would be that his father served in the army and was posted there - wives often went too.
Is this person his son/cousin/younger brother? (TNA, The Catalogue) WO 121/110/180 JOHN DUDLEY Born FOLESHILL, Warwickshire Served in 24th Foot Regiment Discharged aged 18 after 4 years 5 months of service Covering dates give year of enlistment to year of discharge. 1806-1810 I just wondered if members of the same family might have served in the same regiment. Probably a long shot!

Mark, I remember in 1851 THomas was grandfather to the head. Was he therefore the last person in the household listed? Have you checked the head of the next household wasn't born in Spain, by looking for him/her on the next census? I have a family where the head's place of birth has been missed and all the following places of birth are one space up the sheet from where they should be! Bit of a long shot for you, I must admit!
OC inadvertently reminded my of this when she said (in 'Spare a thought for' on this board) her Mary Jepson was recorded as a tailor, but it was crossed through (because the person listed after Mary was the one with this occ!)
