James CUST (1855-1901) and Rose Ann ALLEN CUST (1864-1929) were my great-grandparents. I've been tracing them back to when Henry CUST (1646-1716/17) and Margaret JONES CUST came from Yorkshire. I have some holes in that lineage and I've been trying to fill them in. I can get back to William Cust (1795-1868) and Rose LOGUE CUST (1796-1878). Can you help? Do you know who Hudson CUSTs parents were? I've come across a Hodgson CUST but I can't find where he fits either? Could he be your Hudson CUST? Any info you have would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Zziggy47
James CUST and his wife, Rose Ann ALLEN, are in the line known as the Canadian CUSTs. This information is in a published history about the CUST family which was recommended to me by a descendant of James and Rose.
Hudson CUST, as advised previously, is the name that my branch uses. It appears that he was also known as Hodson - this was found in the death notice for his daughter, Olivia, published in the Coleraine Chronicles. I also found another source associated with the REYNOLDS family that uses Hugeson. The CUST family history mentions Hodgson CUST in association with the Old Church of St Cadan (in Magilligan) and is also mentioned as being married to Elinor (sic) REYNOLDS. So, it is speculated that Hodgson (or Hugeson), Hodson and Hudson are the same person and that Hodgson became Hodson and then became Hudson which is still used as a first or middle name in one branch of his descendants. I was also recently given Elizabeth CUST’s birth date which allowed the estimation of Hudson’s own birth date. It was suggested to me that Hudson could either be a grandson or a great-grandson of Henry CUST and Margaret JONES. Unfortunately, there is no more information about Hudson at this time.
At a later time, I will send you a PM about the CUST family history.
