Did you have any luck with rev William Hudson?  His daughter Mary b 17/3/1754 is my ancestor.
His wife Elizabeth was born 1725 and died 23/7/1771 (family search IGI index)
I have information on Mary, my ancestor and another daughter Martha b.10/6/1756.

Hello! Hope your day goes well there. I have just returned here after a period of absence due to poor health - am good now. What I want to ask, is does anyone have any document that is an official record of Elizabeth CROPP's birth and death? I note that in the above "quote" it mentions Elizabeth's daughter Mary is BARNSLEY'S ancestor. Also, does anyone have any evidence of Elizabeth's origin - her parents - siblings - home address/location, etc?
Looking forward to your reply, and establishing who Elizabeth CROPP really was.
Kind regards, Mark

Hello Nell,
Thank you for the updated link info.
I don't get online every day, nor as much as I would like to be able to do so, hence the delay in posting back here to let you know the result of your reply.
I have found some interesting details about Elizabeth CROPP.
It appears there may have been more than one person of the same family lineage had the same name.
The Elizabeth CROPP I am searching died in 1771, the same year as her husband Rev. William HUDSON expired.
There's been a "hand-me-down" family story that says Elizabeth CROPP is the daughter or more likely (by years) grand-daughter of a woman who was mistress of King GEORGE I.
One of my mother's 'uncles' HOLMESBY went to the UK and researched our family genealogy for what became his writings of the book "THE FIRST OF THE MANY". Basically it's about Thomas Hudson BEARE - yes, there's the name HUDSON popping up. His father was Thomas BEARE who married Martha, daughter of Elizabeth & Rev.William HUDSON - it was Thomas Hudson BEARE who arrived on the vessel "Duke Of York" at Kangaroo Island in 1836, and went on to open the South Australian state at Adelaide - his youngest daughter is claimed to be the first white settler to put foot on the soil of South Australia.
Sorry, i've digressed a little...
As you can see, it is the history of the CROPP family that I am most interested in.
When HOLMESBY inquired of the connection of CROPP and King GEORGE I, he was brushed off by the royals...
No one wants this connection to be known, despite the history of some 8 generations, or perhaps 9, that would link the two names of CROPP & GEORGE I.
If you should come across anything at all that could be a piece of this 'puzzle', please do let me know.
In appreciation of the great work you do there helping with family enquiries from around the world, thank you so much.

Hello Dee-Jay,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!

I will include this information that you have posted, to my file on Rev.William HUDSON.

Possibly I should have opened a new message post, since I am particularly interested in his wife's family who are purportedly immigrants from Bavaria (Ger.).

Are you able to access any information about Elizabeth CROPP, her family and her ancestors?

Thank you in anticipation.

Mark Ridgway
