Thank you so much, that is great.

Well, I'm trying hard to attach a photo of my dad. No success yet. Still trying

I've posted a query re attaching photos on the FAQ section of the Beginners bit. So, I'm hoping to learn what I'm doing wrong.

Meanwhile, re the TUDGEYs I've just come across these websites:

and

They give your family and mine. It doesn't show where my William TUDGEY fits in — that's the brick wall. I'm from the bit where Elizabeth Retford and Henry Tudgey  marry. And, notice that it says it is “Tudby” in register! Also, there are Tudby's in the tree too.

Any ideas on how my William, at the top of my tree, fits in will be gratefully received

Ha, God what a lot of Tudgeys, I'll be there forever adding them onto my family tree. 

Thank you though, that is great to have all those new names. I will try and help you work out how William fits in, I hate brick walls. With travellers it is just a world of brick wall unfortunately. They didn't like formalising stuff in general.

It will be great to work out how he fits in but it's really frustrating not being able to find his baptism. I've looked everywhere I know but there must be something that will click it into place.

That's right. Waiting for the "something to click into place" is the problem

Thank you for being willing to help. If only he'd had a name like Ebenezer or Jabez or anything but William!!

Not sure if I can post the picture I want. I did manage to send it to the practice site in pdf format. But it was too huge for words. I'll try the gif I've just done and see if that works.

Hmm. I don't think it did. Hey, it did, but it's a bit big. I hope that's okay.

That is fantastic, I can definitely see a resemblance especially in the lips. He was a very good-looking bloke. 

I'm trying to do my Smith line so I can definitely sympathise with the common name problem. Trying to find the right John Smith is near on impossible.
Although sometimes having a strange name is just as bad because they are commonly mistranscribed or misspelt.

I got stuck on my first Tudgay for ages. There was a Priscilla Tudgay baptised when my Priscilla was an adult as Priscilla Morgan Tudgay but it never said on the baptism records it was for an adult so I assumed it was a child's baptism, probably a niece of my Priscilla, and then I realised that all four sisters had been baptised on the same day as adults, two of them already married hence their married names being used as well.

Who knows why they weren't baptised as children although perhaps the same thing happened to William, maybe he was never baptised...hmmm.

He was good looking, wasn't he? I agree 

You mentioned your Smith line. Where are your Smiths from? I've got a Smith line, too. In fact, my dad was a Smith!

My Smiths are from Oxfordshire and married into the Morgans. Priscilla Tudgay's grandson in fact, Charles Morgan. He married an Ellen Smith, daughter of Thomas Smith and Alice Grant.
