Hi , in the FODA Tithe Apportionment for Tavistock there is a Cudliptown , in fact a lot of Tavistock seems owned by the Cudlips, and there is a Henry Sleman one e in Gulworthy as a tenant. But land may well have been locally named but not officially and from the 1851 entry it clearly looks like Coaltown and Rubbytown. life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "David L.
