Hello folks My ggg grandfather George RUDGE was born in 1815 at Ruardean Hill,as was his wife Ann JONES in 1818. Looking at the OS Map for the Forest of Dean I found a place called THE RUDGE about 2 miles north of Ruardean Hill,near the village of East Dean.It is not clear on the map what it is,possibly a hamlet or small farm. Are there any listers who maybe know the area,who would be able to tell me anything about The Rudge and if there was any connection to the RUDGE name? thanks Simon
