Happy New Year! I am having a heck of a time tracking down one branch of my family, the SUDRENS. I know that Hannah Sudren married James BLINKHORN at St. Peter's in 1805, and they had several children all born in Bolton until Hannah disappeared from the scene between about 1822 and 1841. James was born in Bolton in 1788. Hannah was my 3g grandmother. James lived on until 1870 when he died in Reddish. Reddish seems to have played an important role in the lives of this family, and SUDRENS appear there and in Bolton on various censuses, apparently going back and forth. The name is prone to various (mis)spellings, including SUCHEN on one census, and SOUTHERN. Richard Sudron married Martha Blinkhorn at St. Peter's in 1807, so there is evidently a strong connection between the two families. Does SKS have any suggestions as to how to proceed? I cannot find a birth or death/burial for Hannah. Nor is SUDREN a Lancashire name really. Seems to have centred mostly in Durham and Yorkshire. I cannot locate any of the above named people on the 1841 census, even though I know James Blinkhorn was still alive. Unless he is the James at Back Chapel Street transcribed by ancestry.com as CHUKHARN. The only SUDRANS I can find in 1841 are Esther (widow of John) and her children. Anne in Victoria BC
