Ho Everybody I have a John Trusler or Tusler allegedly born in Shipton, Hants c1802 who seems to have married an Eliza Williams in Shipton Bellinger in 1835. I can't find any reference to this marriage on the net doesn't matter what criteria or surname spelling I use. Any clues? Merry Christmas Peter Jones PS As a slight diversion, I keep saying 'Ho' to everyone at this time of year but no-one ever comments on it. Is that strange or just me?

Hi Everyone I have been on the list before about my interest in a Charles Dudman marrying an Ann Trusler/Tusler c 1820 in the Shipton/Shipton Bellinger area of Hampshire. Since then I have made an unexpected (to me anyway) discovery about the IGI. Up to now I thought you needed to know the full name of the father and the Christian name of the mother at least before you could search for possible children using the right hand side boxes on the IGI. However I have just discovered that I can put a ? against the Christian name of the mother and still produce results. As a consequence I came across information about Charles's daughter Sarah Jane Dudman which supported what I knew already. However, in addition, I also came across information about a potentially new daughter called Mary Ann THATCHER (aged 26) married to Henry TAYLOR (aged 29) on 12 Oct 1842 in Winston, Hants. Firstly. Do these latter two names ring a bell with anyone? Secondly. I am assuming that Mary Ann Thatcher was Charles's step daughter and that her mother may have been Ann Thatcher who could have married a Mr Trusler/Tusler before she married Charles Dudman. This is a bit of a tortuous explanation but can anyone think of something better? Regards And happy New Year Peter Jones Regards Peter Jones

Hi Peter: I am researching DUDMAN/DEADMAN in Hampshire, too. My DUDMANS were related to the MEGISSONS, also from Hampshire. Ancestors of both families emigrated to Canada in the mid-1800's. Does this rather sparse info tie-in to your DUDMANs? The family was called DEADMAN in Canada. Apparently, the immigration clerks were notorious for misspelling or "anglicizing" names of immigrants, as the case may be. In truth, I haven't looked at my DEADMAN data for awhile, so I need to go back and re-acquaint myself with some names. Once I have done that, I will have more data for you to compare to yours. My progenitor in Canada was George Deadman.
