Yes I got it OK. from Ancestry. Yep here he is with a slightly different b date, but I'm sure it's him. So Thomas and bro George both left fot the US about the same time and ended up in NY state only a few miles apart. George is up the Hudson R by 150 miles or so whilst Thos stays in Brooklyn. Both are tradespeople as one fixes shoes while the other fixes clothing. When I get home I will merge these two studies using my PAF as the FTM makes it almost impossible. ******************** NY City ship arrivals 1848 shows a George Luddington George Ludington Troy Ward 5, Rensselaer, NY 46 1823 England White Male, Jane Ludington Troy Ward 5, Rensselaer, NY 48 1821 England White Female 1860 census: NY, Rensselaer, Troy Ward 7 Leddington, Geo, 34, ENG, Shoemaker Jane,40,ENG Mary,15,NY Geo,11,NY Martin,5,NY Eliza I,2,NY 1870 census of Troy NY, George Luddington age 46, b England, Shoemaker, wife Jane, age 46-48?, housekeeper, b England.

Cannot find him or George in the 1851??? George and his wife might have gone with Thomas to the U.S???? I have checked the 1871 and 1861 with no luck.
