Hi Marie Celeste,
My granda Albert died in 1973 at R/Ham on the register his name is Albert Edward and dob 11 April, 1895. An elderly relative believes that he came from the manchester area so that would tie in with the Dudding connection.

Thanks to "Sue in Leeds" I was able to get somewhere in searching for my Grf, Albert Webb who she discovered in the 1920 electorals was living with a couple called Dudding in R/Ham, Yorks, I then found him with an Elizabeth Dudding (mother born c 1865 Clee Hills, Shropshire) in Manchester 1901 census, aged 6yrs two siblings both older than Albert. I sent after the birth certificate expecting to see that his father's name was Thomas (name on marriage cert - deceased.) but to my amasement it says John Webb..!! However occupation was the same Tailor (Journeyman). Mother's name Elizabeth nee Lucas. I have searched and searched through the census records and BMD for some trace of "John" Thomas and Elizabeth but without success. Elizabeth married James Dudding in 1903 but was already calling herself Dudding in 1901. This is driving me mad. Where do I go from here...??
Thankfull for any tips...Jean
