I've got a Thomas Hudson, born in Cubley, Derbyshire on 29 Jan 1666, who was buried in Cubley on 26 Jun 1719. There's a list of children born to a Thomas Hudson in Cubley at appropriate dates & I think he's the Thomas Hudson who married Hannah Cliffe from Burton on Trent, Staffs in Ashbourne Derbys. (these places are all in the Derby/Staffs border areas)
So, even if Hannah is a red herring, Thomas himself seems pretty straightforward. His father is also given as Thomas Hudson & I think he was the Thomas Hudson born in 1649 in Truesley, Derbys (6 miles from Ashbourne & not far from Cubley).
This is where the trail goes cold. I can't find any siblings for Thomas b 1666 in Cubley, nor a marriage for the Thomas I think is his father. I did think he might have been the Thomas Hudson who married Ellen Ridge in Manchester Collegiate Church/Manchester Cathedral in 1666, but there's a Thomas Hudson living at Great Longstone, Derbys who'd fit the picture more accurately. He had a daughter named Ellen & Great Longstone is up in the High Peak area of Derbys.....much more logical for a connection to Manchester. The Hudsons in Great Longstone had a Thomas baptised there in 1667, so the only way it could be the same family would be if Thomas had been baptised in Cubley in 1666, then baptised again when the family moved north in 1667 & then he/they had moved back to Cubley sometime & he'd died there in 1719.....not very likely, I think.
So, please, can anyone find any siblings for Thomas Hudson, b Cubley, Derbys in 1666, or find a marriage for his father, who was also called Thomas, born Truesley, Derbys in 1649 ?
It looks as though there was a lot of movement at this time from Cheshire/Lancs down to Derbys
