Julie
Thanks for the info regarding the lady called Debbie I am Brians wife Val and I have done most of the research on Brians family and at the moment he is away on business. However I have followed up your family and Brian's and they appear to be connected by Charlotte Woodgate born 1837 who was the daughter of George Woodgate b.1810 she was married to Robert Woodgate also born 1837 who is your great great grandfather and it was there it seems that yours and Brians two branches of the Woodgates converge as although Robert & Charlotte were first cousins they married and Charlotte's dad George(married to Charlotte Hardy but of course you know that)was the older brother of Brians GG grandfather William(born 1814).
William and George's parents were the John Woodgate from Dallum( or Dallam as it now is)and Susan Mumford from Great Waldingfield !!!!.
Oh maybe just for interest Julie our son Murray moved to Suffolk some ten years ago and now has a farmhouse in Wickhambrook which is but a stones throw from Dallam and twenty minutes in the car from Acton and our grandadughter Jessica was born in Bury St Edmunds two and a half years ago so you could say our branch of the Woodgate's have returned to their roots.
I shall E Mail Debbi and see if she has any info which I am now sure will be of interest to both yourself and Brian as you now appear to be cousins umpteen times removed. Thanks for all the info I'll keep you posted.
Oh by the way where did you find Debbi on the Internet? could you let me know.
Thanks again
Regards
Val
