Thanks for that Nicky,
That does look like him... it a bit early in the morning here, but i wondered if maybe Diana was a Plumpton it 1841, or is that a long shot, why did her son have a different name then... am i going to wake up in a min and think that was a silly question....
i Googled "Blue Coat Charity School" found some interesting info on that, thought it may have been a school for poor or naughty children..
Is Tudge a common names back then....
once the dau Diana / dinah married they changed there names like it was going out to of fashion, might look back it that and see if there is any clues.
Thank you so much , every bit helps..
best wishes

Hello Ann W
I have been tracing the Plumpton line. I believe that Diana Plumpton had Joseph Plumpton rechristened in Birmingham. I have actually seen this before in the Lancashire area.
Also on the IGI Diana appears as Shaso. However on the London Parish Records (Marriage 1817 )it is Shaw.
Other children born to her and Samuel are John 1818, Samuel 1820, James 1821. None of these children appear in the 1841 census with her. Nor does her 2nd husband ? Tudge.
The name Tudge as been transcribed as Fodge for the ancestry 1841 Census: HO107; Piece 1145; Book: 8; Civil Parish: Birmingham; County: Warwickshire; Enumeration District: 24; Folio: 11; Page: 15; Line: 25; GSU roll: 464181.
I have also been unable to find a certain death for Samuel Plumpton. Or a Marriage record of a Dinah/Diana Shaw or Plumpton to a Tudge.
By 1851 Census Diana is a widow again. She appears in the 1861 Census. and I have a Death Index for Mar 1879.
Hope this is useful if you need anything on Joseph Plumpton let me know.

Hi Ann
I am guessing that's a type error and you meant G. Plumpton c 1770.
Sadly for me my own pc as give up the fight and died I never got around to saving a lot of things including all my notes on the Plumpton tree. I am sure I had possible parents of Samuel Plumpton but nothing certain
Having said that the London Parish Register on Ancestry was not available back then so I will do a search later and get back to you if I find anything.
But yes Joseph did marry a Ann Cutler and they had 9 children all born in Birmingham. The tree I am researching follows Thomas Plumpton born c 1863
Catherine Plumpton
1853 –
Mary Ann Plumpton
1859 –
Joseph Plumpton
1861 –
Thomas Plumpton
1863 –
Eliza Plumpton
1865 –
William Plumpton
1870 –
Emily Plumpton
1873 –
Elizabeth Plumpton
1874 –
Ann Plumpton
1876 –
If you want any further details just let me know. Looking on Ancestry I can see there are quite a few people researching this tree and I have just found Ann Cutlers Parents and grandparents.

Thanks for your help.
my family comes from the diana's second marriage to the Tudge,, her daughter Diana married a husselbee, and their daughter married a Willetts,
Your help has got me interested in this family again
thanks
cheers

Your welcome.
Hope those brick walls come down.
Couple of questions. I found the BMD index for Diana Tudge marriage, only the options are a Thomas Cross or John Hoselby.
However on the 1861 census I find Diana down as born 1832 and her husband is Thomas Husselbee.
Is this a transcript error on BMD or was both John and Thomas his name?
And what was a Japanner?
Marjie

yes its John Husselbee.. but at times called thomas and husselbee is spelt all sort of ways
Japanner is a method of varnishing
yes very confusing with these name changes.
cheers

Hi All
I too am looking into the Plumpton family tree and specifically at Thomas Plumpton, so Biko this message may be quite relevant to you.
Thomas Plumpton is my GG Grandad, my Grandad (still very much alive and well!) remembers him well and his Grandma Jemima (nee Jackson) My Grandad lived with them whilst he was growing up, and remembers clearly having to help carry Jemima out of the air raid shelter when she passed away during a bombing raid in Birmingham. He had her name added to the air raid memorial in Birmingham which is at the back of the Bull Ring. I have a photo of Jemima, with her daughter; my G Grandma and my Grandad.
I have recently been to the Central Library in Birmingham, where they hold records of the Blue Coat School. The research that I did on the school suggested that it was for children from poor backgrounds who had shown some form of potential. The child was normally sponsored by someone and would probably go into an apprenticeship. I found Joseph's records, which show he entered the school on the 18.06.1838 and was signed in by (and her signature is actually there) Diana Plumpton. He was sponsored by someone called George Calley Lingham ( we think a button maker in Birmingham)
On the marriage certificate for Joseph and Ann it shows that his father is a silk weaver, and I think that the two Christenings are correct, he was Christened in Birmingham and the document is with his school records. That day around 20 other children of a similar age were Christened, we think it is to do with the school and perhaps something compulsory.
Also I have looked at the census from 1851 and it could be TUDGE or it may be JUDGE? I also found a death of a Dina JUDGE on the BMD dated 1878, Dina was aged 79 at the time? This adds up with the DOB. Don't know whether this might this be the Tudge / Judge link?
I'm hoping to go the the London Metropolitan Archives in the coming weeks but it would be great to hear any more news!
Regards

Hi,
Thought you might be interested in the exploits of John Husselbee the eldest son of John Husselbee and Diana Tudge.
born in 1854 in Birmingham he was a well known villain and there are a number of reports of his various unlawful deeds. In 1891 this report appears in the Birmingham Daily Post:
John Husselbee of Thimblemill Lane convicted of assault on James Lynam. Husselbee said to have been convicted 15 times before and received a 7 year sentence for robbery. sentenced to 2 months hard labour for assault on Lynam, 2 months for assaulting Horton and 1 month for assault on a girl.
His brother William b 1869 was also a problem
1894:
William Husselbee aged 22 of 24 Rea Street charged with Joseph Bostock of being drunk and disorderly and assaulting a policeman. Husselbee had been in trouble 14 times before. Each fined 20s and costs
