My branch ended up in Paddington.  I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I have Samuel Rudge (Edward's son) and his wife Phoebe Walters' marriage certificate and Phoebe's death certificate.  I'm waiting for some more certificates.  I just wondered, is asthma common in your line?  In our branch, there are only one or two who don't have asthma.  Phoebe died at 45 from bronchial pneumonia.  I asked my GP and she suspected that the damp conditions she lived in (I don't think she was from a barge family, she married in) made her asthma worse and left her prone to chest infections.  There were no antibiotics in 1887, so it proved fatal.  I'm wondering if the asthma came from her DNA.  Thanks.
