From my research it seems that the Trudgians and Trudgeons are mostly descended from the Trrudgians in St Stephen in Brannel.  The spelling just seems to have changed over the years.

Government immigration records confirm the arrival to Australia in 1879 of a "Trudgeon" (same age as our "Issachar") whose forename is a phonetic variation of "Issachar" - i.e., "Hezekiah."  No doubt in my mind that the scribe meant well, but simply got the spelling wrong.

SURNAME           Given Name   Age   Ship           Date                   Location   Page   M/film 1
TRUDGEON        Hezekiah       23   Earl Derby   20 Jun 1879         IMM/116   279   Z1959   

The Brisbane Courier (Qld.) confirms the arrival of the "Earl Derby" on Friday 20 June 1879.

Regards,   Clarke.

Issachar's Baptism has at last been found, it has eluded many researchers for some years.  The Cornwall On-line Parish Clerk has been kind enough to transcribe the Luxulyan PR containing the following;

:: Record Details ::

http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/more-info/?t=baptisms&id=2295296

DAY MONTH:          16-Mar
YEAR:             1855
PARISH OR REG DISTRICT:    Luxulyan
FORENAME:          Isaacker?
SURNAME:             TRUDGEON
SEX:                son
FATHER FORENAME:       Joseph
MOTHER FORENAME:       Betsy
RESIDENCE:          Treskilling
FATHER RANK PROFESSION: labourer
NOTES:
TRANSCRIBER NOTES:
TRANSCRIBER:          Karen Duvall
FILE ID:             mc840_bap_kd

Seems that after Issachar's birth in 1854 the family moved from Bodmin to Treskilling.  I believe that the spelling of his forename is to be corrected to "Issacher" in the transcription.
What a helpful website for Cornish researchers!
