AHEM cep -  Just so you know - I posted this link on page 1.
I figured it might be useful later - and 10 pages later it IS being useful.

Response from Mr Little has been to send me another contact who is searching the Hudspiths, so I have now e-mailed them and asked them to look at this thread.

cheers

Hi CEP

I've had a response from a Dave Hudspith who has looked at (I think) some of this thread, but hasn't been able to work out how his ancestors are linked here.
Do you have any pointers?

cheers

We seem to have got to the point of being completely stuck    We have some possibilities for Philip's ancestry and possibilies for his wife Margaret's maiden name but nothing that we can be in any way sure about.  Even trying to follow up his daughter Jane's in laws and his son John's in laws is problematic with a number of Thomas Richardsons in the area and loads of Hannah M Atkinsons.
Don't know where else to look.
I think all we can say is that should someone from the family come along one day there is enough here with the addition of a couple of certificates to give them a good helping hand.
Can people please consider whether they would like to host September's challenge?  I really can't do one during term time and to be honest I'm quite glad we've got stuck this month as the start of term this week has been beyond hectic

[Paul E]

Well done, JoT, (and everyone else) in taking this as far as you have! 
As you say, this is a great helping hand that's awaiting any member of this family who might be looking.

As per previous months, any volunteers might care to PM JoT.  Its the 'pleasure' of each month's host to choose the next one!

cheers

Burrow Digger has kindly (or is that madly?) volunteered to host September's challenge. I'm certianly looking forward to escaping the Bells

Well done Burrow-Digger - must be mad 

and well done Jo - I got thoroughly confused by the Bell's as I followed the challenge
