Hi Fliss,

Yes please I'd like to see your tree, & see if it helps sort out this muddle!  Isabella Howard was my great great granny, so if I could find the right Thomas he'd be a triple great!

Does Hudnall have it's own parish records?  According to http://www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/data/answers/answers-2001/ans-0167-hudnall.htm it was part of the parish of Edelsborough (Bucks).  IGI has 3 baptism entries for children of Thomas & Ann in Edelsborough, Thomas (2 Mar 1806), James (7 Jun 1812) & Sarah (22 Jun 1817), but no Mary Ann, & no guarantee that those 3 were in Hudnall.  In fact IGI shows various sets of Thomas & Ann in various places, but none of them conclusively 'fit', if you know what I mean!

The Society of Genealogists has marriages up to 1812 for Edelsborough, but not baptisms.  I could have a look for Thomas & Ann next time I'm up there.

How do you fit your John born 1820 with the John on the IGI born 1832 in Shenley, son of Thomas & Ann??  I'm a bit suspicious of multiple Thomases & Anns!  Or perhaps with that 'niece' entry, that there might be 2 Thomas's in different generations (or more).  Also isn't it confusing that there's one Shenley in Hertfordshire & another 2 Shenleys in Bucks!  Took me a while to figure that out, grr!

Are there any Hemel Hempstead connections in the tree?

I too had a Thomas and Ann that potentially (however loosely) may have been connected.
