Looks like Ada never remarried

Name: Ada Ann Hudson
Birth Date: 9 Feb 1888
Date of Registration: Dec 1971
Age at Death: 83
Registration district: Thurrock
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 4a
Page: 2877

I'm puzzled ..........................

Thomas Hudson was presumably a sailor, if he was an officer on board the training ship "Exmouth"


Were sailors involved in the land battles, such as Ypres??????????????????


what would he have been doing there?

re your question as to the children born after 1914 ....................


it's quite simple .................

The child of a married woman is assumed to be the child of her husband, whether or not he is alive or dead. That is, unless the birth father allows his name to be put on the certificate ............ in which case he had to be present at the time of registration.


So ......... if Thomas Hudson did die in 1914, and she had further children, they are illegitimate, but have been assigned HER surname which was legally the name of her husband.



To find out more, you would have to buy the relevant birth certificates, and see what has been entered on them re the father.

Have you ruled out the possible death in 1918 in Yorkshire

1911 so is this him ?

Roy

So when and where did he marry ?

The maiden name of the wife will be on the birth cert

Hi all yes I have a birth certificate for my great grandad born in November 1914 and it says his father was Thomas Hudson and his occupation was an officer on a training ship "exmouth". But then ww1 broke out and I was told he died in november 1914 battle of Ypres same month his son was born and further lead to believe his wife had other children in 1917 1920 1926 with the surname Hudson and was wondering how this is as he died unless he didn't die, she married another Hudson or something. I am well in a pickle. I've seen Thomas's name on grays war memorial in Essex but don't know if it is him or not??? Any help on these topics would be great many thanks

There is quite a lot to read about the Exmouth if you google it.

How have you arrived at his name ?

Do you have a document dated 1914 if so what ?

Was wondering if anyone knows about a training ship called exmouth, docked in grays, essex 1914. my great great grandad thomas hudson was a officer and that's all i know, trying to find out about him if he went to war, his death ect ect. but have no lead.

Can anyone help with info!!!
