	Dudley was in Worcestershire for several years for record purposes

	Quite agree, Roy. Dudley is only about half an hour from Worcester, by car.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 13 Send Message	I n looking through the records my grandparents places of birth are noted as Worcester Dudler, I cannot find Dudler on a map so can anyone explain if it is indeed a place, a parish or what. Thankyou ever so much
