On the 14th October, 1880, my Great Great Grandfather, Thomas Dudgeon died in Glasgow, Scotland. This is exactly 140 years ago to the day, which I thought was worth mentioning here. So as Neil and I publish this post, I am quite taken with the significance of no. 14 today as this is also the 14th chapter of his story that we have written. Perhaps numerologists would make something of all of that. Neil McNee has written most of this story, and I have edited it and added the references. Here is Thomas's final chapter.
