On our quest to find Timtyourie and the Dudgeons, Neil and I travelled to Scotland in 2005.  We were searching to find as much information as possible about Thomas Dudgeon's father, Andrew Dudgeon (1776?-1846),  my great-great-great grandfather, and about Thomas’s childhood. The trail led us to the Family History Section of the Dumbarton Library on Strathburn Place, in Dumbartonshire where we spoke with a very helpful Librarian, Mr. Graham Hopner. Being a Librarian myself, I always appreciate how generous Library staff are with their time, and Graham was no exception and certainly had a thorough knowledge of the local area.
