Sandy, I am researching my Judd(e) ancestors and have so far reached a Thomas Judd who married in Horley in February 1627 to a Dorothy Swetnam. Thomas and Dorothy would have been born circa 1605 or so. I am beavering away researching anything on Horley and Chandlers, Thomas's given occupation, and have come across the following which may be of interest to you. If you have anything on the Judd(e) family it would be appreciated, anyway..... (Source the VCH Horley and Hornton, Oxfordshire)Light, Christopher (died 1546), in 1553 the younger Christopher Light bought another quarter..... (this Christopher Light died at Horley in 1584)leaving half the manor house and his demesne in Horley to his wife margaret for life........ and the rest of the two manors to his son Richard, aged four. By 1617 he had left Horley for Banbury.
