I have researched back to William Cudmore born 1736 George Nympton. He married Joan Hunt in 1761 and they had 5 children baptised at George Nympton: William, John, Richard, Grace and Mary. It was noted on the children's baptism records: "William Hellings alias Cudmore"

My husband's grandfather descends from Richard who was born 1767. He married Elizabeth Williams in 1795 at Dolton. Most of the family then stayed in the Dolton area.

If you have any information on/connection with Cudmores in the Dolton, Dowland, Merton and Ashreigney areas I would be interested to hear from you.
