Parish registers show a Martha Hudson as buried on 4th January 1843 aged 89 years. A monumental inscription record shows what appears to be an incorrect record of her birth year, but states that the tomb is difficult to access and read. It was said to have been located behind Trinity altar in St James Chapel, so it is likely that this stone has been moved.
No details can be traced for the other two people, one possibly being William Hudson, wife of Martha. There are many records for William Hudsons in this parish at that time.
