    Yes indeed! Thomas was the brother of my great great grandfather John Noakes who lived all his life (1800-1954) in Udimore. Thomas and his brother James left Udimore for Australia in 1839 and 1837 respectively. i researched and wrote about the family (and their smuggling connections) in the book “In Udimore He Remained” in 2009. Still a few available.

    In Udimore He Remained is the book i wrote about the Noakes family of Udimore, in particular John (1800-1854) my great great grandfather. His brothers Thomas and James emigrated to Australia in the late 1830s to start new lives; another brother William was put on trial at the Old Bailey for leading a smuggling gang. The book contains a lot of social history about Udimore in the 1800s. Still a few copies available from me at [reveal email]

    Hallo Colin, Your message has only just been brought to my attention. I did a lot of research about Udimore for my book about the Noakes family who lived in Udimore until 1854. one branch then moved to Hastings; others migrated to Australia. There is a lot of social history of Udimore in the 1780s-1850s period in the book-quite a few smuggling accounts too. Contact me at [reveal email]
    The book is £15 plus postage.

It can be obtained by contacting me, Julian Noakes at [reveal email]
