New family trees: Doodsons in Devon and Cornwall, Clifton and Swinton, and Reuben Doodson. If you're a Doodson and were born or married in Devon or Cornwall, chances are you're related to the Devon and Cornwall trees. The largest tree on that focuses on Ernest Doodson, who married a Cornish girl in 1906, when he was serving in the Royal Navy.
