He was born in Rugby, Warwickshire, the eldest son of Robert Spencer Hudson.[1][2][3][4]EducationHudson was educated at St Matthew's School and then Lawrence Sheriff School, where his interest in geology was started through a schoolmaster taking the students fossil hunting in the strata used for cement making.
