Roger Dudley and Susanna Thorne were married June 8, 1575 in Lidlngton, Bedfordshire.
Their children
Thomas Dudley baptized October 16, 1576 in Yardly Hastings, Northamptonshire.
Mary Dudley baptized October 16, 1580 in London St. Dunstan.
Richard Dudley born about 1583 in London St. Dunstan.
Dorothy Dudley baptized March 31, 1585 in London St. Dunstan.
Roger Dudley's parents shall always lay in the realm of uncertainty. There are those who believe Roger Dudley's parents were John Dudley and Elizabeth Clerke, as shown here. But there are others who believe his parents were Henry Dudley and Elizabeth Ashton, first cousin to John.
Henry Sutton Dudley
Elizabeth Ashton
Alternative Death date March 14, 1590 Ivry-la-Bataille, Departement de l'Eure, Haute-Normandie, France.
In Thomas Thorne's will his daughter was listed as a widow. That will being dated October 29, 1588. This would imply, Roger died before 1590. The most likely time would be during the Siege of Zutphen, have joined his kinsman, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester.

Roger Dudley (124341732)
Suggested edit: Roger Dudley (born between 1535 and 1545 – 1586?/1588?) was an English soldier.
Dudley was born in London, England, and may have been baptised in Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire. Dudley's parentage has never been satisfactorily established. Genealogist and researcher Marshall Kirk in 1993 published the results of his exhaustive survey of the Sutton Dudley families, and came to the conclusion that Roger was the son of Henry Sutton Dudley[citation needed].
Roger may also be the Roger Dudley who was matriculated as pensioner at Christ Church College, Cambridge, in 1566, but left without a degree[citation needed].
It is believed that Roger married, on 8 June 1575, at Lidlington, Bedfordshire, Susannah (née Thorne), herself recorded as having been born on 5 March 1559/60 in Northamptonshire, and baptised at Yardley Hastings, the daughter of Thomas Thorne and Mary Purefoy, (the Purefoys being of noble descent).
He is reported to have been a Captain in the Earl of Leicester's militia, fighting with a commission from Elizabeth I, and under the banner of Henry of Navarre. He was thought to have died at the Battle of Ivry, France in 1590[citation needed]. However, the Reverend Cotton Mather of Boston wrote: "Thomas Dudley's father was Captain Roger Dudley, -- slain in the wars, when -- his son, and one only daughter were very young". The will of Thomas Dorne (Thorne) of Yardley Hastings, Gent., dated 29 Oct 1588, bequeathed "to the children of Susan Dudley, my Daughter, widow, £10 to be equally divided". (S1,S11). Therefore, Roger was dead at the time of the will of his father-in-law, which, written in 1588, eliminates the Battle of Ivry as a possible date for his death. It is most probable that he died at the Siege of Zutphen in 1586, having followed his kinsman, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, who was a principal figure in that battle, which also claimed the life of Leicester's nephew Sir Philip Sidney.
Marshall K. Kirk suggests that Roger made his home after his father's death with Peter Grey, a "Queen's servant", whose manor of Segenhoe was two miles from Lidlington, (Bedfordshire), where Roger was later married.
