Audrey Dudman

Audrey Dudman was Ace's mother. She was the daughter of Frank and Kathleen Dudman and was born during the Second World War. In 1943, the ship which Frank was serving on was torpedoed and he was proclaimed missing, presumed dead.

That same year, Audrey met Ace, her future daughter. Ace, initially not knowing the young Audrey was her mother, hated her name because of its connection to her mother, but came to love her, at least partially due to her friendship with Kathleen. Ace helped Audrey and Kathleen escape from the Haemovores and sent them to live with her other grandmother. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)

In 1945, Ace visited her mother again. (AUDIO: Casualties of War)

After marriage, her name became Audrey Gale. (PROSE: Ace of Hearts)

At around the age of twenty-seven, Audrey gave birth to Ace (whom she named Dorothy) on 20 August 1970. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation) Ace would grow to hate her mother, before meeting her in 1943. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)

Ace remembered that Audrey cried for days following her mother's death in 1973. (AUDIO: Night Thoughts)
