The impetus for this page and most of the information is thanks to James Akers who is the archivist of the Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society - the same society that Edward Hudson belonged to, and which has now been operating for over 200 years.
Th archive makes specific reference to Edward Hudson here . There are a couple of links to shows that he judged on that page. There is also a link showing he exhibited other flowers such as carnations.
First is the journal for the Royal Horticultural Society 1902-3. In it is a picture of George Edward (Schofield) the tulip named after Edward Hudson Schofield. The coloring is white with purple flames.
Next is the Report of the Tulip Nomenclature Committee, 1914-1915 . Note the spelling of Scholefield! The reference is half way down - get there with CTL-f searching for george (the search box at the top does not work).
He exhibited in the York Note the search box on the left - put George Edward in quotation marks and press go (that is "George Edward")
He was mentioned as one of the members of a society that was declining (although it has now recovered) in a book by Anna Pavord who was quoting the Wakefield Society Annual Report in 1928 - twenty odd years after his death.Link.
There are several newspaper articles mentioning his activities
Finally, in The Book of the Tulip we have a reference at the bottom of the first page and a description on the next page
