Please help me find my Moodie/Mudie/Moody family!
« on: Wednesday 05 August 09 04:37 UTC (UK) »
Thomas Mudie married Rebekah Richardson on 13 October, 1822
They had at least five children
Ann Storrar/Storrier – born 1822
John – born 1824
David – born 1826
Rebecca – born 1827
Possibly a William – born 1829
Charlotte – born 1835
Rebekah, the mother, died sometime between Charlotte’s birth in 1835 and the 1841 census.
Rebecca, the daughter, married John Grant in 1850 and subsequently emigrated to NZ on the HELENSLEE in 1863
Ann married James Anderson in 1851. I cannot track Ann after this date but she does not appear to have come to NZ
Charlotte married James Angus in Scotland in 1863 but was in NZ by 1868 and in NSW, Australia, by 1900
Thomas was in Scotland in 1863 but died in NZ in 1881
I have no knowledge of what happened to the boys other than possible marriages

Many thanks

Hi Enzfan

I think I may have found William's Christening on the IGI:

William Moodie Christening 17th February 1829 in the neighbouring parish of Lethendy And Kinloch.

Parents Thomas Moodie and Rebecca Ritchie.

Possible mistranscription of mother's surname?

A very useful site for filling in gaps in families! Just search parish of interest by surname - saves having to scroll through hundreds of entries in the normal IGI results by county.

Yes, thanks for that.

I agree that that is probably his christening. I've got the birth/christening for all of the children plus Ann, Rebecca and Charlotte's marriages.

The 1841 census has only William listed so whether the two older boys had died or gone to work I do not know. Dad was a flax spinner so they were very ordinary people. So far I haven't been able to find them in the 1851 or 1861 census.

Thomas and his two other married daughters Rebecca and Charlotte emigrated to NZ in 1863

Thanks for the rootsweb tip. I shall check it out
