Todds of Limavady

[kathken]

Hello everyone.

I believe my Todd ancestors came from Limavady.   Can anyone advise how to go about searching the records for that area.

Hello Rhubarb

Thank you for your email.   Here is what I have so far.

From the I.G.I. I have Hugh Todd born 2 December 1865, at Articlave, Londonderry.   Father is John Todd mother Jane Purdey.   On the 1881 census for Thornliebank, Scotland.   John is listed as Labourer in Works, age 46 born Ireland, which would make his birth circa 1835.   His wife Jane is age 50 making her birth in Ireland circa 1831.   Children listed are Sarah age 20,  Jane age 19, and Hugh age 15 all born in Ireland.   Hope this is of some help.

Regards
Kathleen

Hello Audrey

Thank you for your reply.   I can't make a connection with my John Todd and Jane Purdey so far.   The dates don't match up for me.   My Hugh Todd married Catherine Hunter circa 1885 in Scotland.    Perhaps there is a connection between my John and your Hugh, could possibly be brothers, will need to do some more research.

Regards
Kathleen

Going through older posts and came across this one. By now you might have been able to find more information but if you haven't done so the following might be of interest.

John Todd married 1855 Co.Derry to Jane Purdy.

If the marriage didn't take place in a Catholic church you can order the marriage certificate here:
www.groireland.ie/apply_for_a_cert.htm
It should list names and occupations of both fathers as well as residence (townland) of bride and groom at time of the marriage.

The marriage took place in Coleraine Registry Office:

20 Nov 1855
Groom Name John TODD
Bride Name Jane PURDY
Coleraine Civil Registrars Office
