Kilcommon Graveyard Co. Wicklow - JUDD aka JUDDE graves

[J.M. Flannery]

Hi Rory,

This grave is known as  Kilcummin / Kilcommon. I cannot find any mention of Peppard in this cemetery.
However in Wicklow Church of Ireland is the following:

"Pepper, Mary. Erected by / John Pepper / in memory of his / affectionate wives / Mary who died the 21st of August 1853 aged 38 yrs / Elizabeth who died the 21st January 1878 aged 44 years. (Note two lines of an inscription in Italics (a prayer?) have been erased from this memorial)".
Cantwell, Brian. Memorials of the Dead, South East Section. (Privatelly published)

Any help

Thanks JMF and Cara for the info. I have been looking at this John Pepper for a long time and haven't yet established if he is my ancestor. The fact that he is CoI might be a good lead as it explains a couple of other bits of info from the family history.  It is also interesting that he had 2 wives.

Thanks again for the info.

Our family have some Judds buried at Kilcommon graveyard. There is definitely a John Judd Jr. (the 11 yr. old son of John Judd). We descended from Ambrose Judd (1632-1726) of Brandon Ferry, England who came to Ballymorrin, C. Wicklow.
They were originally Quakers, but it was very likely John Judd who became Catholic when he shot and killed his son (a young boy) by mistake.
Ambrose was the son of Laurence Judd of Brandon Ferry who was born in 1602. He, in turn, was descended from Andrew Judd(e) of Tonbridge, Kent, England (1490-1558).

Hello!

Do you have a photograph of the grave?   I too have links to that family.  Do you have the tree?  I could find it here for you but unfortunately I have been able to get a photograph of the graves as yet.

We have a family tree for the Judds. One of my great uncles was a genealogy buff and he wrote a small book tracing our Judd ancestors back to Ralph Judd of Tonbridge, Kent born in 1280.
Are you our lost lost cousin?

I am related via Mary Anne Judd who married William Critchley of Bray, Co Wicklow.  Mary Anne died in 1862 and was buried at Kilcommon in the Judde grave as documented by Brian Cantwell.  The Critchley line from the marriage has been researched rather extensively by me.

A little bit extra on the Judd name in Wicklow. Because your ancestor ‘Pepper’ was buried in Church of Ireland Churchyard in Wicklow, it does not mean they were C of I as many Catholic burials also took place in this Churchyard.

The Judd lady in Wicklow is still hale & hardy but bad on the feet. She will celebrate her 95th birthday in May of this year P.G. Her birth was registered by her Mother. “Daughter of John Judd, Wicklow, Occupation Sailor & Annie McCarthy”.
Her parents John & Annie were married only 4 yrs they had 3 children when her father died. She is the last of these three. Her mother re-married.

To JMF
Thanks for the latest post.  I had noted that the Judd family were Quakers at one time and wonder when they first arrived in Ireland.  Anything extra on the family is always welcome.  Thanks again   "Alma"
