Dear All,

As I am sure you are aware there are a number of Ruddells in the Portadown / Lurgan area in Ireland.
I am linked to the Ballintaggart group ( it was my Grandfather's farm) and I grew up in the area. I have a great deal of information for that branch.

I will be happy to share it.  I am having a bit of an issue linking the 1800's  to the correct mid 1800's brother, but getting there.
I will be in Ireland in August, and could take any photos you would want of grave stones etc.

Regards Anne

Hi,

My Great Granny sister Elizabeth Alexander married John Ruddell.  I actually visited the Grave last week.  I still live on the road they lived on!

My Great Granny was Martha Matilda Alexander.

I'll send you a pm message!

gpanderson, I think you need to make 3 posts before you can send messages. So just chat a bit more on rootschat :D

I'm glad you bumped this thread. I have the Alexander side of this family in my tree and I'd be interested in learning more about the Ruddells of Ballintaggert.

Does the grave say John Ruddell was 105? I don't have information about his parents or siblings so it would be nice to get a bit more on that.

Hi gpanderson

Welcome to RootsChat.

I am not too sure who you are trying to contact but the notification to Anne has just bounced back to us, it looks like she may have changed her email address.

I think that I may have managed to get a message to her to notify her of your reply? (fingers crossed)

Regards

Sarah

Hi ansimi,

The photo of the headstone that we have shows his age stated as 105. He died on 20 Jan 1953 and was born in 1847. We have one photo of him.

We don't know much more than that, but we do have a transcript of the article that appeared in the Portadown newspaper at the time, telling about his funeral.

Anything else that you or gpanderson can tell us about the Ruddells or the Alexanders would be most welcome!
