Family History Beginners Board / Trying to locate Marriage information of David Ruddell 1813-1896 Peacefield Arma
« on: Saturday 30 December 23 22:58 GMT (UK) »
Hello;
If there is any missing information that is a wall for my father's Ulster tree, it has been trying to find the name of the woman who my 2nd Great Grandfather David Ruddell of Armagh married.
The closest hint I have is an old letter from to our father from Rev. David Frederick Ruddell Wilson of St. Patrick's Church of Dublin about his mother Letitia Wilson being raised as a young girl at Peacefield by David and Sarah after Letitia's family circumstances changed.
No siblings of David are named Sarah so that name has to be David's wife
There are several David Ruddell's and marriage to spouses in that same time and area, but I have ruled out several after research.
The David Ruddell of Peacefield lived in several residences and both owned, co-owned and rented quite a bit of farmland and properties.
Residences included Ballynacor , Tamnaficarbet , Aghnacloy and of course Peacefield
David Ruddell's parents grave marker is at Seagoe Cemetery and there is a sharp image of it shown at the Lurgan ancestry web site. I visited the cemetery with our family in 1959 aged 8 and viewed the marker. His sister and brother are also buried in the family plot there
There is severe weathering that has rendered some marker's inscription unreadable.
Reading through David's will's many pages mentions the mother of their only child John Ruddell 1855-1906, but no name
I cannot locate any marriage record despite looking and wonder if she was not from the area and the wedding took place elsewhere in the UK ?
