Derry (Londonderry) / Duddy Records in Derry
« on: Friday 22 July 11 06:41 BST (UK) »
I saw your entry regarding records for Duddy. I am looking to find records for James Duddy in Derry. I was told he was from Dungiven or Limavady area. He was born @ 1831. He is listed on the Griffth's Valuation in Killynaught, Tyrone in 1858 under the name Dudye. He married Catherine McFaddin and they had at least 8 children, Elizabeth (1860), John (1861), Mary (1864), Bridget (1866), Sarah (1868), James (1870), Jane(1872), & Catherine (1874).
I found a baptismal entry from 1826 for a James Dudley of Ardground, parents John Dudley & Elizabeth McClosky but I don't know if that is him. A later entry in 1830 for a Thomas lists the parents as John Duddy & Betty McCosky of Kilday and in 1833 there is an entry for Elizabeth Ann for John Duddy and Eliza McClosky. The source was "Register of Baptisms in Parish of Lower Cumber, Londonderry"
The names seem to fit but I am not sure since I don't have any other confirmation that it his him. Can you give me any ideas on how to find additional records that might corroborate these entries?
