Ruddy's/Roddy's and Reddy's of Donegal
« on: Saturday 27 September 08 02:20 BST (UK) »
Hi
   Looking for information about these family names in the parish of Muff . Also looking for the same names in Carrowmore Carndonagh before 1901. There was also Ruddy's etc in Kellystown Carndonagh but at the moment these are not the ones I am seeking 

Can anyone help.

Have you tried looking in IGI, Griffith's Valuation and Will Extracts from PRONI (Londonderry covers Co. Donegal)- all available online. Might be better if you include some names and dates that you do have already.

Hi
   Thank you for your reply. I have tried IGI the G.V. Tithe Applotment 1901 and 1911 censes and while I get little bits from each they do not give me what I am trying to find and some of it only makes things more puzzling though it is slowly coming together for the Ruddys of Kellystown the Ruddys of Carrowmore are a little more elusive. As for the Ruddy's of Muff it is proving to be realy difficult as I can find little about them prior to my grandfathers marriage in 1893. I have however not checked the wills so perhaps I should look at that. Where can I get this information on line.

           Thank you for your reply.

PRONI website: www.proni.gov.uk
Click on section for Will Extracts on right side of page.

After going through that you might want to post names and dates of what you do have and someone might be able to help you.
