Hi again,

I came across a reference to an Ellis Dudley as a constable in the
Royal Irish Constabulary appointed in Bandon in 1767
on site

As Ellis Dudley is such a unique name it is possible that this could be
your Ellis' father.  Also the fact that the children were born in different
places would tie in with a father being moved around due to his occupation.

Just another avenue to consider!

There is an Ellis Dudley of Skibereen who attended a meeting in the West riding of County Cork.  the ratepayers were agitating  for the county to be divided into separate East and West Cork.  This was reported on 8 March 1843 in the Cork Examiner.  I mention it because you believed that your Ellis Dudley had migrated by then.

Hi Tricia,
Firstly can I just say how extraordinarily kind it was of you to post this fascinating info for me. I am very grateful and delighted to have it!
I know that my Ellis and his family certainly had migrated by 1843 and suspect that this Ellis is a relative. It's been a while since I looked at my Cork ancestry, but I was told a while ago that the   C of I  church records were going to be made available online. Please, does anyone know any more on this?
Thanks again,
Chris
