Ruddick/Teasdale of Crosby Ravensworth

[Robinvan]

I am excited about contact with Millsie with respect to the Teasdale family. Among my old records are the funeral notices for Agnes Sprout Teasdale who died on 11/01/1940. There is also a newspaper article referring to her as "a kindly Scotswoman ... celebrates her 94th birthday today after 75 years in Australia." She came out from Ayr in 1862 as a 19 year old.

I would love to get into direct contact with Millsie; we plan to travel to the east coast again next year.

Hi

You need to return to your earlier post as there has been a reply from Millsie and also one from a different family member.

Hi Millsie,
The name Teasdale has unexpectedly 'popped up' in my family history in WA too.
My Gt Grandmother Ada Maud Florence Hall was the daughter of James Anderton Hall and Lillian Helena Bruce. However her death notice in the paper was listed as "daughter of Mrs Teasdale".
I have no idea when or where the name was changed but would be interested to know if we have a link somewhere.
Happy Hunting,
Milllie Mac

Hi Katrina J and Robinvan,

So good to hear from you both.  I would love to hear where you fit into the Teasdale family tree, share information and put our heads together re: the name change. As it seems we are having trouble sending private messages via rootschat, please feel free to email me directly at janeh4573 at gmail dot com

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Millie Mac,

I've found the death notice for Ada Florence Maud Solberg, eldest daughter of Mrs. F W Teesdale of Leederville WA.  I've checked electoral rolls and find listings for Frederick W and Lilian Teesdale.  Checking WA marriage records, Frederick William Teesdale married Lilian Helena Hall in 1893.  I also note the death of James Anderson Hall in 1889.  I don't think there is a connection to our Teasdale family.

Good luck with your research.
