Hi Tom,

I don't have any specific connection to your names though I have definitely seen them in the OPR & census whilst passing.  If you would like any specific look ups let me know, I have access to Dumfriesshire films at my local library.

Cheers,
Pam

Hi and thanks
 RODDICKS/RIDDICKS
Too numerous to mention
Born in either Rothwell,St. Mungo,Lochmaben, Moffat or Dalton
In the 1851 census some are living in Cummertrees, Dumfries, Kirkpatrick Fleming,Annan, Johnstone. Same for the Beatties. Beatties also living in Gretna and Springfield.
This is an itchy footed family who have branched far and wide. Canada, USA,New Zealand,South Africa and Argentina.
I know a lot about the later lot, but not much inf on the earlier ones



Any information you can find would be much appreciated.

Regards

Tom

I am a Roddick and maybe I can help you.  I and several others in Canada, Scotland, Wales, the USA and England have been studying the overall family for almost 20 years.  Rodddick(s) have emigrated from Scotland to England, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other places around the world.  I live in San Jose, CA.  My earliest family roots are traced to Scroggs Mill slightly east of Lockerbie.  But, Roddicks peppered the entire area of Dumfriesshire and Lanark.

I have your family in my databas and have attached a text file for your info.  Much of the current information came from New Zealand descendants.  Can you tell me the source for the father and siblings of Archibald?

Apparently you have been communicating with Steve Roddick of Wales who sent me a family tree he must have received from you.  I note some significant differences from what I sent you.  I will look forward to your comments.  Some of the generations appear mixed up within the families.  I thank you for your participation on this website otherwise I might not have found you.

Hi David,
I found your data most interesting
 Some of the information I have came via New Zealand from Liz Thompson. I also accessed the 1851 census for Dumfrieshire, and the IGI to try and verify it. If you think my data may be incorrect, I am open to correction. After all I only had one Riddick in the tree a couple of months ago.

Once again many thanks for your help
