Reddin in Lorrha

Hi Irene

The only birth/baptism record of John Redden (or similar names) on www.rootsireland.ie/ is 1829 in Tipperary but the parish is not Lorrha or Dorrha

The record which will cost MAY have his parents' names on it.

I searched for Patrick William & Thomas and there are lots of records for all of them 1821 + - 20 years.

3 of the 5 Thomas records are from Lorrha RC parish

1 of the 2 William records is from Lorrha RC parish

3 of the 4 Patrick records are from Lorrha RC parish

I assume you are aware of John's court appearances from findmypastireland (also charges) as there are several rferences to them there.

Hi Col,

Thank you for replying.  No, I was not aware of his Irish court appearances :).  I have a world subscription to findmypast so I'll go search.  I was aware of his court martial for desertion, subsequent transportation and a court appearance in Australia a bit later.  He managed to receive the lightest sentence for everything and had each sentence cut radically short.

I don't have a subscription to rootsireland but I'll go check out the options.  

I'm quite impressed by his facility for getting into the records.  He is proving a very satisfying target for research.  Yet he was a complete brick wall for the last 25 years!

Hi

My name is Maggie Heffernan and I think that a daughter of John Reddan , Mary Ann Josephine Reddon married a William Herrick. William was a brother to my great grandfather Francis Herrick.

The Herrick emigrated to Victoria in 1851 from the parish of Lorrha/Dorrha.

Would be interested in exchanging family knowledge.

my email address is

mheff.1940@gmail.com

John Reddan is my 3rd great grandfather and i believe it's the same John.

On my family tree i have him down as 'John Reddan 1821 – 1905 BORN IN IRELAND, DIED IN TULLA. & Married to a WINIFRED CLEARY (b.1833-d.1907)' But have no further information on his parents, just everything leading up to him.

​I am unsure of all their children as i had just been focusing on my direct line, but Thomas John Reddan was a child of his born in ireland in 1860... my 2nd great grandfather. I had added in an Anne Reddon as i came across it on a record which i think may be this Mary Ann Josephine Reddon mentioned in previous replies on this post.

​If anyone has information could they please message me?

Thankyou.

  Hello,

I know this is a late reply as I'm not really into geonology but I can tell you that my great, great, grandfather was born in Lorrha Ireland in 1797 he married Bridget Marksman at Lorrha in1827. They were sponsored to be farmers in Pyramid Hill, Bendigo , Victoria, Australia. John Herrick died in 21 Oct 1876 in Pyramid Hill. Bridget  Marksman died 30th June 1862 at Inverleigh Victoria.

Their son James Herrick born 1852 in geelong Victoria married Catherine Maria McNeill18th June 1874. James died  1936 Shepparton Victoria. Catherine died 1933 Broadord, Victoria

Their child Arthur Thomas Herrick was born 1886 Pyramid Hill Victoria Australia. Married Adeline Bainbridge Lowerson 1914 Victoria. Adeline was born 1889 Myrtleford  Victoria. Arthur died 1967 Prahran Vic Adeline died 1974 Highett Vic.

There daughter Dorothy June Herrick is my mother. Arthur and Adeline had 7 children. I do not have information on children had by previous generations.

Although this is a long time since you posted your request I hope you are able to make this piece of your jigsaw puzzle fit, cheers Janet 

Hello:

 I noticed that there was a mention of a Reddan from Tulla County Clare.  There are several members who are researching this family.  If any one of you is interested to find more, please let me know at this thread.  As to the question of the first name beginning with a “D”, it may have been Darby.  This was a nickname for Jeremiah.

Kind regards,  

Jane
