I am interesting in learning the maiden name of Esther Judge, born circa 1813, who married John Judge in County Mayo. The couple had four children all born in County Mayo: Alice Judge (b. 1837), William Judge (b. 1841), Sarah Judge (1845), and Catherine Judge (b. 1849). The family emigrated from County Mayo to Leeds, England circa 1850/1851. Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Do you know the religious denomination of your Judge ancestors? I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and found one record that may be pertinent. See 1835 baptismal record below for a Maria Judge in the Crossmolina Church of Ireland church. Mother is shown as Esther Judge. In my experiences, C of I parishes either did not show any surname for the mother or they showed her married name.
Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you for your response. I matched a dna profile of a person currently residing in England. She is unfamiliar with her background and I am trying to piece together the connection retroactively. All my relations are from Breaffy, Ballina and Glanduff, Foxford. My great-grandparents's surnames are Quinn, Neary, and Naughton. Earlier surnames include Ferguson, Ginty, and Dalton. I have learned that her Irish male relations' surnames are Berry (maybe Barry) and Judge. The wives are listed as Bridget Berry and Esther Judge. The 1851 English census show the Judge family residing with 2 other families whose surnames can be traced to Ballina. See, https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SPMV-RFX
I know there are or were Judge families in Ballina and Kilgarvin/Bonnyconlon. I'm unable to connect my family surnames with hers.
