I am looking for Anne Redden. Her father was Patrick Redden and her mother was Anne Hogan.
Anne Redden was born in Ireland about 1841. She migrated to Australia and married Edward Steward in 1862 in a small town named Hamilton, Victoria, Australia. She died 1876.
Her marriage certificate does have a county in Ireland as her birth place, but I can not read it.
I hope someone can help me trace my Irish ancestors.
Kind regards
Heather
Hi Heather
It looks like Queens County or Co. Laois today (known as Queen's County prior to Independance). On Roots Ireland I can't see any record of children born to Patrick Redden and Anne Hogan in Co. Laois nor does there seem to be any marriage record for Anne Hogan and Patrick Redden.
There is no Redden family listed in Griffith's Valuation for the 1850s and there are none listed in the earlier Tithes Records from the 1830s.
Assuming they didn't all emigrate I checked the 1901 census but there is only 1 Redden from Queen's Co. recorded as a lodger in the Dunne household.
Perhaps there is a different spelling that is messing with the search. Maybe someone else here could confirm that it is Queens Co. as it looks to my eyes

Heather , Reddan name common in Clare / North Tipperary. Check www.irishtimes.com/surname to see the popularity of names in mid 19th century. I would quess North Tipp. A letter of search to editor may help to find readers who may know: email: editorial@nenaghguardian.ie. A famous Hurling goalkeeper Tony Reddan played for TIPPERARY.

I agree with Mrs. Doyle that the county is Queens Co.

Hi Mrs Doyle,
Thanks for your time to help me with the Redden family search. Sorry I have taken some time to reply. I have been researching the history of the Redden name and its varied spelling and Queens County which has been very interesting and informative. I will try Co. Clare and Offaly as a starting point.
Many thanks
Heather

I have Redden's that came from Co. Westmeath to Wyoming County, New York, USA sometime before 1855. James, Michael, Bernard and Anne were all siblings whose parents were Bernard and Ann Redding/Redden. There was another brother Daniel Redden who was supposed to meet his wife (Betsy Hanafy) in New York. He arrived in November 1847 but had not met his wife in Wyoming County by September of 1848. I do not know where they were from in Westmeath but they were all born between 1801-1820. I'm sure that there were more siblings.
My maiden name was Anne Redden
My family came from Ireland in the late 1800s settled originally near Charters Towers in Queensland prior to finally settling in Townsville
