I am trying to trace details of my aunts birth, which I believe was in the Belfast area around 1913.
My aunt emigrated to Canada in the late 1950's [or 60's]after the death of her husband.
I have traced a family of Noddings in Kilpike, Down in the 1911 census where the mother age 57 was Lucinda and the only son was a Samuel Christopher age 18 and apparently unmarried.
I suspect my aunt may be the daughter of said Samuel.
Are there any birth index's / records I can access on line? if not can any one assist please?

Hi,
From the IGI Record search pilot site www.familysearch.org there is a Lucinda Hopkins Noddings born Jul-Sep quarter 1913 in Belfast Registration District. Recorded in Vol 1 Page 144. This should allow you to order the birth certificate.
Regards

Wow! Thats great what a fantastically fast response.
I thought I might have to wait a week or two at least, to maybe get a reply.
I will certainly try and get a copy of the birth certificate form Dublin.
Your assistance is much appreciated

I know my aunts middle initial was H but not what it stands for, so the revelation about Lucinda Hopkins is very interesting :) and clearly needs my further investigation.
I looked in the Proni web site last night but they seem to want a lot of info [parents details] which I don't have, before issuing copies of birth certs or records.
But I do have district, vol & page number courtesy of Kingskerswell, is there another route I should take, post, phone or something else perhaps?
Sorry to come back with another question but this is the first time I have tried looking for details of my Irish relatives / ancestors and haven't worked out the system as yet.
Folks once again thanks very much for your very prompt assistance.

Hi Ray,
Although I have no record of Lucinda I come from the only Noddings family in N Ireland.
There is so much to tell about our family that this space is not large enough. Lucinda Noddings was I believe the offspring or granddaughter of Christopher Noddings and his wife Lucinda Hopkins born in Seapatrick or Banbridge Co Down. We have relatives still living over there and I have met them.The family line extends to England Scotland and USA.
Alex

Thirds,
You can contact Ray by personal message ( click on that curly green bit on the left by his posting) but you have to have made three postings to do it. Just reply to me on this thread and then you and Ray can chat away.

Lucinda was the g-granddaughter of John Noddings and Sarah Brown of Seapatrick nr Banbridge. Her grandfather Christopher Noddings 1853-1915 was their 2nd son. The house at Kilpike is still in existance.

I know nothing about my grandmother lucinda''s family. I have just begun to research my Father's side of the family. I do know she was born in ireland and worked in barking england as a nurse before immigrating to canada.
-
Hi
Its was great to get your post :) :)
Bertie Purdy was married to Lucinda Noddings and he was my fathers older brother.
I have fond memories of my Aunt Lou, her daughter Pat was a little older than me and John a bit younger. I have a photo of Pat and myself aged 2years and 6 months respectively and John and I went to the same primary school in Barking for a while as we all lived on the same estate.
I believe their father Bertie worked in shipbuilding and died as result of some industrial caused illness in 1950. HE WAS CERTAINLY NOT A TRAITOR !
I traced Lucinda and Johns emigration to Canada on the Empress of Britain in 1959 and have often wondered what happened to them and why Pat was not with them.
Would love to share more info and wait to hear from you.
Regards
Ray

Hello XRay and Agoneida,
Did either of you ever find more information out about your relative - Lucinda (Noddings) Carruthers? I am trying to find a living relative of theirs. I have reason to believe that they lived in Vankleek Hill, Ontario for some time years ago.
Thanks!
-
Mfougere
Are you a relative of theirs (or mine)?
What kind of info do you want?
May be I can help.

Thanks for the reply XRay. How can I send you a PM on here?
-
Hi
I think you have to make 3 posts before you can send a PM on this forum.
Then you simply click on the persons name (to the left of the post) and you get details of their profile and at the bottom of the page you get the option of sending a PM.
So you better ask me a couple of questions.
Regards
Xray

Hi again XRay,
Did my PM go through? Still figuring this forum out. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello, Iam Lucinda's son.
Lucinda lived in Vantleek Hill for a few years back in the 60's before moving back to Mattawa where she died in the early 90's.
Can you advise who you are? ....John

Hi John,
I am a distant relative of Lucinda through our common ancestor John Noddings of Seapatrick. Can I help you in your family search?

John NODDINGS . Seapatrick regd. Banbridge; husband of Sarah Brown ; father of Mary Anne b. 22 Mar 1866 & Alexander b. 15 Apr 1868 & male child b. 18 Nov 1870 CR is the only entry in Ros Davies Co Down website. Has the most detailedmarriage certificate been found
On Genes Reunited website http://www.GenesReunited.co.uk the Noddings have records from 1526 in North Yorkshire which spread gradually into other northern English counties, then come much later the first irish birth years
1839 Banbridge ...
1846 Belfast County Antri...
1853 Seapatrick ...
1853 Lisburn County Antri...
1853 Banbridge County Dow...
1854 Lisburn County Antri...
1856 Lisburn County Antri...
1868 Lisburn County Antri...
1868 Banbridge County Dow...
1868 Seapatrick, Co Down ...
etc etc I note that where a birth is recorded is sometimes a district etc
However if you want to see more detail you would need to join Genes Reunited
A Christopher Noddings a flax dresser is in the Belfast St directory 1852 at No23....
The Noddings were signing up in the military from Seapatrick from 1870 Noddings have The Noddings in the irish census 1901 numbered 25 all living with Banbridge. That is unusual
The Noddings have been migrating from Londonderry since 1906 or earlier
There are living Noddings in Banbridge
It is a rare name not listed in the Oxford Names companion
Good luck to you all JimG

John Noddings d 1880 and Sarah Brown d 1904 had 12 children from the eldest William John Noddings my g-grandfather born 1852 and the youngest Thomas Noddings as you stated born 18th Nov 1870. Thomas was a heavily tattood man who joined the the Gordon Highlanders and fought at the Battle of Dargai in 1897. He was wounded in the battle and was discharged from the army.He lived in Glasgow for sometime but eventually moved to Canada and died there in about 1940. Most of the others from this large family either moved to Belfast, Scotland or America. As far as I know only my 3rd cousin remains in Banbridge.
John Noddings was th eldest son of Christopher Noddings 1798-1858.
-
just to add to this, a close neighbour of ours was a William (Bill) Noddings originally from Seapatrick, Banbridge. The family lived beside the old Mullafernaghan railway station.
Bill now deceased, there are two daughters living in the Banbridge area.
-
Hi,
I met his widow Peggy (nee Jardine) and one of his daughters when my wife and I visited Banbridge a few years ago; we still exchange Christmas cards. I believe that Bill died in 1985.
-
Hi John,
I wonder if you can give me information on the parents of Lucinda for my Irish Noddings family tree.
-
Hello,
I am Lucinda's Grandson, and am quite interested to see any information you might have. I am just beginning my search into my family history in the UK, so I do not have much.
She did emigrate to Canada, where she remarried Hubert Caruthers. She had 2 children from her marriage to Berty Purdy; Patricia and John, who is my father. She passed in September of 1996 and is interred at the Calvin Township Cemetery.

Hi Kristen,
Our family originally came from Yorkshire to N Ireland in the 1830's. They were involved in the flax trade. Lucinda was the granddaughter of Christopher Noddings b 1853 and Lucinda Hopkins, they lived in Seapatrick a small village near Banbridge Co Down. Christopher's father was John Noddings who was born in Yorkshire in 1827 and his mother was Sarah Brown. I am descended from Christopher's brother William John Noddings b 1852.If I can be of further help please contact me.
Regards
Alex Noddings

Hi I know this is an old thread but I’ve just found it. I’m interested in Lucinda Hopkins, she was a witness at my gggrandparents wedding. John Maitland and Sarah Jane Magill. Sarah’s parents were Anthony Magill and Martha Hopkins, so I’m trying to establish if Sarah and Lucinda were cousins ie William hopkins and Martha we’re brother and sister??
