Hi Sue,
I am sorry to say that the following information on the PEDEN'S, which I don't recognise, is all I have to date and it's not a lot either! apologies.
Before I give you the information, try logging onto the PRONI website. Here is an extract of the 1912 Declaration explained:
The archive of the Ulster Unionist Council, held by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), contains just under half a million original signatures and addresses of the men who, on 28 September 1912, signed the Ulster Covenant, and of the women who signed the parallel Declaration. In total, the Covenant was signed by 237,368 men, and the Declaration by 234,046 women.
PRONI, 'Ulster Covenant' 'Search' enter your desired surname. It is very straight forward. There you will find a list of all the Peden's Peaden's etc. You will also find a John Peaden of Newtownards. Good luck.
b. Anna PEDEN 30Nove 1889
father: Robert PEDED - labourer
mother: Anna PEDEN (nee GEORGE)
b. Isabella PEDEN 25Oct 1882
father: Owen PEDEN - Block Printer
mother: Margaret PEDEN (nee Doherty)
I hope this helps however, if and when I get a chance to go back to Belfast I will take a note of all the birth, marriages and deaths of ALL PEDEDN's in Antrim and Down and through time I will forward what information I have.
Regards,
Matty.
