Jane Rudd

[genjen]

Hi,

The IGI has a baptism record for Jane Rudd, 20/8/1724, Brough under Stainmore, daughter of William Rudd.

Can anyone tell me who she married?

I am hoping it might have been John Crossland, 1748, Spennithorne, Yorkshire but feel I need to eliminate any chance of her having married more locally. I do have other ancestors from Brough marrying into Wensleydale and Swaledale families so maybe this is another one.

Hope someone can help.

I had a look at the Carlisle marriage licences.  Nothing for Jane Rudd.

I don't know if the following is of interest:

In 1715, a Thomas Rudd of Brough is a bondsman.

In 1748 there is the marriage of a Margaret Rudd, bondsman William Rudd of Warcop.  I think the same William appears as bondsman in a couple of later marriages.

Let me know if you want details for the above.
regards
Deborah

Deborah, thanks,

If the Jane from Brough didn't marry in the Carlisle diocese, I am more hopeful that she was the one who married John Crossland in Spennithorne. Obviously this doesn't necessarily follow but I am almost ready for that giant leap of faith!

Yes please, any Rudd information would be welcome as it all helps to fill out the picture - even if it ends up in eliminating this particular Jane.

Thanks again,

Jen

The absence of the licence doesn't mean much.  These are transcripts of transcripts of what survived and most people would have used banns anyway.  But as you say, even negative information may help.  Was this family well off?

1 July 1715
Ewbank, Jonath, Burentwaitt
Richardson, Margt.
      Rudd, Tho.  Brough, p Brough

23 Nov 1748
Parke, George, Swath-burn, p Ashby, yeoman
Rudd, Margaret, Warcupp, spinster
      Rudd, William, (marks), Warcupp, yeoman

There are other Rudd marriages but it takes quite a long time looking them up and transcribing them.  If you can give me first names or places or approximate periods that might be of interest then I can check for them.

Thanks for the new information, Deborah. I know absolutely nothing about the Rudds other than that Jane married Christopher Crossland in 1748 in Spennithorne, N. Yorkshire. I can't find anyone to fit the bill closer to hand so am really struggling.

I am interested in the fact that one of these marriages involves a Ewbank as this is a name which comes into my tree, three generations further back, when Arthur Dickenson married Annas Ewbank, Brough under Stainmore, 1632.

From what I have found, I suspect they were not too badly off but I wouldn't go so far as to say wealthy.

I am very grateful for your help and only sorry I can't give you anything more to go on.

Regards,

Jen

I have a couple of Ewbanke marriage licences for Brough in 1737 and 1746 (and some from later still) if you are interested in those?  The marriage licences effectively start in 1699 so nothing for the marriage you mentioned.

Hi
I have Jane Rudd, married to John Crossland in my tree although at the moment it is a tenuous link.

The link isn't tenuous, it is real, but as far as I am concerned it is the end of the line.

Haven't been able to get back any further than this couple in my tree. Maybe one day, when I am retired and have time on my hands.

I've just re-read this thread and realised that at one point, I  had Jane Rudd marrying Christopher Crossland in 1748. It should be John Crossland - I was obviously having an off moment when I typed that message.
