Birth in Down of Lucinda NODDINGS

[XRay]

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

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

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.
