However, if we allow that the French clerk or scribe may have been confused by a written version of a foreign (Irish) name, and transposed two letters to "t" then the underlying placename could be Sleduff, which would make sense. Sleduff = Sleighduff = Slayduff = Slieveduff (see e.g. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/WEXFORD/1999-08/0933773770 ) Slieveduff is located in the former civil parish of Inch, in Co. Wicklow. Regards, The Chief

It looks like Sledoft, but I'm not sure about the f which is different to other lower case f on the page. I can't find anything like it in the Irish Times gazeteer. I suspect it's the name of an estate in Ireland, rather than a parish or townland.

Hello A French correspondent asked your help with names on a French death certificate; I've given her the family names (it's the Walsh family - and because they're near Nantes, it's probably the slave-trading lot, though a bit later) However the name of the place they came from, I can't make out, and I don't know Ireland so I can't even make an educated guess. It is St(e) somewhere that looks like Dost or Dopt and because of that 'e' after St, it'll be a female saint - unless the registrar got it wrong Can anyone help? TIA Liz Owen

The Rifle >>Brigade has a badge, not a "crest." See his headstone and decide for yourself:-- http://www.victoriacross.org.uk/bwwoodal.jpg A MEMORIAL STONE COMMEMORATING CAPTAIN JOSEPH WOODALL VC HAS BEEN ERECTED IN DEAN'S GRANGE CEMETERY, DUBLIN. 2 January 2010 Captain Joseph Woodall VC died on the 2nd January 1962, aged 65, in St Michael's Hospital, Dublin, after being found by his neighbour Joseph King, with burns to his legs and body following a seizure. He died of bronchial pneumonia brought on by the burns. Woodall was buried in Dean's Grange Cemetery in a plot owned by Joseph King who was later also buried in the same plot his name engraved on the headstone, but not Woodall's. The Mid-Antrim Friends of the Somme group decided to raise funds for a headstone after learning from Great War Researcher Liam Dodd that Joseph Woodall VC, who served with the 1st Battalion, The Rifle Brigade, was lying in an unmarked grave in Dean's Grange Cemetery, Dublin. The project to raise the necessary funds was successful by involving various organisations which included the UDR Association; the Medal Society of Ireland; Friends of the Somme; Antrim Community Church and Air Cadets ( NI Command ); the UUP in Antrim; along with a generous donation from Larne businessman Kenny Hogg. The task to design and construct a memorial stone to commemorate Joseph Woodall VC was given to Mark Davidson a monumental sculptor in Ballyclare who has great experience in this field and who also made a generous donation in kind. On the 2nd January 2010 a prestigious ceremony took place in Dean's Grange Cemetery where a headstone was unveiled to commemorate the life of Captain Joseph Woodall VC. ( Owing to the wishes of the King family, the Woodall memorial stone was not placed over his actual burial spot but located elsewhere in the cemetery ). On the 11th April 1918 the 1st Battalion, Rifle Brigade, was rushed up in buses to a position on the La Bassée Canal in order to try and stem the German breakthrough on the Lys. Over the next eleven days it was involved in severe fighting in the area around Hinges and Robecq. On the 22nd April, together with the 1st Hampshires, it took part in an attack which helped secure the Canal. It was during this fighting that Lance Sergeant Joseph Woodall earned his Victoria Cross on the far side of the canal at La Pannerie. [ London Gazette, 28 June 1918 ], La Pannerie, France, 22 April 1918, Lance Sergeant Joseph Edward Woodall, 1st Bn, The Rifle Brigade. For most conspicuous bravery and fine leadership during an attack. ( La Pannerie, France ) Sjt. Woodall was in command of a platoon which, during an advance, was held up by a machine gun. On his own initiative he rushed forward and, single-handed, captured the gun and eight men. After the objective had been gained, heavy fire was encountered from a farmhouse some 200 yards in front. Sjt. Woodall collected ten men and, with great dash and gallantry, rushed the farm and took thirty prisoners. Shortly afterwards, when the officer in command was killed, he took entire command, reorganised the two platoons, and disposed them most skilfully. Throughout the day, in spite of intense shelling and machine-gun fire, this gallant N.C.O. was constantly on the move, encouraging the men and finding out and sending back invaluable information. The example set by Sjt. Woodall was simply magnificent, and had a marked effect on the troops. The success of the operation on this portion of the front is attributed almost entirely to his coolness, courage and utter disregard for his own personal safety. Joseph Woodall was invested with his Victoria Cross by King George V at Buckingham Palace on the 23rd November 1918. Joseph Woodall stayed in the Army after the war and on 7th March 1919 became a Second Lieutenant with one of the Service Battalions of The Rifle Brigade. He retired from the army as a Captain on 1st September 1921.

>From The Cork Examiner, 16 October 1861 - SALE OF PAINTINGS. MESSRS. W. MARSH and Son have been engaged for the last two days, in selling by auction a number of paintings in the Protestant Hall. The collection was very large and contained some good paintings. Amongst the names set down in the catalogue were those of Horace Vernet, Giulio Romano, Poussin, Snyder, Wouvermans, and many other distinguished artists; but the competition for the works did not evince that the purchasers placed much reliance on the genuineness of most of them.
