Hi Fiona ,Valerie I am easily side tracked by curiosity, you never know when it might help your own lines. To me Culloden is an England Scotland battle(wiki? gives gaelic chuil logair (? my spelling) Family search has an intriguing entry for Partick Culloden of Dublin with a few variations in spelling.(Scotland search) On other search sites Cullodens appear in the USA ,Lancashire and West Yorkshire(and I believe the 1745 rebellion fizzled out in around Lancashire). The other interesting line seemed to be Lancashire emigrants to the Far East(India,Burma) Final comment.The only Scottish born Cullodens I found were William Gibb Culloden born Greenock with an American mother and father out in Rangoon. A pleasant hours sidetrack.thank you Back to Devon bmds Regard Richard -----Original Message----- From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Fíona Tipple via Sent: 17 November 2014 16:01 To: Valerie Barbara Garton; goons@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [G] Ireland surname question - CULLODEN Valerie, What makes you think it might be Irish? Its not a surname Ive ever heard here (not that that proves anything!), and is not recorded as an Irish surname by either MacLysaght or Woulfe. Its not in the Irish phone book either. It could be masking an Irish surname I suppose - MacLysaght mentions the name (Mac) Culleton/Colleton, from Irish Mac Codlatain, which *might* transmogrify itself into Culloden outside Ireland, but I doubt it.
