Would anyone who is so fortunate as to have information re: Rudds in England or Ireland...or from anywhere...from the mid-1500s backwards, please announce their fortunate acquisition to the list for those who might be new since the information was last posted? I've been looking for a needle in the haystack Rudd around Yorkshire sometime during the reign of Elizabeth Tudor (1558 - 1603) who might have been one of her "most loyal" soldiers and gentry with which she used to populate Ireland with English. I've got an Anthony Rudd in Co. Wexford in 1630 who has rumors floating around him about being posted over by his Queen. There have also been Rudds in Ireland since the 10th century. My line just sort of abruptly peters out there hence the theories they were Yorkshiremen. I BELIEVE I've read Rudd is still a reasonably common name in Yorkshire (read a '60s novel that had a Rudd in it and it took place in Yorkshire....since I'm a writer, there's a method to naming and placing characters....sometimes). It's a common name in Wexford even today. I don't care if Anthony 's ancestors were English or Irish, I'd like to find them. It's easy enough for me to know anything to do with the John, Jons, and Burlinghams (although I LOVE that name), don't have anthing to do with me. But, I'm all ears and eyes prior to 1717 since I'm only linked by guess from 1717 - 1630 in Ireland. Thanks for this interesting new thread on the list. It's great for those of us who know we are NOT Capt. John or Burlingham descendents while it could be good for you too!

Sorry, but I wouldn't trust it. The one who died about 1668 is the one Jack Dieterle told us about and was the emigrant as far as we know.
