However, your post prompts me to give the following information of baptisms from Nottingham (city) England.....St. Mary's Parish. I got these when I was trying to determine if there might be a connection to my HOYLE family of Nottingham St. Mary's who emigrated ca 1819 to Warren Co, NC.. Timothy Hoyle (who was a hosier in Nottingham prior to emigrating to Warren Co) died within a few years of coming to Warren Co -- before 1825, when wife Hannah (nee Dodson) Hoyle remarried to a William Lee RUDD. As it turns out, it would appear Wm Lee Rudd is connected to the Rudds of Mecklenburg Co, VA, who presumably were in the US for quite a number of years, hence no apparent relationship to these RUDDS in Nottingham, Engl. <sigh> Nevertheless, perhaps the following baptism of Rudds in St Mary's Parish, Nottingham, will be of some use to someone on this list..... --Sandy [email protected] ---------------- >From the St Mary's Parish baptism register, Nottingham, England: >Date Surname First name and Parents >13 Aug 1709 RUDDERIC ?
