Hi, I was wondering if anybody had any more information on the fellow John Shudell mentioned in article below? - he may have been connected with Wexford?? or some of his issue were? I am researching the elusive Shudall/Shudell ancestors that were known to be linked to Redmonds in the Wexford rgion in about the 1830's - 1850's thanks Robert Ferny Creek Victoria Australia at this site: http://indigo.ie/~kfinlay/ossory/ossory7.htm The Taylors� Gild had had their hall for centuries in Back Lane, at one time known as Rochelle Lane, doubtless so named by the Huguenot refugees, but the present building was erected by John Shudell, Master of the Corporation, in 1710. Prior to the opening of the Music Hall in Fishamble Street, in October 1741, it was one of the largest public rooms in Dublin; and was used, as we have seen, by many other gilds for holding their meetings. It was also largely patronised for halls, musical assemblies, auctions, and' lotteries, and was even used as a dancing-saloon.
