I am looking for information linking the Wade's of Glenlough 1750 to the Wade's of Lisdillon 1850, both in County Londonderry My GGrandfather was James Wade b. 1850 in Lisdillon. History shows us that the McQuades (now Wades) originated in County Monaghan but around 1000ad they started to drift north through County Tyrone where they split into two groups. Continuing with the northerly drift, one group eventually settled in the Moneymore area, near Lough Neagh while the other group settled in the Glenlough southwest of Claudy. There are two other original Wade Groups in Britain. One came from Cornwall and were probably Flemish Miners brought in for the Tin mining there. The others were Waads from Yorkshire and were probably originally Vikings who settled there. Ofcourse the Vikings also originally settled in both Ireland and Holland so it is feasible that the whole caboodle originated from the Vikings but that is pure speculation.
