Re: LIDDY, IRELAND AND AUSTRALIA

duaneliddy — 2009-10-25 13:09:02Z

Hi,

My name is Duane Liddy and I live in Northern Australia, my grandfather was Thomas Liddy (born around 1930) and his father was Patrick Liddy. His brother Lawrence also migrated. They migrated to the Northern Territory after being in Queensland. In the Northern Territory they drove cattle and owned many cattle stations. During their droving, my grandfather met my grandmother who was a local aboriginal women, they went on to have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren. Liddy's now make up a large portion of the australian aboriginal population. I am very interested in tracing back the step's of Patrick's father who I believe is the original James Liddy who migrated from the USA. I am also very interested in talking to some family in Ireland. If I find out any more info, il'l post it. Thanks

Looking for information or the descendants of Kathleen Downey and Christy Liddy

Kathleen’s parents were Patrick (John) Downey b 14th January 1872 in the Parish of St Johns, Limerick, Ireland. Patrick’s wife was Bridget Norton born about 1872 in Ireland. They married in 1895 in Massachusetts; USA They lived in Boston City, Suffolk, Massachusetts. The children born in Massachusetts were – Catherine 1895, William 1898, Martin 1901 & Mary 1906. Patrick & Bridget show on the 1900 & 1910 census results. Also on both census returns is Winifred Norton, Bridget’s mother.

The next records we have of Patrick are when he joined the Military in 1914. Patrick’s records show that his dependants were Winifred Norton his mother-in-law and Kathleen (this may be another child or Catherine 1895. Patrick has spelt it Kathleen in his Army application) his daughter he states here that he is a widow. The residential address is given as 36 PENNYWELL, LIMERICK. I do not know what happened to Bridget and the other children born in Massachusetts.

Patrick’s 1914 WW1 pension record shows that he was serving in the CORK RGA REGIMENT NO 614. The 4th May 1916 to 12 May 1918 Patrick served in Malta. Here his dependants in 1918 changed to Ellen Constance Cherrett and daughter Phyllis. On the 31st May 1918 Patrick was sent to India and came back 3rd June 1919.

On the 21st September 1919 Patrick married Ellen Cherrett (Nell) and the residential address was then, Poole Hill, Bournemouth, Hampshire, England. Patrick was medically discharged from the army 29th November 1919 and died in 1928 in Southampton.

After Patrick died Ellen married again, Eli Joe Ernest Toms in 1929 and had three more children. None of Patrick’s first children were brought up with the Toms family yet they would have been very small at the time (Phyllis 12, Mary 9, Alys Dorothy 6 and John 4 four years old) so who brought up these children?

Kathleen married Christopher Liddy in 1920 and had a baby Kathleen that died in 1926. On the Electoral Roll for Limerick for 1945 there was another person Christy Liddy that we presume to be another daughter. The addresses we have are 18 Mungret Rd and 36 Pennywell, both in Limerick, Ireland.

Hi,
I was just checking the notices under Liddy when I came upon yours, you posted it a long time ago so you may have all the answers by now, but by coincidance just this morning I was searching for Nelly Wallace famous pantomone dame and music hall singer and I found an Eleanor Liddy, Actress (Nelly's real name) and Em Hy Liddy, Actor listed in 1901 England Census.
My mother's maiden name was Liddy and this week I made contact with a 3rd cousin in Canada who seems to think we have a connection with Nelly but I have no knowledge of this.

Haven't heard from any Liddy genealogist yet. My addy is changed and is now kjlid4@yahoo.com My husband's family came to Chatham, Ontario, Canada. We learned his grandfather might have been born in New York. Grandmother born in Ireland (Carney or Karney). Grandfather in Chatham was James Liddy, his father we think was Matthew Liddy. Any help?

your time line is later than mine. My dad was born in 1898.his dad jerimiah in 1844 and his grandfather james in about 1817 in ireland. My dad only had 1 brother harry and he was murdered at age 22 in New york and now buried in Harrisburg,Pa.

Re: where have you all gone

nanny2genny — 2007-04-22 23:38:19Z

I have John Francis, born 1900, Michael Andrew,born 1902, & Charles, born 1904, emigrated to Montreal, Canada in 1924, and then travelled at some time to New Jersey, Texas,and Ohio. John married a Winifred O'Hara in NJ in 1928, and died there in 1956.Charles died 1980 in Orange Park,FL and Michael in 1982 in Newark, NJ. These were my great-uncles. The trouble with the Liddys is they weren't very adventureous with names, nearly every branch has a Hugh, an Edward and a James which can make it hard to separate out the various branches. Re: G.Gordon, my aunt told me that he was offered the family farm in Antrim, but wasn't interested, so it was sold to developers.

hi, i have a son who lives in va beach. i know that there where several brothers that came to canada with parents and then at different times some in new york and some in mich and who knows the rest. on our family tree that goes back to 1600's in ireland liddy was spelled lyddy, i don't who
or when it was changed.

Re: where have you all gone

katesandoval8505 — 2007-04-22 14:35:35Z

I haven't been able to connect to G Gordan but he was born in Hagerstown Md where my father was born. I have tried to email his web site but it never goes through.Do you know his parents names? They could be one of Jerimiahs brothers.

Re: where have you all gone

katesandoval8505 — 2007-04-22 14:32:33Z

No ,I live in virginia Beach,Va. My sister and I were born outside Philadelphia,Pa. in the 1940's.Our father William Liddy was born in Hagerstown,Md in 1898. His parents lived in Monroeton,Bradford Co. Pa. We have them from 1850. We can't tell when they came to the US.His grandfather isn't on the 1900 census but his grandmother- Mary- is living in South Waverly Pa. her-obit says NY but tht was not correct. At the time of her death another son James was living with her. I can't bring him forward either.
We have found the name spelled-Liddy, lydia and Lyddy. Now someone has also suggested Luddy as a possible spelling.

Re: where have you all gone

SusanMumper — 2007-04-22 12:43:34Z

hi,
g. gordon liddy is a far distant cousin in my liddy line. my mom read his first book and using the book we went straight to his grandmothers grave who just happens to be my great-grandmothers. there is also a branch in my line in several areas of florida, the tampa area and miami area, there is a street in miami named for them, my dad has a picture with him standing under the sign. i am not in florida but my dad is for the moment in may he will travel back to new york, and i am right in the middle of both.
i am still trying to find all the family in the early 1900s part of the tree, maybe we connect somewhere. later

Liddy Family of Berne Indiana

2006-05-29 14:20:48Z

His name was Johann Ulrich Luetty and he Americanized this to John W. Liddy. In all likelyhood he was part of the Mennonite community that came to the Berne Indiana area in 1852. He and his wife, Amanda Kemp, had 9 children. The family spread out from Berne to Bluffton and neighboring areas. Many of the children did not stay with the Mennonite faith. Yet the children had large farm families themselves.

I'm seeking photos of any of the family members taken prior to 1910. Doug0206@hotmail.com

Liddy/Lyddy of Lowell, MA & Co. Clare

2005-01-20 22:35:19Z

Austin Liddy, bapt. 28 Jul 1874, Kilfenora, Co. Clare.
Emigrated to the US thru Boston, MA on the SS Pavonia. She sailed on 23 Mar 1893 fm Liverpool, England and on 24 Mar 1893 from Queenstown, Ireland. The Pavonia arrived Boston, MA on 03 Apr 1893. Austin is 18 years old.

In the 1900 Fed census, Austin Lyddy is recorded to be 25 years old and is living with his brother-in-law Brian? O'Loughlin and wife Mary. Mary is Austin's brother.

Austin Lyddy marries Mary Agnes Finnegan on 31 Jul 1908 in Lowell, MA. They have three children.

Austin Lyddy becomes a US Citizen on 25 Jul 1928. Same person different spelling of the last name.

Austin dies on 02 Feb 1946 in Lowell, MA.

Austin's father is Austin Arthur? Liddy, Co. Clare. Austin Arthur married a Honora Rynne, Co. Limerick. Austin Arthur & Honora have children. I am attempting to confirm and get details. Here are some of the children:
Bridget
Honora aka Nora and possibly died in Los Angeles, CA
James - had disagreement with brother Austin over inheritance
Jenny - possibly Jane?
John - born 31 Oct 1864 in Ennistimon, Co. Clare.
Margaret - married John Slavin of Lowell, MA
Mary - born 25 Jul 1866 in Ennistimon, Co. Clare and married O'Loughlin of Lowell, MA
Ellen Elizabeth - born 09 Jul 1868 in Ennistimon, Co. Clare believed to have died in San Diego, CA aka Nellie
Patrick - died in Boston, MA
Anna - born 1872, died 06 Aug 1955 in Dorchester, MA buried with brother Austin and his wife Mary Agnes in St. Patrick Cemetery, Lowell, MA.

Again, should anyone wish to exchange information, would like to confirm brothers and sisters of Austin Liddy/Lyddy.

how far back can you go? contact me at smumper@comcast.net.sue

Re: where have you all gone

katesandoval8505 — 2007-03-13 03:48:44Z

The Liddy's we are reying to find lived in Monroeton, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. there also were alot of Liddy's in Chumung Co NY that Sharon v. has traced to Ireland - in Co Clare.Go to the Tice tricounty site and you will find lots of Liddys. So far we can't find a connection to the 2 families.
Our 2 James were born about 1817- in Ireland -our great grandfather and James his son born-1872 in PA- brother to our grandfather Jerimiah..There were several other sons-Michael,John,Thomas, Martin and Patrick on the census. 2 died that we know about. The rest just disappear.It doesn't help that there is no 1890 info. That is an important year for us in several family names. We don't have anyone before 1850- in fact the name was spelled Lydia that year in Bradford ,PA.It was spelled Liddy the next census and Lyddy in 1880. No wonder it it hard to trace people!
James the son was living with his Mom-assume the father has died-in 1900 in South Waverly,Pa. Mary dies in 1905 and Now we can't find James in 1910 or forward.
So far we have no connection to anyone in Canada or other states . Just Pa. Don't even know where or when they came to the US. Any ships info with the Liddy name is nowhere close to our time line.
DO you have any PA family?

Re: where have you all gone

katesandoval8505 — 2007-04-19 01:38:03Z

where and who are your Liddy's?

Re: where have you all gone

katesandoval8505 — 2007-04-20 03:00:21Z

What time line are you seeing? When did they come to America? Where did they settle?

Re: where have you all gone

katesandoval8505 — 2007-03-15 02:13:46Z

We can't go very far. We can't even find where in Ireland they came from. The first Us info is the 1850 Bradford Co, Pa.census. Based on that we assume he was born about 1817. I can't find James Sr. on a ship log to know when he came here. We assume he wasn't married and don't know Mary's maiden name either.
A large # of Liddy's came from Clare- That is the line Sharron V. has traced. As I said the Tice tricounty web page has lots of Liddys.She tells the story that there were 4 brothers-she can only trace 3. Our James fits the ages of her 3 but we can't confirm any connection.Check out that site. It is a good one.If I find any older info I will post. Thanks.

LIDDY/LIDDIARD/LIDAY

Rtuxford — 2006-03-31 10:59:24Z

I am just returning to my family history research after a long absence. I would like to continue my research for LIDDY/LIDDIARD/LIDAY.

I would be particularly interested in information regarding the ancestors and descendants of an Ann Liddy/Liddiard/Liday, who married a Henry Sutton, born 1801 in London, England, died 1886, in Camperdown, Sydney, Australia on 28 September,1833 in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia. This couple had a family of 11 children. I have their names as well.

It is my ultimate aim to have a worldwide family tree for all people of the LIDDY/LIDDIARD/LIDAY name. I would appreciate any family tree information from anyone in the world who shares this same name within their families as I hope to make connections with them all.

If anyone wishes to send me information, either a Gedcom or a file attached to an email would be very welcome. I would be quite happy to send anyone who requests it all the information I have in return. I run Legacy 6 as a genealogy programme on my computer.

Thanks for your assistance, everyone. .

LIDDY, IRELAND AND AUSTRALIA

ernene — 2004-09-22 06:52:09Z

James Liddy born c1840 Drumoland, County Clare Ireland is my g.grandfather.
He married Margaret Clancey (Clancy) who was born c1839 in Newmarket, County Clare.
They were married 26th August 1861 in Newmarket County Clare.
They had 2 children, Margaret born about 1862 and James Kenneth born about 1864.
They then emigrated to Australia. I think that they must have swum because we cannot find any shipping record.
They raised a very large family and lived in Queensland all of their lives.
Does anyone have any connection in Ireland or Australia?
Ernene Prasser

Re: LIDDY, IRELAND AND AUSTRALIA

ernene — 2004-09-22 06:52:09Z

Lee thank you for the information re James Liddy. Do you have any further information on the names of the brothers of James, parents etc.
When he went to America he would have to have been married to Margaret Clancy. I know that there are a few James Liddys's around, and I need to be sure that he is my James Liddy.
Nything else you can tell me would be appreciated

Are you descended from one of the brothers?

Hugh & Brigid Liddy of Randalstown,County Antrim, N.Ireland. I think I've traced his tree back to 1791, thanks to RootsWeb.com

Re: where have you all gone

nanny2genny — 2007-04-22 01:55:31Z

I've just remembered, some time in the 1960's I visited my great aunts who lived on a farm somewhere near Lough Neagh, and I can remember playing with my mother's cousins Gerry & Catherine, who were the same age as me. Do you think that could be you and your brother? My mother & I are called Moya, do you remember anyone of that name?

Re: where have you all gone

nanny2genny — 2007-04-22 01:39:05Z

They are the branch that stayed in Ireland, while brothers & sisters moved all over. If the RootsWeb is the right lineage (and it does appear to be) I've been lucky in that he is the oldest son of an oldest son etc... Don't know how true it is, but my aunt told me that G. Gordon Liddy is a cousin. I'm now in Florida, and I was pleased to see that there is a branch of the Liddy family here. Will have to get to Palm Beach and find the graveyard mentioned!

Re: LIDDY/LIDDIARD/LIDAY

nanny2genny — 2007-04-18 01:56:37Z

I don't think there's enough paper to make a tree for my branch of the Liddys, they appear to be quite prolific, having an average of 12 children each, my mother was one of 14, her parents had approx 80 grandchildren. This branch of the family is from County Antrim. I found some good information on this site, I've got back to 1791. Quite amazed, really.

Re: where have you all gone

nanny2genny — 2007-04-18 01:48:38Z

Through the RootsWeb site I've managed to trace back "my" Liddy family to 1791, where the last name suddenly turns to Luddy! Just more confusion!
