Hi Lisa
Thanks for getting in touch. I think I may have met your grandmother but knew her as aunt Ett. I think she was living in Belvedere/ Woolwich area of south London. I have also been going through some old photos given to me by my aunty Vera and have one of Ett and a couple of John and Louise Voaden. I could e mail them to you if you would like copies. My e mail address is dem.other@homecall.co.uk. It would be nice to keep in touch and I would be interested in seeing the family tree that our cousin Julie sent you and sharing any other info about the family. I live in Derbyshire where are you? Look forward to hearing from you again.
All the best
Dawn

Hello Dawn
I have just seen this thread too! Your grandmother and my Grandmother were sisters! My grandmother was Ellen Voaden born 1902 to John and Maria ( although she called herself Louisa!) my Nan died in 1980. I have visited Bratton Clovelly and our cousin Julie sent me a family tree. Interestingly although my Name is Lisa, guess what?! My middle name is Dawn!!!

Best wishes

Lisa

Hi Julie
Have just discovered this thread.My Great Great Grandfather was Stephen Voaden born in Bratton Clovelly 1830.My maternal grandmother was born Florence Sarah Lillian Voaden born 27/5/1900. Her father was John Edward Webb Voaden( m Maria Louise Stringer).Interestingly he also had a brother called George H Webb Voaden.John's father was Stephen and his mother Mary Adams Webb. It wasn't until I obtained a copy of their marriage certificate that I found Stephen was a widower so it all fits in with your info about Rebecca Edwards. I had only researched back as far as Stephens parents so your info is brilliant.Through family hearsay I had heard that Stephen had been enroute to or from London when he met a woman from Devon that he married!
It appears that your great grandmother and my great grandfather were brother and sister.
Denys conntacted me last year but was unable to tell me much about my branch of the Voadens.
Best Wishes
Dawn

An Elizabeth Vodden married William Greene in Gt Torrington 8 Dec 1784 and were my 5x GGPs. I wonder if you have any record of this Elizabeth on your database and can help me locate her baptism/birth? I have so often wondered if she is connected to the St Giles Family. I am happy to exchange information

Nellie Violet Vodden born 1898, Lambeth, Surrey, England

cpstanford — 2009-07-21 04:40:35Z

Nellie Violet Vodden was a witness at a Great Aunt's wedding in London, England, in 1924. To our current knowledge Vodden is not one of our ancestral surnames. I believe that the Great Aunt named one of her two daughters after Nellie Violet Vodden. Also a Great Uncle, WW1 veteran, may have boarded with Nellie in his later years after he was widowed. (He was childless so no descendents to have any information). Thank you if you are able to shed some light on this friend of the Sayers family.

Hi, Steve:
I have been reviewing this board and found your message from Feb 27, 2007. It's not clear whether you were replying to a message of mine, but I will assume that is so.

Sorry for being late in replying. My gr grandfather was Robert Vodden b. 1825 in Beaford, Devon and my gr grandmother, Mary Dyment, was born about the same time. They emigrated to Canada about 1860. Family stories have it that they attended family reunions with Diamond families which suggests that they may have been related despite spelling variance.

I have not been able to learn much about her family.

JanDoholis37 — 2007-02-28 02:16:21Z

hi Steve,
It's been quite a long time since I've been on this board, and unfortunatelyI don't know anything about the names Diamond or Dymond. I believe the names are associated with Brock Vodden who was replying to my original post. I think there are quite a few other posts as well but perhaps I'm confusing with another site. Perhaps you could direct a reply to Brock for more information.
I have a cousin in London England who has been a source of our family info going way back and she may know about the Diamond connection.
I'll contact her and report back here.
The more relatives we find the world becomes a whole lot smaller doesn't it?
Good luck with your search and sorry I couldn't help you.
I'll keep in touch if I do or don't find any info for you.

Jeanette

Stephen_Diamond — 2007-02-27 19:41:22Z

Hi

Came across your posting when looking for Diamonds/Dymonds in Devon. You link your e-mail to those names but don't mention them. Are they a Canadian or Devon connection of the Voddens?

MachelleDumaine — 2006-12-10 09:00:26Z

I need some help with this person. George Albert Vodden,he married Abbie Joanna Brown and they had a son. Their son George Albert Vodden was born 18 Feb 1892 in Lake County South Dakota. He died 15 Dec 1968 in Tulare Co, California.

Not sure if George Albert Vodden was born 18 jun 1853 in Walpole Twp, Haldimand, Ontario. Were his parents Lawrence Vodden and Mary Hutchinson? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mclmsn — 2006-03-01 10:14:45Z

i am trying to find Thomas vodden for my partners mother, people used to call him Tommy im not too sure when he was born, a few members of the family think he may be still alive, the only other things i know is that he was old enough for WW1 (although he was against it and didnt go) and i think that his father was called arthur, if anyone can help me i would be very happy
I think through marriag he was related to the Fenner family

I've sent you a link from the VODDEN website. There's a lot of information but please observe the rights of the individuals to their postings - especially the photos. Thanks, have fun!

Linda

Re: VODDEN ONE NAME STUDY

2005-05-23 12:51:26Z

Linda,

Thanks for your reply. My ancestors all seem to come from St Agnes in Cornwall — not tot too far from North Devon, but not on the doorstep either. If you could let me know how I can get on the Vodden website I would be very grateful.

Regards

Jeremy

Re: VODDEN ONE NAME STUDY

2005-05-22 23:34:15Z

Hello Jeremy:

Sorry to take so long to respond, but after much checking with all my family tree database, I don't have any information on your Vodden line. My line comes from Devon from the St. Giles-in-the-Wood area in North Devon. If you do find a link to anywhere in the Devonshire county, let me know and we'll see if that is where our connection is.

If you wish, I can add you to our private Vodden website hosted on Ancestry.com where there are other Vodden families looking for connections with each other.

Good luck in your research.
Linda

Hello....

I am looking into my grandmother's history — she is 94 and is called Mabel Overy (nee Vodden).

She was born in Stoke Newington, London, but her Vodden line comes from St Agnes in Cornwall. The furthest I have got is to John Vodden (b 1840), her grandfather, who married Margaret (Peggy) Roberts. I know a little of the history between then and now.

Would be happy to help or hear from anyone who knows anything of my ancestors.

VODDEN ONE NAME STUDY

ljhca — 2005-01-05 03:43:06Z

Hi All: I am embarking on a one-name study of the surname Vodden and its variants such as: Vawden, Vowden, Vawdon, Vowdon, Voden, etc. Some of the other possibilities are Bowden, Foden or Bawden, even Baldwin; however, these are a little out of the realm of my one name study. I would be happy to hear from anyone who has any information that I could add to my database of entries. I presently have all the British Censuses and some of the US and Canadian Censuses, most of the 1837 to 1900 Civil Registration entries, the LDS IGI entries and some parish entries. I would appreciate hearing from any and all queries.

Dear Rosemary,
I am looking for the parents of John Vodden b. Wear Gifford 1834ish who was married to Elizabeth Redcliffe. We think it might be a John Vodden b. Beaford 1806 ish and Mary b. Wear Gifford 1805is. You have connections with Beaford and I wondered if we might be linked.
Best wishes Ann

Re: family tree

2002-10-14 12:57:22Z

Dear Geoff, I have been searching the 1901 census on
http://www.census.pro.gov.uk/. There is a Vinc Vodden aged 32 born Bow Devon living in Yorkshire North Riding - an ironstone miner. This looks like your grandfather. I don't think this info will shed light on his parents, but I thought you might be interested to look it up.
Regards
Ann

bobbi162 — 2002-09-29 15:56:08Z

Judy, have recently started research and looking for info. regarding my gggrandmother Mary Voden who was married to Richard Luxton. They lived in London Ontario Canada and I believe they were from England. They had several children, Beck, Edward, Charles, Frank, Thomas, Will and Louise. Thomas was my ggrandfather born abt.1865. Any poss. that your Mary Vodden and my Mary Voden are same?

Re: Vodden Search

2002-08-26 20:29:26Z

Hi, James. I have just started to explore our ancestry and have taken over the search that my father-in-law Fred Vodden started before he died in 2000. I don't have info regarding an Elizabeth Vodden, but John Vodden born in 1834 in Wear Gifford is my husband's gr gr grandfather. We have a birth certificate for John's son to verify that John married Elizabeth Redcliff who was born in 1836 in Monkeligh Devon. We know also, from the 1881 census that John's mother Mary was living with them at West Webbery, Alveridscott. I know it is speculation - but I wondered if your Elizabeth might be the sister of John. I am finding it difficult to get back any further than our John and Elizabeth. Hope this is useful. Best wishes Ann

Hi Lee - yes I may know a bit more about the Voddens than you do. At a guess your grandmothers name is Marjorie and your fathers name may be either David or Brian and I guess you also have an auntie called Christine. Your grandfather Philip, was my father's brother - Bernard. They were all brought up in North Molton and then moved to South Molton. Please email me - I would love to hear from you

jtpatter — 2002-01-31 01:57:48Z

Hi! I'm looking for any information on an Elizabeth Vodden, born approx 1822-1825 in Wear Giffard, Devon England. She married a John Hill, they lived in Monkleigh, Devon, and had 8 children. Mary Elizabeth b1851; William b 1853, Grace Ann b 1855,Robert b1858, Thomas b1861, James b1863, Charles b 1866 and Bessie b 1868. I have all birth registrations, have been unable to find marriage entry so am stuck. Don't have the parents names for John or Elizabeth. Anyone out there with an Elizabeth Vodden in their line?

Elizabeth Vodden

jtpatter — 2002-01-31 01:57:48Z

Thanks BVodden for the info on your Elizabeth. There are certainly similar names in our trees so maybe down the line I'll find a connection. My Elizabeth was born Wear Gifford, Devon approx 1822 to 1825 (her age changes in Monkleigh census of 1861 through to 1891 inclus). I can't find her in census of 1851 as a Vodden or married to John Hill, nor can I find their marriage entry which is strange. Fun and games this genealogy! Cheers, June Patterson

Hi there I am also researching my vodden family. They originated from North Devon and were farmers. I have information dating back to 1704 but can only guarantee information back to 1852 when William Vodden married Jane Rice. Jane Rice was my ggg grandmother. I would be very interested to hear from you. My email address is rosemary.adams@btinternet.com and I live in Derbyshire England

Hi there to anyone else who is researching the Vodden surname. My father was Bernard Vodden born in North Molton North Devon. I have traced my family tree back several generations and my ancestors appeared to have been farmers originating from Beaford, Morchard Bishop and Lapford. It would be great to hear from anyone who has links to my tree. Best wishes Rosemary

Re: VODDEN origins

2001-12-06 17:03:15Z

Thanks Julie-this is very interesting and I will study it and get back to you. I think Bill should add this information to the Voaden book if he hasn't already. We are somewhat lackadaisical recently about our book which is too bad, and it has happened mainly since our senior members have died-Herman, Carl, Vincent and my father Norman Rundle.
Do you have a similar history or is it all with Bill?
Interesting about the vikings! Maybe we should get Bill over there to have his blood tested. I am dreaming about going back to England but don't just want a short holiday.- would like to stay for a few months.
Going now to see if I can trace your tree and digest this new information.
will keep in touch
sincerely
Jeanette
