Jackie

Could you say where you got the dates for him from, and the connections to your ancestors or other definite link?
Thanks

Portesham - Dorset

how could he be the brother of someone with the surname Durande?

sorry , there is a possible family link to Rev Durande Rhudde, of East Bergholt

Jacqueline, you do need to answer patchem's questions before anyone can really help -- you have more info than you've given, so it makes no sense for people to have *less* info than you have and try to help.

His children? Names, born when, where? You descend from which one? and the sources of all the info.

So Durande Rhudde and John Rhudde would be the same generation?
- edit - I meant Anthony Rhudde (if born 1731).

If Durande Rhudde added the H and E to Rudd, how did John (I mean Anthony), of the same generation, become Rhudde?

If this is the family, it puts John Rhudde born well before 1738.

edit -- My mistake!! I was confusing John with Anthony. Anthony could well have been born when you said.


The name Rhudde does not appear in the GRO index at FreeBMD or in the censuses at Ancestry.

Her name is actually Shergold. He is a clerk.

Hi Janey, AMAZING... yes Durande and Anthony died approx 3 years apart. Durandes grandaughter married Constable the painter. there is some info re Durande but Anthony is a mystery. I have found little about him. I believe his wife was Mary Wood, nee Astle (widow) her father was Daniel Astle, her brother Thomas an attorney in Whitehall. I have records of a court case Taylor v Rhudde over her inheritance from Mr Wood, where Samuel Johnson gave comments, so they moved in wealthy circles
Jackie

By the way Anthony married 1776, but I dont know where!!

Sorry Janey, John was Durands father, I only think, Anthony may have been a son or close relative to him?

Jacqueline -- *how do you know* when Anthony married? How could you know that without knowing where??

(See my edits above -- I was indeed confusing John and Anthony.)

An announcement in the Sherville and Yeovil Mercury 1776
1st Jan 1776

Also in Western Flying Post and Sherborne and Yeovil Mercury

25 may 1778 Re. John Rhudde - Vicar of Portesham died

Okay, I'm completely confused.

"I am researching Anthony Rhudde, born I believe Portesham to John Rhudde, lived at sometime in Staffordshire, poss brother to Rev. Durande, who added the h and e to Rudd . I know he (>> who??) was born 1738-1816 married Mary Wood."

"John was Durands father, I only think, Anthony may have been a son or close relative to him?"

So your opening statement about being born Portesham to John Rhudde was speculation ...

What information is there about Anthony Rhudde living in Staffordshire? Where does it come from?

The speculation about the connection with Durande Rhudde is based on spelling alone?

Where do you have the name Anthony Rhudde from at all??

And anything else that might be useful ...

And we cross-posted: "An announcement in the Sherville and Yeovil Mercury 1776 " -- of the marriage of Anthony Rhudde and Mary Wood?

What is your connection with these people??

From:-.
Middlesex Journal and Evening Advertiser (London, England), December 21, 1775 - December 23, 1775

MARRIED - On Thursday at Christ Church Newgate Street, by the Rev. Mr Rhudde of St Thomas's Southwark, Mr Anthony Rhudde, son of the Reverend Mr Rhudde of Dorsetshire to Mrs Wood of Staffordshire.

Ria x

The wealthy Rev. Dr. Durand Rhudde (1735-1819), married Mary Shergold (1738-1811) in 1760 and had a son about whom seemingly nothing is known and two daughters: Marria Elizabeth born August, 22 1761 and Harriet whose birth date is unknown. Dr. Rhudde recieved a Doctorate of Divinity from King's College, Cambridge, and in 1763, he became vicar of St. Thomas, Southwark. According to the May 1819 edition of The Gentleman's Magazine, "Dr. Rhudde was a zealous and conscientious Divine, and throughout the long period of his existence lived much respected and esteemed." He followed in the footsteps of his father John Rhudde (1704-1778), who was vicar of Portesham and Weymouth pictured below in a 1757 mezzotint after (Solomon?) Williams held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London.

From this site:

The name association-There is a pair of portraits - sold as a pair
the write up is as follows.

Rev Durand Rhudde 1733-1819 DD rector of Brantham with East Bergholt Chaplain in ordinary to George 111 and pendant Anthony Rhudde 1738-1816 of Uttoxeter House Staffordshire.

This is why I think there is a family connection.
We are researching Anthony after finding a clasp reading, A Rhudde Uttoxeter, in Uttoxeter... The research is for the town history where the clasp may be displayed.
