To all Rudges out there. I have a group on Facebook called the Rudge clan. It's open to all Rudges or even people that wish they were Rudges. With almost 300 Rudges world wide it could be a handy resource for family tree research or just a chance to mingle with people that have the greatest surname in the world. Come have a look..

Did you ever find Albert Rudge? I have an Albert,born in 1886 in Forest of Dean, son of John Rudge and Naomi Saunders. In 1901 he was living in Abersychan, Monmouthshire, Wales. I don't have any other details but our Rudge ancestors also came to Canada in 1911 and settled in Manitoba where many of us still live.

Jean Mary Chappell Weeks nee Kirkland

wba09 — 2010-08-18 05:56:46Z

I hope someone can help on this one as it seems complicated..
My Husbands mother was Jean Mary Chappell at birth in 1925 in Kircudbright Scotland but later adopted by William & Mary Kirkland.
Her birth father was John Chappell who sometimes resided at Linden Gardens, London W2. Her birth mother was Margaret Mary Chapman or Chappell sometime of The Studio, 54 The Strand London. It is believed that her birth mother left for Canada and either married or re-married and had another family. Family stories also say that her birth father killed himself a few years after her birth because of the shame as he was already married, we were also told he was well connected with horse racing. We don't know anything as fact and would love to find out any information we can.

I have no other info and have been searching for a while now with no luck.
I hope someone can help.

William Rudge

derekdaggerevans1 — 2010-08-05 15:28:10Z

I am trying to find out about my grand father William Rudge born about 1888. I can't find a birth record for him. He married a Georgina Dean who was born in the Hampshire area but can't find a marriage record either. They had a daughter Eunice Mary (my mother) who was born in 1918 in Poole, Wiltshire. They then moved to the North Wales area. Any help would be grateful.

Re: Rudge, william arthur douglas.

karenmacnair1 — 2010-07-05 14:56:50Z

I am WAD Rudge's great grand daughter. He was the son of Henry Rudge of Bath. Yes he was a master at Rugby. He was also a physicist at Cambridge where he certainly had Indian friends- the Palme Dutt family. He also worked in South Africa where he may have had Indian friends.

Richard Rudge

pickardduncan — 2010-06-02 19:53:16Z

So I'm pretty confident that i've traced things correctly a ways back to William F Rudge (born in New Jersey in 1866, died in Connecticut in 1949) to his father William Rodney Rudge (born in Hereford? England in 1845, died in Massachusetts (i think) in 1916).

I think his father was Richard Rudge (born in Hereford England in 1808?) and his mother was Ann Hill? (1810?).

But now i'm stuck! I can't find any parent information and i'm not familiar enough with the resources for England. Any tips?

Rudge family in France

DRudge — 2008-02-28 18:42:49Z

Does anyone have information about Rudges living in France (Le Havre, Paris, Nantes)? My branch migrated from England to France (ca. 1840), ultimately winding up in North Carolina, USA. I now have reaason to believe that some of the branch I am following had descendents who remained in France. Here's the URL for my branch: http://homepages.wmich.edu/~rudged/gen/rudge.html

Re: looking for relatives-grandfather came from england

Phryne — 2007-05-25 22:21:18Z

Hi Melody,

I have just found the thread and so thought I would contact this way instead of as previously from Outlook express.

As mentioned I have been researching the Rudge family for sometime and have masses of research notes, census and entries from Parish records.

However even following the tread I cannot put a finger on
where you fit into the line.

Are you able to scan the photo you have and perhaps that may help a little - also your father's name etc and linking back as far as you can go.

I am related to Dan Rudge of Rudge Bikes. My Grandfather was a Rudge from Wolverhampton.

Look forward to hearing from you either here or on Outlook Express.

How do you know the line comes down from Rudge bicycle?
Any clue to help me link.

Thanks for responding. Since posting this message, I've dug up heaps of information on my family through the Free British BMD Index, British census, and a couple other sources. The Rudges of Gloucester are most likely related somewhere in time but I couldn't find a link to your family and mine.

Have your searched the Forest of Dean website (genealogy site for families who lived in that Gloucestershire area) at http://www.forest-of-dean.net ?

Best of luck in your searching!

Re: Rudge in West Bromwich

davesmith115 — 2006-06-20 15:00:40Z

My G3 Grandmother was Mary Rudge who definitely married John Dunshee (of Smethwick) in 1835. According to the 1851 census she was born c1817 in West Bromwich (which would tie her in with the IGI record for Mary Rudge, d of Samuel & Mary Rudge, chr 16/11/1817). However, according to the 1881 census she was born nearer 1815/16 in Smethwick. I'm inclined to believe the former. If you know any more I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Re: John RUDGE emigrated 1886 from Preston to US; wife Ellen; ch Mary & Thomas

JohnHRamer — 2006-05-27 03:19:31Z

All we have as birth place is England or Wales. (In 1910 it is noted as Wales, in 1920 and 1930 it is given as England. Source accuracy is therefore questionable.

The source for John RUDGE's birth date is his naturalization papers.

Birth date of Mary is from her death certificate. However in the 1900 census it is given as June 1880.
