In response to Carole and her quest for the Woodend family. Carole, I am
sure you have found Robert Woodend marrying Eliza Jane Nelson in the
First Garvagh Presbyterian Church records on the Bann Valley site. There
is a paucity of information about Woodend's anywhere. The IGI soundex's
the name to Wooden for any search in Ireland. This may be appropriate as
the name may have been converted/subverted over the years and "ears to
hand" (who among us has not misheard a word). Robert and Eliza went to
Scotland with the rest of Eliza's family. Even so, there is still very
little information about Woodend/Wooden to be found in the generously
transcribed lists on the BannValley site.
Searching the IGI for an "exact spelling" for Woodend brings up an
interesting entry for Agnes Neilson Woodend, Dumfries, Scotland. Plus
there is are two Alexander Woodend's from Londonderry. There is a John
Woodend who married a Sarah Stratten in Errigal, Londonderry in 1845;
Margaret Jane b. 1876, Coleraine; Rebecca, 1867, Ahagadowey and I did
trace one Woodend as far away as Dublin. The name most strongly appears
in Cumberland and Lancashire, England. There are a few others and I am
sure that the Derry ones are probably related to each other. These
examples are all extractions and not patron submissions. Keep in mind
that much of Ulster was populated with families that migrated from
Scotland and England, who in turn moved back to their homelands, or out
into the world, in search of work and sustenance when the famine struck
and later when the need for work drove them to move about. Please don't
hesitate to contact me off list if I can provide you with more information.
