I have had two Carden enquiries. A lady who saw my name on a Liverpool list wrote to say
she was looking into her mother's family history, her mother being Ann Carden, born
1926. This was simple to sort out as I discovered her mother was first cousin to my
husband Fred, her parents being John Carden, born 1888 who married Mary Crummey. I was
able to give her the family history (as far as we know it) back to Thomas Carden and
Bridget Swift from Co. Mayo who married in Liverpool in 1833.
The second enquiry was from a gentleman who I suspect may live in the USA. He saw my
name on a Co. Mayo list. I give below the information he sent me and would be most
grateful for any help at all with this one.
"Timothy Carden also known as Thaddeus (according to Griffith validation) was born in
Ireland County Mayo around 1821. He later married Ann Missett around 1844. I have no
information on Timothy but on Ann I have the following: Ann Missett daughter of John
Missett and Mary Burke (Bourke). Mary Burke was born August 10, 1796 in Templemary Co.
Mayo.
Timothy and Ann had a son John Carden born around 1847. They also had a daughter Mary
Carden born around 1848. I have no records for either birth.
According to the Richard Cobden Ships Manifest they left from Liverpool, England, with two
children, and arrived in New York March 7, 1847. They boarded the vessel DEC 1846. John
died from the measles on Feb 21, 1849 aged 2. "
This is the second time I have come across the name "Missett". I have a
Catherine Carden who married a Richard Missett in Liverpool in 1849. Just coincidence?
Great job done by Chuck and Beth with their census information. Who knows, one day we
may find a link to you.
Best wishes to all,
