Looking for LOUDON from New Zealand, Ireland and Scotland

Aloha,

I am looking for any info on my Loudon side of the family.

We are spelt this way but have found possible entrys for LOUDEN and LOWDEN.

I can trace them back to Co. Mayo to William Corbet/Corbett LOUDON - his father Charles LOUDEN and his fathar John LOUDEN but there the line stops.

I heard a story growing up that there were two brothers and they were in Scotland and parted company. One stayed in Scotland and the other went to Ireland. I am looking for either sides of the family to trace further back.

John LOUDON was from Ballina, Co Mayo - he was a Yeoman there.

Charles LOUDEN/LOUDON married Elizabeth Charlotte CORBET/CORBETT which I am also interested in finding. I think they married in Cork.

Thanks very much. Aloha Meg :-)

Looking for any info on WHITEFORDS that came to New Zealand

Aloha,

I am looking for any info about Charles Frederick Alexander WHITEFORD. He came out to New Zealand in the 1800's - possibly from Scotland. He married Mary Jane LANYON who's family had come out from Cornwall in 1874 and they had my Grandmother Leonie SANDERS.

I am hitting a brick wall in regards to my Grandmothers siblings and that line, even my Grandmothers full name.

I'm also hitting a wall in regards to Charles family, where did he come from, who were his siblings, his parents etc.

I believe he had a sister with a name/nickname like Harlan that married an American.

Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

Meg :-)
