Information from Brian Mac Domhnaill of Ireland
Well Susan, my interest is in the Crudden family generally and i was interested to see that your mother’s aunt had the same pet name as the writer, Mamie Crudden who continued to live and write from her Fermanagh home (in Clones parish) in the early decades of the 20th century. Have you any idea how Charles Crudden married to Jane Dixon on 19 January 1851 and reckon this must be your James. Unfortunately no townland is given for James, so they may have lived in Clones town. I’d be very interested in any information you might have about the family’s emigration to America.
All the best
Brian

Well, you are actually a cousin of my wife who is descended from Catherine Crudden of Killyliffer (in Clones Parish) who is most likely (and we have still to confirm the connection) a cousin to Charles. That means, of course, that you are probably a cousin to my children, so I am delighted to make your acquaintance. Sunny it may be in Florida, but it’s a damp, drizzly, grey day here in the Emerald Isle!
All the best
Brian
