Madden Surname

Madden is a name originally from somewhere in Galway.They were a minor Gaelic sept known as ó Madhihín.Anglisized as Madden.There was a split and some moved south to Limerick where they changed to ó Madhigáin.(Madigan).I know this because my grandfather was a Madigan from Patrickswell in Limerick.Hope this has been some small help to you.I know myself it is hard to find information about the name on the net. ádh mór ort.

I know family of the name Madden, i grew up with them, their parents originated from Ireland i could ask if u like x

The Maddens originated from Co Galway and to this day there are many Madden families residing there. My own family own our original family land in Portumna co Galway. Maddens held what was known as a seat in the Galway area meaning that they held a position of authority.The O'Maddens were a branch of Uí Maine of East Galway whose territory crossed the Shannon into Offaly. Their chief was the recognised lord of the area for centuries. The Madden Motto is "With Chirst I will conquer", and "Propria virtute audax" - "Daring in the cause of virtue". Madden and O'Madden are both Irish patronymic names, Anglicized from the Gaelic O Madaidhin , which meant 'descendant of Madaidhin' whose name was derived from madadh = hound, mastiff. The name also means "Small Dog". Anyway - We Maddens are alive and well, hope this helps.

I am looking for traces of Madden ancestors.

I am a 3rd great grand-dughter of one Bernard Madden, born c 1807. My 3rd Great Grandfather married a woman called Rose (Coler?), born c 1812.

My 3rd GGM Rose immigrated to Australia on the "James Baines" in 1854 from Liverpool. My 2nd GGM and her two brothers were also on the Clipper, when it left Liverpool.

Where did these ancestors of mine come from before embarking at Liverpool?

Can anyone help?

There is a hamlet called Madden, northwest of Calgary, Alberta named after an early and prominent rancher called Bernard Madden who arrived in the area in 1876.

where are you from Stephen Madden? I have been doing some research into it and have only found minimal information

I have been trying to find where my great-grandfather came from in Ireland. His name was John Madden and I believe he came over around 1848 and settled in Toledo Ohio. He married Bridget McDonough in 1852, also from Ireland. The family has been trying for years to locate the county in Ireland but so far no luck. I did locate a death certificate of a Madden in Toledo which said his father was born in County Mead (which I believe they meant Meath) but looking at parrish records for 1801 in Meath there is only 1 Madden and that is a widow. My grandmother thought Galway but we have no evidence that supports that.

Hi Joanne, I also am looking for Bernard Madden..I can help with their county home, it was Longford and Bernard married Rose O'Donnell and had 8 children, the three you listed above did re-unite with the convict Bernard in Tasmania..he was actually tried in west meath...i have his convict details if you're interested..

sorry i didn't make it plain that their origins are longford, Ireland...not longford, tasmania...

Hiya, my name is hannah madden my grandad was called robert madden and my great grandfather was called peter madden. My family live in scotland.My granddad didnt like being associated with irish because there was alot of hatred towards them by the scottish. I love being desended from ireland and hope to trace back more family members.

I have been told that all the Maddens in around Limerick are descended from one man.A John Madden who came down from Galway in the mid 17th century,This was during the building of the canals.He settled in an area by Plassy House, now the site of the university of limerick.I believe he had 14 sons.
Glenamaddy(the glen of the Maddens) in county Galway I think is the area where the Maddens came from.

I am looking for my family John madden from county Meath born around 1837 married a women named Mary moved to Liverpool about 1950's had a daughter called Catherine who married a Joseph Hickey any help is grateful thanks

Hi All!

I am David Madden and I am in the UK. Until recently we knew very little about our family history, apart from the fact that my father and his parents were in the London area. Dad (Paul) has managed to get back through to the Census so far and it appears the family line is still in that sort of area - however not all of the data through the line ties in. It's interesting to find other Madden's who find that information isn't that easy to locate! smiling smiley

It appears that we've hit a bit of a wall at the 1841 census where we have Daniel Madden who apparently married Elizabeth (possibly Elizabeth Houson). If anyone has anything lining up with Lambeth or the London area we'd be very interested to know! I am sincerely hoping to find a line back to Ireland somewhere along the way!

David.

hi Shirley.
I have only just started trying to find out about my ancestors,with not much luck.Its not as easy as i thought it would be.
just read your post,about there only being one Madden in meath.Thats not correct because my Grandparents,BRIAN and ELIZABETH came from Naven in meath in the 1930's.They had children,called PATRICK(my father),BERNARD,BRIGETTE,ROSE,MICHEAL.
some of whom are still in ireland,in DUNDALK .
Hope this as helped.

To Joanne re Bernard Madden,County Longford. Bernard was tried for sheep stealing at Westmeath April 1848, sentenced to seven years, transported to Tasmania per "Blemheim" arriving 31st October 1851. Bernard spent two years in gaol or on a hulk moored in the Thames before being transported. (Have more if you want it)Rose Madden wife of Bernard made an appeal on 17th October 1850. Bernard was age 40 Rose arrived in Tasmania with three children (as you say) Daniel, Peter and Rose. Rose senior stated they had 8 chidren so five ust have been left back in Ireland. Bernard and Rose are my wifes maternal g,g,grandparents. My wifes mothers maiden name was Ford, and her story was a Thomas Ford/Forth a convict sentenced to seven years in 1821 for horse stealing ( the family story was he stole the rope and the horse was on the other end)popular story by many. Wifs father was a Thomas Henry Ford also his father was Henry Thomas Ford who I believe married Bernards daughter Rose, Have not found marriage certificate, clues are Henry had a son named Daniel,Wifes mother had a step sister named Rose father Thomas Henry

Hi, my grandfather was called Peter Madden,he was born in Belfast, Ireland, he lived in Canada for a short time as far as I know before coming home and getting married to my grandmother (Rosaleen Phoenix).

Anyone with any information about any of the above mentioned people please get in touch.

He married a Mary Sutherland and they lived in central Scotland. They had four children, Connie Madden (Now McGovern, Terry Madden (now Goldie), Marian Madden (now Duffy) and my father, Kevan Madden who was born 1968.

Patrick owned a large farm in Iowa.Patrick married Ann McManus, daughter of Dorothea Montgomery of Enniskillen. William Joseph and Patrick Michael moved to Oregon in about 1919.

Hi..to all those searching for bernard madden, convict to tasmania from ireland, just an update of further info re their roots, I have found they hail from west meath (bordering Longford) their church was in tubberclare and bernard married Rose Cole/Coleo different spellings on the birth certificates of four of the children baptised at tubberclare RC church..interesting to note that the sheep he stole belonged to ned coles (maybe turned in by the wife's relatives), if anyone is interested in maddens and they know where they originated from google irish family history foundation, you can search for free but if you want to view it costs, however it's a very comprehensive site for irish records..I now know the names of three of the children left behind if anyone's interested...Irene

I'm a Madden from Dublin. My Dad was originally from Co. Roscommon though. Not too sure about any further back than that, but his people seem to be scattered around the West a lot; Galway, Mayo, and Roscommon.

My name is Bernard Maddden and i live in Galway Ireland .My father was Martin Madden (14.1.1914 - 20.10.2007) He had 2 brothers Dannie who emigrated to USA New York, in 1927 and lived to be 100 years.His other brother John lived in Meath and died a bachelor without issue. Their father was Brian Madden and died in 1937 from a septic ulcer.He had during his life travelled over and back to the USA on a number of occasions mainly to New York and also to Butte in Montana as had his father before him. His name was Daniel and i have seen a photo of him driving a team of horses pulling a huge wheat harvestinbg machine on the plains of Montana circa 1870. I have a lot of cousins in the USA , mostly in new york , Brian , Michael, DANNY,FRANK. IF you google me you will see my contact details as i am a Senior Counsel in IRELAND.We are originally from near Glenamaddy CO. GALWAY.

This would be for Nancy from Sussex,New Brunswick,Canada, My Great -Great Grandfather was John
Sylvester Madden , who was born in Galway, on Feb 29th,1833. He married a Lady ,my Great Great Grandmother, Bridget Gallagher, who was born in Donegal Settlement, which is now called Irishtown,in Westmoreland County.(MONCTON,N cool smiley

They had 10 children, my Grandfather,was the second eldest male. John Louis
Madden. Their were three brothers who came across the gulf in a sea of foam. Two brothers stayed in New Brunswick, in the Studholme,kings county,area.
Today it's close to Doherty hill and Poley Mountain.
The area is know as Waterford, and not far from there
another area called Madden's Flatts.They were hard workers,cutting wood,clearing stumps,raising Mink. They saved enough to buy a farm in Smith's Creek.

My Quest is this, I can't find out where John Slyvester Madden was born. I have had zero success,I've been to the National Archives in Dublin,I have been to Galway, no irish luck yet.

Land grants:
Patrick buys 100 acres in 1858,(Waterford,nb)
In 1862 DanielMadden (WATERFord,nb) got 100 acres,In 1873,my Great Grand Father John Slyvester Madden, 91 acres (WATERFORD,nb)
These are the three brothers,

Gallaghers.

They were from Ireland, Francis was born in IRELAND, 1820, his wife Mary was born in 1825 in Ireland. They had seven children, Mary,jane,dennis,francis junior,rosa,bridget and margaret.

I know that Bridget Gallagher was born in Canada, from my Great Aunt Sarah A Maddens Birth Certificate.

John Slyvester Madden and Bridget Gallagher were married in Moncton,NB, on November 24th,1859.

So if this helps anyone else out their please get back to me. I'm willing to do random acts of kindness
if someone from Ireland will do the same.

I am also having no luck! My ancestor was Patrick Joseph Madden, born about 1871. He was a constable in the Royal Irish Constabulary and married Mary Ann Garvey of Dundalk, Co. Louth. They were married in Belfast (where he was posted at the time) in 1903. He was originally from somewhere in Co. Galway (per his RIC enlistment). I know he had siblings but do not know their names. Also don't know where in Galway he was born. Hope to find descendants of Patrick's siblings who are researching common ancestors.

It almost seems as though Madden ancestors don't want to be found as records of their existence are so hard to find!

Thanks for any help.

My gggrandfather was a Francis Madden (b. about 1828 and died 1892) who immigrated to the US around 1849 from Galway. I am interested to find out where exactly his family came from. His parents were George and Mary (O'Brien). They may have been from Roscommon but we have no proof. Francis Madden settled in Kingston, NY where he married Catherine Diamond. He was a contractor and owned stone quarries. His three children were George, Mary and Jane. I am descended from Mary, who married Stephen Conwell in 1905. She was born about 1870 and died 1925.

To Patrick Madden

I tried your e-mail but wouldn't work. I believe that John Sylvester was born in Ireland. Check the 1851 New Brunswick census. Also according to Harry Madden, John's grandson he was born in believes in or around Galway. It sounds like your grandfather and Harry's father Frank were brother's. We thought that John had moved out of New Brusnwick as he is not listed on the 1911 New Brunswick census.

Nancy
(e-mail nancy.madden@nbed.nb.ca)

Need help. The story does John Madden born Ireland (don't know where or when) married in Ireland then(don't know to whom or when) for some unknown reason emigrated to Australia where he married(no proof found) Mary Ellen Humphries and father two sons before passing away in 1905.
According to letter written by Mary they married in Melbourne Australia but it was not legal because she found out that his wife back in Ireland was alive not deceased as she believed.
I don't expect anyone to be able to respond to this little story but stranger things have happened.
Only today after many years of searching have we found out Great Grandfathers name "JOHN"and the year of his death from a letter obtained through "Freedom of Information".
Thanks for taking the time to read my story

Hi,
I am looking for the location of my family roots in Galway. I have a great-uncle Martin who had a farm that my parents visited when they were living in the 1960's(I believe). He was alive and well then but since my parents are both dead now and would be in the 90's if still alive, I am sure that Uncle Martin must be deceased. I would love to know where that farm was so that my husband and I could visit it when we are in Ireland in Oct. 2010. I would at least like to know where in the county of Galway the family was from.

So crazy to think that somewhere along the line all of us Maddens are related, Best sirname ever.

Relatives in Toronto, Ontario are tying together family tree. Any Maddens living in UK related to the Madden family from Glasgow, Scotland. William John Madden (originally from Galway, born around 1879) married Annie McPherson (born 1899) from Scotland in Glasgow. They lived in Glasgow and had one son Charles Mcpherson Madden, born 1920, who married Elizabeth Townsley and they had 3 daughters and 3 sons. Contact nell.hamilton@rocketmail.com -Thanks.

In response to Shellie from Western Australia. My grandfather was Keith Madden and his father was John Madden. I think my granfather grew up in South Australia. There was some issues regarding the birth od my grandfather and I am wondering if it relates to your information of John's first wife still being alive when he remarried. Interesting!! If you have any more information i would love to hear from you. cheers Lisa

Hi all, I live in Liverpool, i was wandering, does anyone know how many maddens are left in liverpool, and when the first maddens left ireland for the U.K. Also, how many maddens are chatholic and how many protestant, this particular family in liverpool are protestant,it would be interesting to see who is which.

The Madden name originates with an Ulster prince- Maduadhan Mac Hugh, who reigned in south Antrim in the early 10th Century. Details of this can be found in the Annals of Ulster (CELT website has full text). A second prince of the name was deposed arounf AD 924, and fled to Ui Maine, Galway, where he married a Kelly princess and founded the southern line. The Madden's of Ulster seem to be descended from the first of the name, and still hail from South Antrim, mostly around Toomebridge.The sept was indeed minor in the south, but descended from Dal Riada chiefs, nevertheless.

I am from Missouri and I am trying to find information on my Grandfathers family. I understand that the family originated in Ireland, however I have not been able to track our lineage back any further than my Great Grandfather.
Grand fathers name was Nicholas James Madden born in 1921, married Violet Headrick. Great Grand fathers name was also Nicholas James Madden, married Jocie Waller.
If anyone has any information further back it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

John Madden from South Carolina-you and I are on the same track. I found that John who married Katherin was baptized in Dublin July 20, 1685 at St. Catherine's, his parents were John and Mary Madden. Pls contact me at macalugirl@yahoo.com

Good Morning All!

I am searching for information in regards to my Grandmother, Edith Madden (later Pryce) that arrived in the US from Colon, Panama in 1918. She passed away when my father was a toddler (1932). Her father was James Alexander Madden. On the Ellis Island website's ships manifest it says that her mother's name was Helma Ferrin however on her marriage and death certificates it says that her mother's name was Margaret Murray. It also says that she was coming to stay with her brother in law, Daniel Williams in Brooklyn. In addition, on the Ellis Island site it states that she was born in Port Antonio, Jamaica. On her marriage and death certificates it states that she was born in the Canal Zone. Crazy confusing! She had one brother that I am aware of (Clifford) but he passed away in the early 1980's. If anyone has any information that can possibly help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I am Jackie nee Madden. My dad Bernard Cox Madden was from Dundee (born 1912 - died 1997). He was very elusive about his family. I believe he was the youngest of 7 brothers. The family were involved in the jute industry. Dad moved to Coventry about 1956. Is there anyone out there that I may be related to ? I have no names, dates etc to even start a search.Thanks in anticipation.

I am from north east galway. Names Daniel, Bernard, John and Martin have run in every generation. My grand uncle Martin Madden married Mary Madden in Plains Montana in 1915. Kilkerrin co Galway was the home of my ancestors for 200 years. I have distant relations in uk, New Zealand and usa.

As I understand things G/dad came out from county Cork (not sure, family rifts n all, aah what it is to be Irish haha).

Rumor has it that our history was destroyed in battle that destryed the family church and all records therein, County Cork.
Cheers all, Bruce.

Hi,

I am a Madden descended from John Madden born 1810 in county Galway. John emigrated to the US in 1834, and then brought his fiancee Cecelia Dwyer over. They settled in West Virginia. His parents were William Madden & Mary Brennan. He came from the parish of "Kiltormer by the gates of big Bellview" according to some records I have.

Around Kiltormer, a bit west of Laurencetown in Galway there is actually a town called Maddenstown.

I've hit deadends on getting more info on William & his parents.

Hi Irene,

I am interested in what you have to say about Bernard being from the Meath / Longford area. The "cencis" records that are still in existance regarding land, show a Bernard Madden along with some others in Co Meath, but also that there are records of him in Co Longford. So Rose's family "did him in"? The plot thickens.

I am still trying to prove that Kathleen Avivian Ford, born in Fingal, Tasmania was born to Henry Ford and Rose Ford, nee Madden (Bernard Madden's line). The registry records in Australia commence in Tasmania for Kathleen Avivan's birth, her marriage in South Australia, and her death in Victoria.

I can find a few descendents of Bernard's children in Australia, commencing with Tasmanian records. In the Victorian cemetary that my GGF David Melville Fletcher is burried, there is a Henry Ford, but I have not proven the link to Bernard Madden or Kathleen Avivian Ford.

Can you please Email me at joannef@spin.net.au ?

Hi Jackie,in reply to you looking for your father ,i may have some information for you.If you can give me an e mail address i will get back to you .

On K.A. Ford's birth certificate (Fingal, Tasmania 1873) it is stated that her parents are Henry Ford and Rose Ford (Madden).

On her marriage certificate (Melrose South Australia) her father is listed as Henry Thomas Ford. Can anyone help with this issue of her parents? I have the feeling that Kathleen Avivian was born out of wedlock and that Henry Thomas Ford, her father was actually Henry Thomas Ford (1843/44-? and Rose Madden or some other woman?)

It would be appreciated if this issue could be sorted out.

Hello,
My GGG Grandfather was Morgan Madden who was transported as a convict to Australia in 1840 on the King William.
Morgan was the son of John(don't know mother) and came from Old Leighlin/LeighlinbridgeCo. Carlow.Morgan's wife was Mary Delaney but I do not know what happened to her.At the time of his trial the appeal papers stated he was convicted with his son in law and had a wife,son and three daughters.
Morgan was transported to Moreton Bay and received his ticket of leave in 1845 and Certificate of freedom in 1850.
Three of Morgan's children Thomas,Mary and Ellen emigrated to Australia on the Garland in 1851 and joined their father. At that tome Morgan was living with W G(George) Alcock,a local policeman, at Casino(Richmond River), New South Wales.
Another daughter,Elizabeth(Brown), emigrated on the Commodore Perry to join the rest of the family in 1856.She was associated by her son John Brown. John's father is given as William on the shipping records and BDM records but I am unable to trace what happened to him'
Can any body add to any of this story please

My grandad john madden (jack) family come from irland and apparntly most of this family moved to the usa thats all i know really. I wounder if i was some how related to john madden NFL but could not find any more information on him.

hi my name's Chris Madden. i'm twenty years old and was born and raised in the Manchester, UK. i was wondering if anyone had any information on a William Madden who is my granddad whom i have never met. he was originally from Tottenham, England and emigrated to Australia along with his wife (my gran) and his son (my father) around 1966 to the Melbourne area. My father and grandmother voyaged back to the UK approximately ten years later, soon to be followed by my grandfather William, but he never returned. my father has not heard from him since, he has tried to find out what happened to him but to no avail.

i am writing on behalf of my father, who i would say is too proud to want to find out about his estranged father, believing it to be down to my grandfather secretly having another family over there. Therefore i am writing to find out information on him through curiosity of mine as his grandchild, but also for my farther who i believe has a right to know.

Any information on his whereabouts or subsequently any family over in Australia would be much apprieciated. if your father/grandfather/great-grandfather was named William and this story seems to make sense to you, please don't hesitate to contact me @ c.madden8562@student.leedsmet.ac.uk

thank you

My name is Michael Madden. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My father's name is John Madden. He was born in Balley Porine, County Tipperary, Ireland, Sept.2, 1926. His father, Michael Madden, married Julia Kenneally. Michael Madden had three siblings: John Madden, Patrick Madden, Alice Madden. Apparently my grandfather's brother, John Madden, married Mary Hoale.

My grandparents, Michael Madden and Julia Kenneally, left on May 18, 1930, from Queenstown, County Cork, and landed in Quebec City, May 26, 1930. By train they travelled to Montreal, stayed two days, and then left for Winnipeg, Manitoba, also by train. They stayed in Winnipeg for one month and then went on to Aaron, Saskatchewan.

Any leads are appreciated. Contact me at m2rb87@gmail.com

Thanks.

Hi, My family of MADDEN's all lived in Dublin during the early 19th century. They were a protestant family, most of them were in the weaving trade, although some were barbers. Several migrated to England in the 1840's and 1850's, around the time of the potato famine. Most of them settled in Manchester and Liverpool, a couple later went to Canada.

Would like to hear from anyone who might be related to any of the following names, some quite distinctive; from the period 1800-1900:

James Madden, Dublin
Michael Madden, Dublin
Matthew Madden, Dublin
Robert Alfred Madden, Dublin/Liverpool/Manchester
James Ellis Madden, Dublin/Liverpool/Manchester
William Ellis Madden, Dublin/Manchester
Lodge Madden, Dublin/Liverpool/Northwich
Alfred Lodge Madden, Liverpool
Robert Frankfort Madden, Liverpool
Matthew George Madden, Dublin/Liverpool/Manchester
Albert George Madden, Manchester
Ernest Arthur Madden, Manchester
Hannah Maria Madden (Rottier), Dublin/London/Toronto
Arthur George Madden, Liverpool/Northwich/Quebec

I have carried out extensive research on the Madden family name in Dublin city, and have a lot of information on them from the period 1800-1850. Nearly all of this is protestent, I have very little on catholic Maddens. If anyone requires assistance on tracing protestant Maddens in Dublin I would be more than happy to help.

davidallenmadden@btinternet.com

Thanks for looking and good luck with your own research.

My greatgreat grandfather was Stephen Patrick Collett Madden. His only son was (Henry) Patrick Collett Madden born 1851 ? in Calcutta India. He migrated to New Zealand and married Mary Mannix from Limerick in 1874. They were my fathers grandparents. My father's name was Patrick Collett Daly. He had a brother Stephen so Stephe, Patrick and Collett seem to be family names. Does anyone know where this branch of the Naddens came from?

Justine Goodyer living in Dublin January 2012

My g-grandmother came over from corcaigh to London for work in service in early 1900s. The name is popular in the county including a Madden who was a famous lord mayor of the city (after who I was named). He was hugely influential in the formation of GAA before independence. Across the border in Lismore there is a good place to eat and drink called Madden's Bar.
