Photograph of Headstone naming Patrick Crudden

This little bit is a tale of two emigrants. When the Elliott stone was being photographed in St McCartan’s graveyard, another small plain grey stone was noticed because it was so different.

It was that of Patrick Crudden, New York, PVT 1 US INF December 9 1937.

His brother Edward whose name is on the family headstone, served as a warder in Sing Sing Prison, New York. Judging by the names on that Headstone, the Samuel Crudden in the Griffiths Valuation 1862 was their father.

In the 1901 Census there is an Anne Crudden. The photograph below is of ? Crudden and was taken outside her house at Arnotts Grove.
