LUNDDAHL, Patricia (nee Peters)

The death occurred suddenly Sunday, September 7, 2008, in Banyuls sur Mer, France, while on holiday with her sister, Virginia; brother-in-law, Jim; brother, Larry; and sister-in-law, Mary. Patricia lived in Skanderborg, Denmark, and is survived by her two daughters, Anne and Eva and their spouses as well as three grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Nils in 2005. Patricia was the eldest daughter of the late Marshall and Laura Peters (nee Cullen) and is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Dorothy, Larry (Mary), Virginia Reynolds (Jim), Greg (Dianne) and Pauline Coady (Mike). Burial will take place in Denmark.

Pat was a long time friend and supporter of the Island Register, and we must pass along our condolences to Anne and Eva, to her brothers and sisters, and to Pat's grandchildren. The news came as a very sad surprise Tuesday morning in the Guardian. Many times since I started the newpaper and the web page, we have lost people who have become friends through the page - it is always hard, but this is one of the worst shocks indeed. Though living far away, and visiting the Island infrequently, Pat never stopped researching her Cullen ancestry, and had a great love for her Island family and friends.

Appendix A - Notes

1. Edward CULLEN

Alexandra, Lot 49.

This lineage is to a great degree based on conjecture, beginning with

names from Marge Reids site mentioning Edwards will, also Johanna as Edwards daughter

Marge Reid's excerpt from Edwards will mentions son John, "each of Richard Reids three eldest daughters, wife Mary, daughter Mary, son William, son-in-law James Finlay"

names of younger children from Bapt. index.

1841 census has Edward, farmer, b. Ireland, wife Mary Butler, he under 45, she over - that might put him at nearly 45, and her abt. 46, and so born abt. 1795-96. Johanna married Richard Reid , one daughter, probably Margaret, married James Finlay

This family is mentioned in the history of Alexandra published in 1964 by the Alexandra WI. Apparently they were "prominent citizens" of the area. Edward and his son John established a lobster factory and ran it for some years.

1S. Mary BUTLER

From bapt. index, also supported by Marge Reid's site.

2. William CULLEN

I want to place him in this family, but the birthdate is a problem - much earlier than the others, unless there were children born in Ireland who died or were left there. Parents are old enough to have had a child in 1824.

Supporting my theory are the following:

Edward Cullen mentions a son, William in his will (on Marge Reid's site), and I haven't found this William anywhere else.

He would have been just 16 at the 1841 census.

A witness at his marriage was John Cullen (his brother?)

His oldest son was named Edward (after his grandfather?)

1881 census has Wm. born 1828 in Ireland, 5 children all born in Ireland, but 1901 says children born on PEI.

William is the closest connection between two Cullen families I have found, as Catherine Landrigan's niece, Frances, married Timothy P.Cullen of Hope River, and was a close friend of her cousin Edward and his wife and family.

2S. Katherine LANDRIGAN

Her monument is in cemetery in Emyvale.

Birthdate from 1901 census

1-2. Marriage of William CULLEN and Katherine LANDRIGAN

Witnesses John Cullen & Margaret Maher.

3. Johanna CULLEN

mentioned in connection with William's will on Marge Reid's site.

4. John CULLEN

Found in family tree, History of Alexandra. Also in In 1901 census, Alexandra, In 1911 Census, Alexandra, John, Sarah, Edward, James, Frederick.

Of the children, none of the boys married, Annie (must be Bridget A?) married a Genther, Mary Ellen m. James Place, Cecilia m. Wm Jackman. acc. to History of Alexandra.

Cecelia is buried in Ch'town RC, dates 1877-1950, with her daughter Noreen Jackman 1914-1953.

4S. Sarah MULLINS

From Master name index: Marriage, John Cullen, Sara Mullins, Sept. 7, 1863, witnesses James Reid, Susan Mullins.

Also in bapt.index.

1-4. Marriage of John CULLEN and Sarah MULLINS

master name index. witnesses James Reid, Susan Mullins

(another confirmation of Reid connection)

One daughter married Finlay, presumed Marg. as Mary is named by herself in will.

7. Edward CULLEN

BIRTH: date from 1881 census, then at home, "Farmer" aged 26 - if this is the right family!

1891 census still at home,aged 32.

In lot 65 in 1901 census with wife Bridget, in 1911 census in Emyvale, wife Bridget, no children. Presumed to be this family because of proximity to lot 31

Cemetary transcript from St Josephs Kelly's Cross says Michael, wife Bridget Malone, both born abt 1855-57, not far from Emyvale, same church as baptism

8S. Bridget MALONE

guess, based on 1901 census, proximity to William in lot 31

All dates names of children from this census, no proof that this is the right family except the name James F in two censuses

Death date from transcript of tombstone

1911 census, mail clerk in Souris, 8 children at home, says born April

He is the farthest from home of any of the Cullens - probably because he was a mail clerk and had to move to where his work was.
