Joseph Rudden was born on 27th August 1879 in Cavan and was killed in action at Beaumont Hamel in the Battle of the Somme in France on 13th November 1916. He was a brother of my grandmother, Mary Brady, nee Rudden. Can anyone among the Rudden clan help me with further information on this particular branch of the Rudden clan?
