Paddy 1776

 Arms as claimed for Edward Paddy by Edward Henry Bath.

Paddy

               The origins of the Paddy family are at this time unknown, but many are to be found in the Falmouth area in the 18th century. The low incidence of this surname in the 1901 census may indicate they were all of the same extended family. According to "Burkes General Armoury" the arms above were granted in 1591 to Nicolas Paddy, Lancaster Herald for Elizabeth I. No evidence has yet been found of a connection to Edward Paddy of Falmouth.

               What follows outlines the family of Elizabeth Paddy, who married Henry Bath of Rose Hill at Falmouth in 1796. Difficulties arise due to the birth within a year of two Joanna (Johanna) Paddys and the existence of at least three Edward Paddys in the Falmouth area during this time period. However, all evidence suggests the validity of this family grouping and is supported by this entry in the account of Edward Henry Bath :  " Then follows a page being the frontispiece and family entries of the family bible of "Edward Paddy and Mary his wife were married December 26th. 1771" and thereon is recorded the births of seven children to them between 1772 and 1785; the death of Edward and Mary Paddy, "who bequeathed this unto Henry Bath (Eldest son of Elizabeth Paddy)","
