UDEN, OUDEN, OODEN, YOUDEN, EUDEN. All forms of this name (originally pronounced "ooden") will have derived from the name UDEN. The Udens came to England in 1558 and settled in West Kent and East Sussex. They originated in Uden, Brabant in Holland (close outside is the village of Udenhout). Some also settled in Germany (Udenhausen im der Hunsrick - a deer farming community) and Sweden / Scandinavia. Some have also now settled in Australia. Uden's that remained in Holland became Van der Uden and those in Belgium became Van Uden. Typical settlements were New Romney, Hythe (Pennypot Farm), Bekesbourne, Patrixsbourne, Lower and Upper Hardres, Canterbury, Stourmouth, Sturry, Homestall, Margate, Sheldwich, Wickambreaux, Bridge, Barham, Ospringe, Dover etc. Basically if one was to draw a line across Kent from New Romney in the south to Faversham in the East, all areas to the right would include at least one area of settlement for the Udens. They were mainly farm labourers when they came but many soon became skilled and professional workers and Farm bailiffs (hence the wide spread of Udens). If you have any further details to add, or need information please contact me |
