To kingarthur from Bubbles23,
Mary Ann Williams is also my Great-Grandmother, her father was John Williams,and her mother was Eliza Mary Wood.
Mary Ann also had a brother,Thomas Arthur. They both came out by ship with their mother, who was the matron of the single women.
I have other information as well.
Mary Ann wood/ George Pruden (also known as Eugene George)Children:
Letitia Mary Pruden 1865
Gertrude 1868
George Ernest 1870
Albert Thomas 1872

hi all, not a relative, i think! but, i do have a painting by j a pruden. probably done from the desert road somewhere. it was framed by harwoods ltd in 12/1926. seems that the framer went by the surname of watisland? (gender unknown). have seen work by g e pruden and this is very similar in style. i purchased 2 at the same time, the other was signed t a pruden, totally different style, i sold that and kept this one of the mountain with a stream and native bush in the foreground. around 1981 i contacted a person by the name of pruden in the new plymouth, taranaki or wanganui area but they were unable to help. the painting is on canvass, oak frame that seems to be original although the backing seems to have been altered or maybe just deteriorated with time. it could do with a clean but i have never found anyone local that i would trust with it.

have never logged onto a forum like this b4, hope it reaches one of you all. Mike

Hi My grandmothers maiden name was Lillian Winifred PRUDEN she was born in Eltham (Mangatoki) New Zealand on 26 Feb 1901 She married William John Campbell CAVANAGH, Date of death on my records is 15 August 1977. Any information you can supply will be gratefully recieved. Ive not long started researching and thought this site may be a good starting point :)

Karnie, Olive Freda PRUDEN was my great aunty

by anafred on 2014-03-07 20:28:21

Mozzie,

J. A. PRUDEN painting there is a possibility this was done by one of the wife's. I have seen paintings by Lancelots wife which are in very similar style to G. E. Prudens work.
