Louden is my mothers maiden name. Her father William Louden (dob 1894?) came out late 1890s from Perth, Scotland. settled northern Victoria, farming. Very likely a relative? Wonderful to see history on welcome wall!

Hello, So pleased to see your message, sorry it took me so long to find it.
Every branch it seems has a William, thankfully, as so few seem to have had a Henry, in Australia that is. I lived in Victoria for 8 school years and even spent some time on a dairy farm. Would love to hear more details from you but not sure how all of this works. I don't have a webpage. They say above that email address is kept private but if you reply to this then perhaps I shall just put it in my next reply.

Sorry my reply took even longer this time. Yes, every branch of every family seems to have a William for whom so many seek. I have not found any other link to Montrose. Unconfirmed info is that their "Scots" ancestor was an engineer who built a bridge in Poland and later perhaps had something to do with a port in Albany of Fremantle. Seems to be a generation or 2 missing. A possible unconfirmed link also with Loudons of Ayrshire. Have you found any more information? Family have a history of various spellings of "Lou/n/w/d/e/o/n" with some of those going to US favouring Louden. Henry and presumably William also visited America. Henry apparently ordered plants from all over the world. I did not know of William until the 1990s. Have you found any more information? Mary Regts

I am a Louden, William (Bill) Louden was my G/G Grandfather.
I have a tree on Ancestry and a public tree on WikiTree which I am building.
The Louden name is from Loudoun, Ayrshire, Scotland. The Loudoun family surname began in 1169 and members of our extended family can now be found throughout the world.
The Louden surname is a Scot name dating before the 11th century. Alternate spellings are: Loudon and the orginal, Loudoun. The Louden's are are sept of the Campbell clan (Campbell of Loudoun) and were known for their fierce defense of Scotland's Lowlands in the 13th and 14th centuries. The Scot patriot, William Wallace, (1273-1305) was the grandson of Sir Hugh Crawford and Margaret Loudoun, and the Wallace Sword was displayed in the Loudoun Castle until the sword was sold at auction in 1930.
I am trying to trace the family back and have got back to the 1500's... Would love help from anyone who has info!
