RUTLEDGE ARDMORE IRELAND
I am seeking information on my family which I have traced back to Ardmore, County Waterford, Ireland.The first Rutledge of my family to arrive in Australia was Henry.He and his brother Daniel were assisted immigrants under the Bounty Immigration Scheme.They travelled to Australia on the Earl Grey out of Plymouth in October 1840, arriving in Botany Bay in February 1840.
According to the Immigration records they were natives of Ardmore, County Waterford, Ireland.Henry was a 22 year old Farm Overseer and his brother was a 28 year old Farm Labourer.Their father was Simon Rutledge, a farmer, and their mother was Ailie.
I'd love to hear from anyone who couldhelp trace my family heritage in Ireland.
Regards
Allen Rutledge
