We think Edwin RULE was born Aug.25 1827. He arrived in South Australia via the "Lady Bruce" in 1846. His step-brother, Thomas Francis RULE went to Shullsburg, Wisconsin, USA and an Edwin RULE was born there June 27 1848 and apparently a grandson, son of a Carrie, Edwin WEBB born April 7 1912. Anyone out there related to this RULE family or with knowledge of them before or after this information?

Hi Jim I thought I had these, but some of the details are wrong. I have an Edwin RULE, but baptised on 2 Apr 1826 at Illogan. He is one of six children, all baptised at Illogan, of John RULE and Susanna MILL who married at Illogan on 13 Dec 1817. John RULE was buried at Illogan on 29 June 1828 (aged 38). Susanna then married James FRANCIS on 22 Oct 1829 at Kenwyn. They had one son, Thomas FRANCIS, baptised 3 Jan 1832 at Chacewater. Obviously he is not "Thomas Francis RULE" so I'm not sure if this is the right family as yours, but the details seem promising. (Actually, Thomas FRANCIS is obviously the half-brother, not stepbrother, of Edwin here. Stepbrothers wouldn't be expected to have the same surname, would they? Just a thought....) Susanna FRANCIS and her son Thomas FRANCIS are at Illogan in 1851 - so Thomas cannot be in Wisconsin, unless he went back to Cornwall. And the census shows him as unmarried. I can't find him in 1861. So, interesting, but they are probably not yours! I can't find any baptisms for Edwin RULE or Thomas Francis RULE that fit.

Hi Listers, My grandmother, Emily Kemp, had a younger sister, Elsie born Stithians 1894. Elsie married a Leonard RULE, no details, they had 3 children: Cora, Audrey & Cyril. I have no dates so do not know in which order they came! Anyone know this family, I would love to get in touch. John.
