There are records in the National Archives in Kew, London. This is the general info on Excise records http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/excise-and-inland-revenue-officers/ If you search on Thomas Rutledge in the catalogue there is a reference to a Thomas Rutledge in 'Entry papers for excise men'.

I have a Thomas Rutledge born c1828 in Tyrone that I am trying to prove was married in Fermanagh in 1861 to Jane Palmer. His occupation at the time was Excise Officer. I have found him in 1861 in Argyll, Scotland as an officer of the Inland revenue, he then returned to Ireland to marry and then went back to Argyll where his first child was born, his second child was born in Londonderry in 1864 and I found in an Irish newspapers where he may have been transferred to Glasgow in 1867. From there I lose track of him but on an Ancstry.com tree it states he died in 1872 in Ballina which I believe is in Mayo. Any information on where to look for records of excise men would be appreciated.
