This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYC.2ACE/2904 Message Board Post: I hope I haven't come to the end of the research into my Family Tree but I can't seem to find much on them or even confirm for sure that they came from Ireland, but the Family Legends & Census Records do say Ireland. My Great-Great Great Grandfather, Thomas Rutledge married Jane Thomson (Thompson) who was suppose to be the cousin of Lord Kelvin. They had my Great-Great Grandfather Robert Rutledge who married Ellen Elliot (daughter of Robert Elliott and Elizabeth Graham). They all apparently moved to Canada sometime before 1851 because I have the Elliott Family on that Census. Does anyone know how I can find out birthdates, etc and confirm that they did really come from Ireland?
