Sorry this is so late to the list. I finally had a few moments and dug out the following info from my stacks of unfiled stuff. I too descend from the Norfolk Rudds. I have a copy of 'The Complete Book Of Emigrants In Bondage 1614-1775' by Peter Wilson Coldham. It states that the following Rudds camne from England: Rudd, Burlingham of Poringland. S s horse Summer 1728. *Nf. Rudd, John. S Dec 1727. M. Rudd, John. S s linen at Winfarthing Summer 1769. Nf. Rudd, Timothy. S s watches at St. Nicholas, Worcestor, Lent 1767. Wo. Rudd, William. S Mar 1773. De. The abbreviations are: S = Sentenced to transportation s = stealing M = Middlesex Nf = Norfolk De = Devon Wo = Worcestershire * = found guilty of an offence for which transportation was a normal penalty So if I am reading this correctly, my Burlingham Rudd was found guilty of stealing a horse. The sentence was that he was to be transported to the states. Unfortionately, none of the above Rudds had ships that they came over on. I also have the intro part of this book which describes the process by which these folks were sentenced and sent over to the states. I would love to converse with someone and exchange information. Burlingham Rudd is the end of my information, and I would love to get info from England.
