Hello, I am the great great great grandson of Martin Rutledge and Mary Anna Cox.
They emigrated to Toronto Canada post famine pre 1860 via Winchester England
Their first born son was Robert Martin Joseph Rutledge born 1855 Winchester and
emigrated to Toronto, and had 4 more children. His Brother was one Thomas Rutledge.
They were Catholic from County Roscommon, Tibohine Parish. Would anyone there know of them?
Hi
Thank you for your message.
I have forwarded your request to a volunteer who may be able to offer some advice or assistance.
Kind regards,

The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Tibohine parish only showed one Rutledge-- a James of Creevy townland. Possibly he is related to Martin.
If your ancestors were Roman Catholic, the Mormon Church has microfilmed the church records for the parish of Lisacull and Loughglynn. Although there are some gaps, baptisms go back to 1817.
You can order the film online www.familysearch.org and have it shipped from Salt Lake City to a Family History Center hopefully near you. You cna view the film at the FHC.
