What do you think about this? I think I found this not you guys. Seems odd to me, husband always comes first, is Frederic really Frederica?  With the Rutledge family sharing?  The ages are all over the place if it is our Barretts.  Leonard is said to have been a life long sailor, captain of a ship before he was of full age, 21, just a coincidence isn't it?  But the Georgina fits in well with the Barrett 1850 . census other than age again, are these just errors? or people saying they are older than they are.  We also would have to ask who Ann and Joseph belong too.
1860 US census, Philadelphia.
Ellen Rutledge age 28, female, printer,
Frederik Rutledge age 28, male, (Is this is an error)
Ann Rutledge age 3
Joseph Rutledge age 1
William J Rutledge age 26
 plus
Leonard Barrett age 25, printer
Georgina Barrett age 24
 cheers fred

Am I just dull don't answer that.  Ancestry have Irish census and parish records, but I can't find them when I sign in.  Is it a seperate site where we have to pay again?  Off to try again.  Fred

Yep I was dumb

Angela remembers the name Hugh and him being a shoe maker.  Leonard was probably already a boy sailor

Hello Peter,

Yes, I did see the Rutledge and Barrett 1860 Census earlier but so far haven't come up with any further leads from it.     I also added on the posting (reply 14)  on the next page were 2 more children - George aged 5 years and Wm 10 months.  So the William Rutledge on the 1870 with L D Barrett, Frederica was that particular William.
On reply 42 - Found the first enumeration and  have added the occupations of that Barrett family.

Georgina aged 24 years on the 1860 could be a sister of Leonard rather than Georgina the cousin born in 1842 (Hugh Snr's daughter)   

So far haven't found Frederick, Ellen and children later.

Hugh W Barrett 47 Born PA. Married 3 years. Manager Ice Co.
Lotta Barrett   31 Born PA. Had 1 child.
Dorothy Barrett 1 Born PA

This would seem to be the marriage of Hugh to Lotttie Suehnel in 1897

I went looking at the Irish records, and if they weren't destroyed by fire the the government had them destroyed.  I had almost given up because unless you have a record such as Hugh Barrett from Dublin or Donegal you are chasin rainbows. But I just entered Hugh Barrett into a search of Irish directories and - Hugh Barrett Boot and Shoe maker 12 Christchurch Place, Dublin came up, an 1841 list. 
I know it sounds terrible but as far as keeping records of Irish people leaving Ireland nobody seems to have cared too much.  Coming into the UK millions of records, leaving Ireland next to nothing as far as I can see. If it weren't for the ships lists and immigration lists there would be nothing. I know the parish records are very good in Ireland, but unless your grandfather or somebody else once told you where they came from how do you start.
Once a name is mis-spelt when transcribed from census records you really are struggling aren't you.  That's what's happened in 1860 I think, and Mary Rutledge in 1850?  You guys are as daft as me LOL  I find it a bit of a challenge when things don't go the way you want.  Where the bottle, time for a beer, it is as the song says "5 O'clock somewhere"  I'm not much of a drinker, two beers and I'm anybodies......almost.
