Removal orders
If you did not receive a Settlement Certificate, one of two things could happen. You could stay if your original parish ("parish of settlement") agreed to pay a fee, usually quarterly, to sustain you in your new parish. If not, you would receive a Removal Order, sometimes accompanied by a written pass to the parish of settlement showing the route you must follow. Your parish of settlement was obliged to take you back.
Removal Orders would often take a person or a family back to a place of settlement miles across the country, sometimes to a parish they had only known briefly as a small child. It was rare for a husband and wife to have their children taken from them, each going to separate scattered parishes. Children under seven were rarely removed to a different place from their natural parents as they would have had to gain a settlement of their own to be removed somewhere other than their father's place of settlement.
The place of settlement for illegitimate babies and children was usually their place of birth, and this sometimes resulted in them removal from their mothers in the 18th century if the child was not born in the mother's place of settlement. An agreement was sometimes made between the overseers of the child's place of settlement and the overseers of the parish where it was living so that it could be maintained by the former whilst living in the latter. Children whose mother had remarried a man with a different place of settlement from their father could be removed away from their mother as they would retain their father's settlement, but again agreements could be made between parishes as with illegitimate children above.
As part of the parish records, Overseers accounts may show expenses incurred by the parish in ascertaining a pauper's legal place of settlement. The accounts of parish constables may also list expenses made in removing individuals to another location. Overseers records will often include removal orders, settlement certificates and other related papers

Hi Thelma
This is the one I am looking for. I am now hoping that some gossip has been handed down through the family regarding his quick departure. Thank you.

Input John Ruffles 1794 Suffolk on google, there are quite a few references. Most seem to say born Shotley, Suffolk but if you look into each you might find some further detail.
Also try on here under Search at the top right of this page, then search all trees to see if any other members are researching the family. You can then contact them.

HI There
Is there anyone out there who could shed some light on why the above John Ruffles left(under a cloud) Westhorpe with a Mr Goer and was taken to Birmingham. I do have a copy of a letter sent to his parents from Birmingham dated 1816 asking to be allowed to return home.
Any Suffolk Ruffles's out there that could fill in the story for me.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Maria Ruffles Sansoni. Birmingham.
