Hi Scardoo - I see your thread was moved from my own.
I know of family directly descended (my boyfriends) from the Irish Cardoo family who moved to Scotland. They were from County Tyone. I've not much info in Ireland but plenty for Scotland.
I can't find them on the Irish Civil Records as much as I've tried!
These look to be like yours may be closely related to mine at least.
My earliest Cardoo so far is a Jane Cardoo born circa 1833 in Ireland and died 1899 in Coatbridge, Scotland. There's mention of Rutherglen in some records of her children. She married a Robert Gray (also Irish) in Co.Tyrone, Ireland around 1856. Her parents were William Cardoo born Ireland, a farm labourer and Mary.
I believe she could have also been born in Co.Tyrone around Dungannon, Minterburn.. maybe.
