Since the general population did not know how to read or write, they could only specify how their names should be recorded orally. Research into the name Ardle revealed spelling variations, including Cardle, McCardle, Cardell, McCardel, McCardell and others. Early Notables of the Ardle familyNotable amongst the family name at this time was - William Cardle, Mayor of Dublin in 1592

A great mass of Ireland's native population left the island in the 19th century, seeking relief from various forms of social, religious, and economic discrimination. This Irish exodus was primarily to North America. If the migrants survived the long ocean journey, many unfortunately would find more discrimination in the colonies of British North America and the fledgling United States of America. These newly arrived Irish were, however, wanted as a cheap source of labor for the many large agricultural and industrial projects that were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest nations in the western world.
