I am also from a Russell family and it is quite a common name. Do you have details of birth places and children names and ages that would help with finding them in the census

no trace of william then

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 25 Feb 2010 18:44

Puzzled.

Do you have the 1869 death cert as none shown on BMD with the right age

Is he a witness at any marriage to prove when he was still alive as he might not have lived to 1841

thank you well thats strange coincedence ive seconds ago sent pm asking if you could trace a marr for susan

I think this could possibly be her marriage. If William died in 1842 then I think the Jane that Glitter Baby found in 1851 as Rupel could be his wife. I have quite often seen my Russell's written in the same way.
