Find Ancestors

Hi.
I'am trying to find relatives of my grandma's two elder sisters. my gran was Gladys Emily Russell born 1902 Eastpeckham Kent, her eldest sister was Ellen Louisa Russell born 1896 EP Kent married Oliver Luck in 1931 I donnot know wheather they had children. grans other sister was Ethel Maude Russell born 1899 EP Kent married Frank Swan in 1918, I believe they had four children but I do not know any of the childrens names. So I was hopeing that some one from that area of Kent may know these two families. Sorry I can't give anymore info. this is as much as I know.

Welcome to the boards Colin.

You can try looking for children of those marriages on this free site

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

Choose the Births option, then put in just the married surname and maiden surname to find possible children.

If you check on these GR boards in the SEARCH TREES tab above here, you might find some of those names are in other's trees and you can click on their names to hopefully share information.

Have you looked on FreeBMD ?

After the end of 1911 the mothers maiden name was added to the index.

You would need to put in both surnames - select births - Swan in top box and Russell in the other box

This is them in 1911 for ref

1911 Address: Little Mill East Peckham Paddock Wood
RUSSELL, Thomas Head Married M 36 1875 Tanners Labourer Kent Hadlow
RUSSELL, Edith Wife Married15 years F 36 1875 Kent East Peckham
RUSSELL, Ellen Daughter F 14 1897 Factory Han Kent East Peckham
RUSSELL, Maud Daughter F 12 1899 Kent East Peckham
RUSSELL, Gladys Daughter F 8 1903 Kent East Peckham RG number: RG14 Piece: 3995 Reference: RG14PN3995 RG78PN152 RD48 SD2 ED14 SN120 Registration District: Malling Sub District: Wrotham Enumeration District: 14 Parish: East Peckham Address: Little Mill East Peckham Paddock Wood County: Kent

I think this is the marriage. They seem to interchange names a bit.

Marriages Dec 1895
Russell Henry Thomas Malling 2a 1133
Wells Edith Jane Malling 2a 1133

Could they have moved 6/7 miles after the Marriage?
If they did then the following could be the children.
Only way to prove it is by buying one childs birth cert.

Births Dec 1918
Swan Doreen E Russell Tonbridge 2a 1233

Births Jun 1921
Swan Ronald F Russell Tonbridge 2a 1664


Births Sep 1924
Swan Norman J T Russell Tonbridge 2a 1426

Marriages Jun 1918
Russell Ethel M Swan Malling 2a 1631
Swan Frank Russell Malling 2a 1631

I would like to thank Gwyn,LadyKira, Glitterbaby and mrs Bucket for all their help last night with my first post on my Russell Family. I now have names and marriages which will now get me nearer to finding living relatives, many thanks to you all.

Colin.

You are welcome Colin.
