Member Since: June 2007 Posts: 1 Send Message	I'm trying to find a man named John Russell born end of 1880 ish! I know he was a royal marine light infantry member when he was 22 but cannot find him in any ship census' or logs. He married at the of 22 to Ada Elizabeth Kearns in 1901 in the portsmouth area. I also know that he and Ada went on to have 7 children (6 boys and 1 girl). I think that his father was called Thomas Russell born in the mid 1800's, unsure of his wife's name. If anyone has any info on this illusive man then please leave me a reply as he has become my sticking point!
