Hi Lynn, > on the IGI who was christened on 30 Jul 1816. Parents were James RUSSELL and Mary. > I believe this is the correct Hannah. Family information claims that Hannah's father was a > Captain lost at Botany Bay. I'm assuming that he was Navy, but have no proof. IGI does > not indicate what church or parish the christening took place. If you look at the bottom of the IGI record, you will see a reference - source - click on that it tells you that the source was the parish church. The parish church for Stokesley is St Peters & St Pauls.
