Hello everyone, Could anyone help me to find the possible deaths and burials of my great grandfather's brother John William Russell born 24 December 1827 and baptised 20 January 1828 at St John Horselydown and his sister Clarissa Elizabeth Russell born 25 July 1831 and baptised 14 August 1831 also at St John Horselydown. Neither of these children appear in the Census of 1841 when their mother Elizabeth Russell 36 greengrocer born Surrey, Sarah Russell 17 trotter dresser born Surrey, Benjamin Russell 15 shipwright born Surrey William Russell 11 born Surrey and Samuel Russell 2 born Surrey were all recorded as living in Bermondsey Street, Leather Market. There is no sign at all of John William, and it seems quite likely that he had died as the next child was also William, and the only remote possibility for Clarissa Elizabeth that I can find of the right age is Elizabeth C Russell aged 9 living London born London. She does not seem a very likely candidate as Elizabeth is a very common name but if anyone could tell me who she was living with that might help to eliminate her from my enquiries!! Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. I have found a Clarissa Russell in 1881 aged 47 dressmaker visitor Kent born Lambeth Surrey, and again in 1901 and 1911 but I believe this to be the daughter of Hillier Russell. I have a copy of her death certificate which describes her as 98, Spinster, Dressmaker of 15 Stellman Street, North Hackney, daughter of Hillier Russell Wine Agent (Deceased). This Clarissa was baptised 20 Jul 1831 at Lambeth St Mary. All very confusing! I have also eliminated Clarissa Elizabeth Russell who married George Smyth Windham Jun 1/4 1865 at Westminster, she died Mar 1/4 1908 in the Isle of Wight aged 70. Pauline Taylor, Colchester.
