Hi, I have hit a BIG brick wall in trying to find out when and where James RUSSELL was born I know that James' father was Richard RUSSELL. (marriage certificate) I have tried to track James down in the 1841-1891 Census and he gives a variety of POB including Stowe in the Wold (1881) Barton GLOUCESTERSHIRE (1891) Barton Warwickshire (1871) MArton Warwickshire (1861) Gloucester STOWE (1851)? I am sure it is the same person as I am able to Trace family members. In 1840 James RUSSELL married Ann BARNWELL. On the marriage certificate James states he is living in QUINTON GLOUCESTERSHIRE This is the earliest record I have of James ? Are there any records that would be available for searching where I might be able to find out where James was living in 1840 in Quinton? I am hoping that I might be able to find him with other family members which might help me track down his birth details. Failing this can anyone suggest where I might start in trying to find James' birth details Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Regards Matt Australia ________________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE AOL Email account with unlimited storage.
