Russells of Lanarkshire I have belonged to this list for years and finally I have seen some interest in a RUSSELL family from Lanark. I am interested in Marion Russell, born c1825 Renfrew. I do not know her parents, but I have found a possible Marion Russell in the 1841 census , of Greenock aged 15. "My" Marion Russell married David Walker at Dunbarton, Rhu (Row) in December 1847, and at the time of the 1851 census of Scotland, David and Marion were living at 20 Kent Street, Glasgow, Lanark with their children (Mary aged 3 years and David aged one year) and David was working as an engine keeper. c1853 the family moved to Newcastle on Tyne, where David worked in the shipbuilding industry. At the time of the 1861 census of England, David and Marion were living at 51 Smith’s Dock, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Byker District, Northumberland with their children (Mary, aged 13 years; Marion, aged 10 years; Margaret, aged 8 years; Robert, aged 6 years; David, aged 3 years; twins Jean and John aged 6 months). David was then working as an engineer. By the time of the 1871 census of England, David had died and Marion was living at Newcastle Upon Tyne, Byker District, Northumberland with her 6 youngest children. Marion had a grocer's shop and her 39 year old brother Edward was living with the family. Edward was working as a labourer. I have not been able to find any birth or other records for Edward Russell, who was born c1832 a/c to the census. Marion Russell Walker died in Newcastle on Tyne in December 1847. Can anyone please help an Aussie "battler"? Audrey King, Blue Mts, NSW Australia
