Here is a photo which is thought to be George Russell, b 1848 Omoa, taken about 1872 in Elizabeth PA. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/r/u/s/Judith-F-Russell/PHOTO/0027photo.html George was the son of George Russell (d ca 1850) and Elizabeth George. He was living with his family in 1851 in Shotts Parish and in 1861 they were in Bothwell, Holytown. By 1880 he was living in Elizabeth PA with his wife Margaret Scougal, whose family was from Peebles. George had some Russell uncles of Bonkle who moved early on to Canada, but he was never there, as far as I can make out. His USA immigration sponsor and business partner was a Harrison. I would guess that George Russell left Lanarkshire about 1870 because of the lure of USA job prospects, but I am curious about what things have been identified as being "push" factors for emigration about that time among other Lanarkshire families.
