Nancy, I find no birth record for Andrew Russell (by any spelling) in the Vital Records of Hudson, 1734-1985 by Gerald Q. Nash et al, Heritage Books, Inc.1997. I do find the marriage you mentioned on p. 449: "SHAW, E Gladys and Charles E Russell NH, 15 Oct 1907, Hudson, NH John T Shaw & Mary A Nason Joseph E Russell & Lottie Hopkins" The names below those of the bride and groom are the parents. Looking under their names in the birth records I find only: p. 202 "SHAW, John Taylor Sex: M 23 May 1981 John Shaw & Janet Mary Dasey" (Too modern to be your guy, obviously, but maybe a descendant???) I find no marriages for either set of the given parents.
