Author: Robertabix Surnames: O'BRIAN RUSSELL BEAVER Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.russell/6290.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have traced this couple on the NZ Birth, Death and Marriage Register and found the following: 1886: marriage registered between Mary O'BRIEN and Henry Thomas Russell. Most likely children on the Birth Register were: 1887: Beauty Guertha Louisa Nellie [Beauty may well be a mistranscription of Bertha - handwriting may be difficult to read on the original certificate] 1888: William Henry Possible death for william: 1912: William Henry [if the death was near the end of 1911 it may well not have been registered at the beginning of 1912. This would make him 22 at time of death (only a year out)]. Marriage for Bertha likely to be (it is the only marriage registered for a Bertha RUSSELL): 1908: Bertha Louisa RUSSELL to Alfred Thomas BEAVER Hope this is of some help.
