July 25, 1810 in Stretham, Ely, Cambridgeshire, England; married Joseph Trickett of Pentrick, Derbyshire; d. June 25, 1867 in Spalding, West Lincolnshire. Family lore has it that she is a cousin of some sort to Bertrand Russell. I don't know her parents' names! Her children were: Harry Robert, Anne, Mildred, and Edith -- Trickett. Any clues? I've searched the ancestry of Bertrand Russell and can't figure out where she might fit in. Maybe the Bertrand Russell thing is just a family myth. Joseph Trickett was an engineer. After his death, in 1861, Mary Ann Russell Trickett is found as a "Landed Proprietoress" in Spalding. Hopefully, Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
