Surnames: Russell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oZEBAIB/4140 Message Board Post: My great-grandmother was Rose Russell, or at least that's how she signed herself on my grandfather's birth certificate.. The 1901 census shows her born in Bexleyheath in 1872. There is no OBVIOUS record in the 1881 census, but the most likely appears to be Rosa Russell born Dartford 1870. Her parents are listed in the 1881 census as being born in Ash, Worcester. No such place! What could this have been SUPPOSED to say? (head of household Edward Russell, 54 Hythe St, Dartford, Kent, Railway Carman, born Ash, Worcester 1835, wife Elizabeth born Ash, Worcester 1848)
