I have a William P. Russell who in 1850 was 22 and lived in Norfolk, Va. That means he must have been born ca 1827/28. The 1880 Census states that he was b. in VA. He died in 1895 in Norfolk, Va. and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Norfolk, Va. In 1890 he is listed as being a boat builder and living at 76 Queen St. (Where ever that is?) He worked at Front Street near 1st in Atlantic City, Norfolk, Va. At some point he lived on Herman Ave., Norfolk, Va. I cannot find a death certificate for him or anything giving his parents names. I know that the name Robert was important to him since he named 2 of his children Robert. QUESTIONS: 1. Does anyone live near Elmwood Cemetery and could you check for information for me on William P. Russell. I think his middle name is Parker but that is an assumption based on another of his children's names. 2. Would the Va.-Pilot newspaper have an obit for him. If so where can I write to get a copy. I live in Florida. Thanks so very much for any help. Clare
