Hi Darryl Well, well. I checked my Strays file and what did I find but some correspondence from July and August 1984 from Winston Allwright on this very topic! You've got more info than he had regarding the offspring, but he too was trying to find the parents of Edward Joseph RUSSELL RUSSELL shouldn't be a difficult name to research, it is well-known but not common (eg besides the furniture shop we are the only ones in the local telephone directory). But somehow the ancestors are very elusive, we have put a lot of effort in to trying to find my husband's grandfather's birth record in the UK but without success. I hope you have more luck with EJ!
