Partridge Russell of Cranbrook
« on: Saturday 27 June 09 15:40 UTC (UK) »
Hi all

I'm trying to find out more information about an ancestor of mine. Partridge Russell (1637-1683) was a yeoman from Cranbrook, and had at least 7 children by his wife Catherine. I'm trying to find out:

1) His marriage to Catherine. The marriage would have taken place between 1653 and 1662. They were not married at Cranbrook, nor the nearby villages

2) His sisters marriage. A excerpt from the book "A Market Town and its Surrounding Villages" reads:

"Partridge Russell was bondsman for Edward Kingswood in his marriage to Alice Besbeech in 1667; both men were yeoman of Cranbrook as well as being related by marriage, Edward's brother having married Partridge's sister."

I'm aware of two sister, Mary and Jane, but cannot link either of them to a Kingswood. On a side note though, the above Edward &  Alice Kingswood were married at Dover. This could mean that both Partridges and his sisters marriage may have taken place far from Cranbrook, to maybe not in Kent at all

Can anyone help me with tracking these marriages down?

Regards

Lee

As Partridge RUSSELL was reasonably wealthy, have you tried looking for a Marriage Licence?

"Full abstracts have been published of the diocese of Canterbury's marriage allegations, bonds and licences. These cover the years 1543-1869 and can be found on the library bookshelves at CKS (reference: XK 929.3)."
