Hugh Russell's death certificate says that he was married. 

Possible entry on the marriage index from 1901 to Rena Bromley - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JVDM-PPT

Possible birth of a son - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VBTR-K3S

Hi everyone
Trying to find out a bit more about Ellen Russell born 1884 in Philadelphia.
She was living with her brother Henry who was born in Ireland on the March 21st 1877, they were boarders at Philadelphia ward 1, found this in the 1900 census.
Don't know what happened to them after that.
Would appreciate any help in finding any other information about both of them.
 Elaine

On the 1900 census, Ellen is listed as born in Dec. 1884. 

There is a Pennsylvania death record for Nellie McConnell who died 6 May 1938 in Philadelphia.  It says she was born 26 Dec 1885 in Philadelphia and her father was Hercules Russell b. Ireland.  No mother's name is listed, but it says the mother was born Ireland.  Nellie was the widow of Daniel A. McConnell.  She died at 2521 So. Carlisle.  She was buried in Holy Cross cemetery.

Possible match for her in the 1920 census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MF1K-59D

And 1910:  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MGCV-SNR  Looking at the actual image of this, Daniel is with the family, but on the previous page.

Many thanks Shellyesq :)
Gives me a bit more to go on, not sure about Henry hopefully he lived longer than his brothers as they died in their 20's.
Must Irish women in the 1900's named Ellen would have used the name Nellie, it the same name as her aunt who lived here in Ireland.
 thanks
Elaine  :)
