Canada / Re: John Russell, 78 Fusilier in Quebec

It appears they were in Quebec by 1872 as there is a baptism for an illegitimate boy named William on 22 May 1872 in the Saint Patrick parish records who had "Bridget Ready wife of John Russell" and Mary Ready as sponsors. This William was born on 14 May 1872 to unknown parents.

Jacquie

FYI this illegitimate William is William Jordan who was a son of Anastasia Ready and her soon-to-be husband William R Jordan who was a soldier with B Battery. Anastasia Ready is Bridget Ready's sister.

Wow this really took off and I did not realize all the responses I was receiving.
The Ready family was quite outside the law shall we say in Quebec City. Bridget Ready along with her siblings were arrested multiple times in that place. I wrote about Bridget's sister who is my ancestress

Anyway Bridget & John Russell's daughter Margaret does show up in the 1881 census as an orphan https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/1881/Pages/item.aspx?itemid=5260907

Bridget Ready's family in the 1861 census are here, not the one posted above.

Bridget's parents were Thomas Ready and Margaret Prendergast

On Bridget's daughter's conditional baptism in 1872 her sister Cecilia and her Uncle James Prendergast were witnesses, the father is absent.

It is interesting to me that John may have been in NS and would explain why the daughter was not baptized for 3 years...or would it. I think I may have to go page by page through St Patrick's records and see if they have missed them in the index. I am guessing they would have married about 1865-1869, as Margaret was born in 1869.

I will be exploring the resources you all have been kind enough to provide!

Sincerely,
Patricia

I am wondering about how I would find more information on his shipping records. Where would I look next or how do I proceed from the information I found on Find My Past.
Sorry I wasn't clear in my first post.

Yes I do have that information but I thank you very much for taking the time to search for me!

I am specifically trying to trace information on their children who all seemed to work on ships. I am unfamiliar with how to proceed.
