Hi all, thanks for your hard work it seems that this Richard R Russell is not the one I am looking for, did not think that it would be that hard to find him, with the initials RR.
The one in Toronto was the one that I thought might be him, mine Richard Robert Russell was born on 17 Apr 1874 so 10 years earlier, we are also the English branch of the Russell family.
It seems most likely that the passenger list for 1892 is correct as it would support the oral family history that RR & HJ Russell travelled to Canada, but that HJ came back and that RR was in Saskatchewan, however the census record for a Richard Russell in Manitoba for 1906 gives wrong age and different immigration year of 1903.
So it appears back to square one, he could have died or gone to the USA, I suppose.
Regards Peter
