Robert Welsh Bisset Russell

['Trish']

I am having problems locating my grandfather Robert Welsh Bissett Russell.  I am doubting whether this full name is his correct name!  I have found his marriage to Margaret Hamilton at Tollcross Shettleston in 1911, when they were both in their 30's.  Robert Russell was born around 1877 in the Glasgow area.  I have found him on the 1891 Census at Duke Street with his mother Janet Russell nee Jackson & his grandmother Catherine.  Robert had a sister called Catherine also born c1879, she also appears on the Census.  Any help to locate Robert would be very much appreciated.

Mo, could you tell me how you found Robert Welsh Bissett Russell?  I was initially thrilled at last to see Robert's birth date.  But then I started to have doubts as I had thought he was born in Glasgow not Kirkcudbright.   Although its possible he could have lied over his place of birth!
I'm not saying what you have isnt correct, but I am relatively new to this, & so far Robert has been very difficult to find.  But I have Robert marrying Margaret Hamilton on 11 Dec 1911 at Shettleston Glasgow.  His father on the marriage certificate was Joseph Russell & his mother Janet Robson/Robertson.  I located Janet Robson/Robertson on 1891 Census (Duke Street Glasgow) with son Robert age 13, Mother Catherine Robson/Robertson & daughter Catherine.  Robert then must have been born 1877/78 Glasgow.  So far I have been unable to locate his birth. 
I am more than grateful for any help given.  Regards Pauline

Decided since you were not sure he was telling truth about his name especially since is was so specific I tried Robert Russell, Robert W Russell, Robert W B Russell and then Tried Robert Bisset.. did a five year search with no specific county and found it where you thought in 1877 and with a mother Janet Bisset.

sorry it took me so long to get back to you but got taken out to lunch by son and heir...

Right have had another good hard look at Scotlandspeople. 

I found a marriage with the same selection of surnames now I am still not 100% sure its connected to your chap but thought too close not to post details.


Joseph Bisset Russell aged 21 marries Janet Edgar Milleraged 20. on 11 November 1887 in district of Dumfries.

His parents are Joseph Russell and Janet Bissett

again if you IM me I will happily pass on cert.

I looked for marriage of Janet Robson to any Russell but no joy..... and then did the same for Robertson... will come back if I have any luck
