The Russell's of Drumgor

[AndersonT]

I have been researching the Russell family of Drumgor, (I am a grandson of Thomas Henry Russell). I have data going back to the early 19th century and would be delighted to share this with anyone that is interested.

I am also trying to track back beyond 1820 and am trying to build a wider picture of the families of Drumgor and of the wider family of George William Russell and his father Thomas Elias Russell

Hi Wes,

Many thanks for the message.

I have quite a bit of data on the Russell's and also on the Dilworth's. I will try and send something to you at the weekend if that is OK.

It is interesting that you mention a Martha Jane Anderson; my mother was Martha Jane Russell but married Robert Anderson. I have little information on my father's side of the family although it would appear that his mother, (a Lyness), was from the same township as the Russells. My father's family lived in Glasgow, and after their marriage my mother moved to live in Glasgow.

When I was due to be born my mother went back to Portadown for my birth so that I would be born in Northern Ireland, (Carlton Home, Portadown, 27th January 1953).

I am happy to correspond by email if that fits for you and can send some photographs.

I need to check it out but I believe that one of my mothers cousins the moved to New Zealand was a Dilworth; I will check this out with everything else but I do have quite a bit of information on Rebecca and her family since she and my mother kept in contact up till Rebecca passed away.

Best regards,

Tom Anderson
