Many many thanks to you all for your hard work.  There seem to have been several George Laird Russells born.  The 1872 one was born to William and Elizabeth Russell. Obviously Grocering was in the family!

I have yet to establish why John and Russell went to USA between 1896 and 1900 but perhaps will never know.
 
For further reference should anyone be interested at a later date I have also just added new information for the children of Mary Purse and John Russell:
William Russell b 1896 d 01/01/1916 Remembered with Honour at Thiepval Memorial  15420
James Cameron Russell b 1898 USA d 1906 Diphtheria Lochwinnoch
George Laird Russell b 1900 d 1908 of intestinal obstruction at children' hospital Milton Glasgow
Annie W Russell b 1904 d 1976 at Johnstone m 1936 John Guy
Arthur Purse Russell b 1905 d 1972 at Kilbirnie, m 1940 Ann Gibson
Mary Pearson Russell b 1909 d 1955 at Glasgow of TB school teacher
Robert John Russell b 1900 d 29/30 May 1944 buried at Tripoli Naval Cemetery 299558

Should anyone 'stumble' on further information that would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
