I have been trying to find out about Russell Hall, which is where some ancestors of ours were born, going back several generations.
I have been told that it was near Dudley. Eleanor Sutton Dudley was born there in 1653. She married Richard Attwood 1647 - 1715. These are direct ancestors of ours, so I am really interested to find anything possible about them.
Also, Sedgley Hall, which was the birth place of Eleanors' mother, Eleanor Jevon, born 1618. I understand that Sedgley Hall was the Jevon family home for several generations.
I haven't been able to find out where it was yet.
Any information would be great. Many thanks.

Hi, I know your original post was a few years ago but I only just came across it. I moved at the age of five in Caswell Road Sedgley Hall Estate in Sedgley with my family. The year was 1960, behind our houses stood the derelict Sedgley Hall, at the time Caswell Road had 12 houses, the rest of Caswell Road, Ridegeway and Westridge were not built for around 8 years or so, which pushed Caswell Road through to Gospel End Road. Sedgley Hall stood round about where Ridgeway is today, the rest of the area in 1960 was the gardens of the hall. Hope this helps pinpoint where the hall stood. I believe it was made into apartments at some point though it was a rather derelict building which we could see easily from the garden of numbers 2 to 12 Caswell Road, it being nearest to number 12, as a child it seemed rather spooky with broken windows and flapping curtains!
