Thank you Lynette. He is not my relation then unfortunately. I have been trying to find the parents of John Johnston who married Catherine Campbell in Tasmania in 1858.
hi I am looking for the children of Isabella Johnston and William Johnston. According to the above Isabella came to Tasmania in 1841 on the Derwent with only 4 of her children. In particular I am looking for John Johnston born 1823 in Armagh Ireland. I have conflicting wives for him. Would anyone be able to tell me who he married in Tasmania. Was it Catherine Campbell or Matilda Hill.
Hi Lis, I am sorry but I do not know anything about your William Russ. My John Russ is also causing me grief. He was born in Bath, but that is all I know. William is not a name that has come up in my family but I will keep your details and let you know if anything 'clicks'
Hi Rcuser, The only info on Henry & Bethya that I have is as follows and was copied from the Guildhall at Bath by my cousin.
Henry Russ m Bethya Rossiter 09/05/1792. Witnesses James Sutton and Ann Rossiter.
children:
1793 Henry Bap 4/81793 d 16/09/1793 1795 Henry Bap 1/3/1795 1796 John Bap 25/12/1796 1800 Edmund Bap 19/1/1800 1801 Harriet Bap 25/12/1801 1805 Job Bap 3/11/1805 d 13/11/1809 1809 Ann Bap 03/04/1809
It certainly maybe worth following up Henrys siblings. The one you mentioned seems as if it could be Henrys Brother.
Hi I am looking for information on the family of Bethya Rossiter and Henry Russ in Bath. In particular one of their children John Russ born 1796 in Bath. Does anyone have any idea where he went and who he married. I suspect that he went to London and married Jane Ann Tonks but cannot prove it as yet.
John died in Kensington London in 1859 aged 69 years. the dates dont quite match but he is the only John Russ born in Bath around that time that I can find.
