Ware baptism records RUSSELL
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 12:03 BST (UK) »
According to the IGI

Mary RUSSELL was baptised in Ware on 13 May 1792 (parents John and Mary) and
Jane RUSSELL was baptised in Ware on 14 May 1797 (parents John and Mary). 

I suspect the two girls were sisters and hope that the Ware parish baptism records might provide a further clue, e.g. father’s occupation (was this information typically recorded?). 

I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Hi Juniperus,

Found the two entries in the Ware St.Mary's Parish Records. 
13May1792  Russell Mary  of John & Mary
14May1797  Russell Jane Goram of John & Mary

These were typical entries for this period but  maybe the additional forename may help.

Regards   ...   Peter

Very much appreciated Peter. 

It seems I've hit a bit of a wall with this one, but as you say, the additional forename may prove useful.  It certainly seems unusual! 

Kind regards

Juniperus
