Looking for Robert Russell

[horwichlad]

Looking for Robert Russell born in Scotland about 1842 - lived in Horwich Lancashire from about 1867.

Unfortunately there are several Robert Russells born in Scotland around that time. Do you have a marriage certificate for him? That would give you his father's name which might help.

Looking at family trees on Ancestry - Was 1867 the date of his marriage to Clara Whitworth in Manchester??

If so -- from the marriage record -- his father was Thomas Russell, a Railway Manager.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat...If we have the right Family then Robert was born Nov. 11th, 1842 in Clackmannan Scotland to Thomas Russell and Margaret Forrester.

In 1901 Robert's Occupation was listed as "Engine Fitter"

Robert died 18th September 1924 in Horwich.
