Hello,
I am researching the families of James Russell & Janet Black. They married in June 1836 in Torphichen. His occupation is given as an Underground Contractor. Any information on these families would be greatly appreciated. However, I am particularly interested in a holding at the West Lotihan Council Library in the family history section. Apparently there is a holding there which is and I quote
"Card showing Christ Church, South Yarra, Australia : Sent by a descendent of Alice Webb Russell : brief information on the family connection with Torphichen." The Copy/Holding information shows that it is checked in the the Local History, Local Collection under Call No. T1.105A.
Alice Webb Russell is a daughter of James & Janet who emigrated to Australia and is my great grandmother. Needless to say I am more than interested in what is on the card and who donated it. I have emailed the library but not had any response. I was wondering if someone who is a member of the library would mind having a look at the card and telling me what is on it or, better still, scan it and email it to me. Thanks, Norma Bakker
