I am the great-great-great-grandson of Russell Walker Grierson Ford.  She and David migrated to Australia in 1853/54, leaving Liverpool aboard the Birmingham on 3 October and arriving Melbourne on 2 January.  I am doing her family tree.

What is your interest in Russell?

I am a descendent through Russell's third child, Georgina Reid Tait.  She married William Henry Styles in 1883. 

I assume that your husband is descended from Russell's youngest child, David William Tait, born Darlington in 1865.  Am I correct?

I would love to get in touch direct if a way can be found.
