I have already obtained the record detailing the marriage of Rose Ann Russell to Paul Rooney but am keen to find out more. In particular, I am hoping to find out about father of the bride, Joseph Russell, born 1875 in Downpatrick to Hercules Russell and his wife Mary (Murray).

Joseph Russell married Sarah King on 11 November 1896 in Clanvaraghan RC Church.
Daughter Rose Anne born the next year:

Presumably this is her in 1901:

Not sure why you've started a new topic- there's lots about the family on your previous one-

Many thanks gaffy.
You are right up to a point, aghadowey. I was simply trying to find a new angle to shed some light on what became of the Joseph Russell I have been trying unsuccessfully to trace since the original post in 2007.

Yes, but as gaffy's new posts illustrate, some details have already been posted and starting another topic here will cause confusion and extra work for those trying to help with a 'new' query.
From the older thread-
Joseph, son of Hercules Russell - originally of Tollymore, Maghera and Mary (nee Murray). Joseph, with his siblings Margaret Mary and Edmund were left behind with family in Couny Down when his parents and other siblings emigrated to the USA in 1882.
He married Sarah King of Ballywillwill in 1896 at Drumaroad RC church and had a son Hugh Hercules in 1899 (by which time the family were living in Belfast).
I believe that Joseph may have returned to Ballynahinch where he was a publican?
