Title: What happened to Joseph Russell?
Post by: jillruss on Friday 21 July 17 12:16 BST (UK)

Joseph Russell was born in June Quarter 1839 in the Cookham Registration District. He is at home in Bray, Berkshire with his family on the 1841 and 1851 censuses but after that he seems to disappear.

I can't find a death for him but can't find him on any later censuses either.

He is the only one of my 2x great grandfather's many siblings (10) who I can't account for.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did he perhaps emigrate? There is a Joseph Russell on Canadian census b July, 1839, England.  Widowed and living with his son Henry in Quebec. Found on Familysearch.
