Hi Zenopobia,
As we haven't managed to find anything yet, I thought I'd put his name in the search on the National Archives Site:
www.rootschat.com/links/05uwI put the name James Charles Russell in, but nothing came up. However, some things (will + details of insurance) came up for the name James Russell. Then I tried putting in Charles Russell, and a will came up, too.
Now these might
not be connected to your James Charles Russell; but working on the possibility of passing down family names and occupations (both surgeons + one (insurance holder) an apothecary, too) they
might just be worth looking at.
If the will show any connections, at least they might help pinpoint areas to search, etc.
Good luck - hope you do find something.
Paulene
