richard & Sarah russell

[marriedwithkids]

I need to find info on  the marriage of  Richard F. Russell to Sarah C. Diamond in Bromley, or Brompton, Middlesex between 1840 and 1848 when the couple emigrated to Australia with at least 2 children.
could someone also please check these children and their date of birth 
1;  Richard Russell born prior to 1847 [i think 1842-3 ] and his brother
2 ; Arthur W Russell who was born 1847 as he is described on papers  upon arrival in Aus as being 12 - 18 months of age.
And also if i may have help with Richard's birth records. I don't have any idea at all when he was born although i beleive Sarah was born about 1824 and they were of a similar age . His parents were Richard & Mary Russell from the same area in Middlesex.
Any help at all gratefully received
Thanks
Vickie

Have you looked at Freebmd?
There is a marriage there in September quarter 1843 at St George Hanover Square.
You may find the children there too.

(1) 1. RICHARD RUSSELL
Notes:
Lived with his wife in Brompton, Middlesex in 1848.

Children:   RICHARD F

(2) 2.  RICHARD F RUSSELL
**************************************************
Birth Place:   BROMLEY, MIDDLESEX ENGLAND
Occupation:   CARPENTER
Education:   READ & WRITE

Notes:
Sailed from  Plymouth on the ship '"Walmer Castle" on 12 September 1848, arriving in Sydney with his wife & two sons  on 30 December 1848.

He appears on the Warialda (Queensland) Electoral rolls in 1875/1876 & 1877/1879.   This probably explains why his son married there, rather than at Barraba.

Birth Date:   1814
Birth Place:   STRANRAER,  WIGTONSHIRE, SCOTLAND

Medical:                   SENILE DECAY ASTHENIA
Spouse Father:   JOHN DIAMOND - 631
Spouse Mother:   MARGARET MCGAW (McDAWL) - 632

Spouse Notes:
 
We have a copy of Sarah's wedding certificate which lists her as Sarah Calandar McDawl Diamond.
 
The name Coleman has special significance for us in that we believe an Emily was adopted by Richard and Sarah. The information we have is the birth certificate of Jessie Ethel Cheeseman dob 27/1/1882, Emily Russell's daughter. Jessie's birth certificate provides the fathers name Alfred Cheeseman,  date of marriage as 21/6/1868. The mother Emily is listed as 'Emily Russell formerly Coleman'. Her age is given as 29 giving an approximate date of birth of 1853. We have never been able to locate birth details for Emily either as Russell or Coleman. The rumours passed down by Jessie Ethel were that her mother had been adopted.

( her defacto at the time of her murder in 1900) as it suited her.
 
 
SARAH CAME TO NSW AUST IN 1856 THEN TO QLD IN 1888

this is great information as it verifies a lot that i have on the family & it nows gives me dates to start looking for sarah coleman diamond in scotland to see if she married prior to richard russell although emily was born 5 years after they married she may have been a relo of sarah's from a previous marriage. does that make sense to you or am i grasping at straws? which side of the family do you belong to? i am a descendant of richard & sarah's son Arthur Wellesley Russell who married Leah Legg. i have some info on the early history of the family but not a lot of more recent stuff but i am happy to share what i have with you if you would like to.any info on other members of richard & sarah's children & their offspring would be gratefully received as i am trying to put together a full family tree complete with as many branches & twigs as i can.
hope to hear from you soon
my email address is bjs181@tsn.cc if this easier to make contact

Hi all
I'm also a descendant of Leah Legg and Arthur Wellesley Russell.
My name is Natalie Newman and i have written an email to both you gary and Vicki.

My line is:

Daughter of Leah and Arthur, Mary Russell b. 1876 Tamworth m. William John Viney.

Their daughter Ethel Viney b. 25 Nov 1891 m. John William Henry Horne.

Their Daughter Monica Radoll (nee Horne) b. 7 May 1937 is my Grandmother.

I am having some problems with the Viney side and Horne side. I know you may not have researched these people - but if you have - i'd love to know what you have found. I have conflicting info everywhere.

Thanks alot

Natalie
