Did my Arthur come to Australia
« on: Monday 08 April 13 17:49 BST (UK) »
I cannot find anything about my Uncle Arthur Thomas Russell after 1911 London.

He was born 1894 Stepney East London.

I did find Arthur Russell outgoing passenger from London to Sydney in July 1911 but it doesn't give his age so I don't know if it is him.

Can anyone find any Arthur Russells arriving in Australia about that time or later.

Or is that like finding a needle in a haystack? ::)

There is an Arthur Thomas Russell on the London, England Electoral Register 1832 - 1965 on Ancestry between 1949 - 1959 in Poplar.  Only had a quick look.  There was a Mary Russell at same address.  Wife?

I think I have seen that entry on the Electoral Register but I couldn't find a marriage.

It could be him. I'll have to have another look for a marriage.

Thanks

I guess you have found this before, but the only marriage I can find for an Arthur T Russell is Sep 1927 vol 1d page 2227 in Greenwich Kent to an Ellen Else per Free BMD.

There is a death of an Arthur T Russell abt 1893 Oct-Nov-Dec aged 73 Tonbridge Kent vol 5f p798.
I looked for an equivalent birth in Kent, but none for an "Arthur T".
There is an Arthur Theodore Russell born in St Olave in 1893, so could also be him.

I have seen the marriage to Ellen Else and I can't remember now why I ruled that out.

I have been considering sending for the Death cert in Kent. However I don't know how I will know if it is him.

Thanks for your efforts

Re Australia: there are some Arthur Thomas Russell's coming up in the Hunter Valley region on the Australian Electoral Rolls: Scone, Singleton, Raymond Terrace, and then surburban Newcastle.  Deaths go up to 1982 only in NSW BDM http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search
