James RUSSELL (ca 1755 -

[mrussell]

James RUSSELL was an ironmonger in Farnham Surrey.
He was born ca 1755.
On 6 September 1785 he married Jane Marchant.  They had a son, John Russell (1786-1834).

About 1794/5 he married for a second time.   His spouse was Mary (maiden name not known).
They had three children - Martha baptised 2 October 1795;  James baptised 2 June 1797;  and Richard baptised 20 May 1801 - all born in Farnham.

If anyone is researching this family and has any information concerning the parentage of James the ironmonger, I would appreciate hearing from you.   His father's name may have been John Russell.

With thanks

Hi

There is a Will on Anc* that looks very interesting.

Thew Will of John Russell (a blacksmith)  of Harnham ( actual will reads Farnham) dated 16 Jul 1793. The executor of the Will is his son James Russell, and leaves bequests to his children James, Martha, Sarah , Mary and Ann. It also mentions a Patty Russell (grand-daughter) dau. of his late son William. It also mentions some land in the parish of Crondall, known as (looks like) 'the Doves'.

John Russell was buried 8 July 1793 Crondall, All Saints.

It looks like James Russell's will is also on there dated 23 Mar 1816 . Mentions sons ~ John, James and Richard.
