RUSSELL Family of Auchinraith

[AJ100]

I have a crude family tree of the Russell family with a lot of omissions. Is there a kind person out there who has access to Parish Records? I don't like the on-line ones - they tend to be inaccurate.
Starting with Archibald Russell, apparently born 1797/8 at Clackmannan and died 1st Sep 1872 at Stanley House, Bridge of Allan, Logie, Co. Perth. He was a shipowner coalmaster and farmed 290 acres and married (1) Jean Wright and (2) Isabella Watson, the latter at Govan.
Archibald had several siblings apparently living at Clackmannan or Alloa in 1866 and their parents were John Russell who married Helen Sharp.
Archibald and Jean had children and ultimately lived at Auchinraith House (near Blantyre?) as did his second wife, Isabella with whom he had more children.
If anyone can fill in the gaps with dates and places I would be eternally grateful.

Kind Regards

AJ

Hi AJ

Good to have you back with the Russell Family

Thank you so much for your reply, Monica. I got a lot of very useful information on the earlier posts regarding where Archibald lived, was buried, etc but the object of the current exercise is to put some dates to the people involved going further back.
I do a lot of searching for people's relatives but I only use Parish Records as I find the internet information unreliable, hence asking for anyone with access to the appropriate Records.
Everyone up there has been fantastically helpful in the past and I thank you again for taking the truoble to reply,

Kind regards

AJ

Thomas Russell born about 1843 somewhere in Ireland. Emigrated to Canada and married Matilda Jane Neely (Neily) of New Brunswick on February 17, 1863. Died November 1894 in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada.
His father may have been named William and his mother Jane. Does anyone know anything further about him?
Researching ancestry records seem to stop with Thomas.
Any and all suggestions/records would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Helen Russell, Ontario, Canada

Not one of my lot, Helen. All mine were born in Scotland. Good luck with your search, anyway.
