John Russell
« on: Tuesday 26 July 05 09:38 BST (UK) »
John Russell b.25/2/1832 d.31/8/1899 married 20/7/1860 Coatdyke, new maryland,
Marion Russell (yes maiden name was the same)b.2/1/1840 d.19/2/1904

Their 7 children were :
Margaret b.4/1/1861 d.11/8/1961

Helen Thomas b.16/8/1863 married Andrew Black 7/3/1888

William b.17/1/1865 d.20/4/1939 (have birth certificate)

Margaret Wilson b.19/5/1867 d.1948 married 31/1/1894 James Black

John b.10/9/1869 m.6/1894 had daughter Louisa Mary

Marion b.5/5/1872 d.9/1/1919 never married but had son George Paterson Russell (my grandfather) b.12/1/1901. His father was John Paterson who we believe also lived in the Caledonian buildings in Mossend.

Robert b.3/7/1875 d.13/2/1946 m.9/3/1900 Grace Bulloch - had daughter Harriet Lamb.

I know info from Helen Thomson, William and Marion but not really the others. Have birth certificates from Marion and William and know where they were born,lived,worked,died and are buried.

Have hit a brick wall with the rest, can anyone help me ?

A few corrections -- it's Coatdyke, New Monkland, not New Maryland. It's Helen Thomson Russell, not Helen Thomas. The first Margaret died in 1861, not 1961. (My wife is a descendent of Helen Thomson Russell Black.)

John Russell b.25/2/1832 d.31/8/1899 married 20/7/1860 Coatdyke, new maryland,

Margaret Wilson b.19/5/1867 d.1948 married 31/1/1894 James Black

John b.10/9/1869 m.6/1894 had daughter Louisa Mary

I also have Andrew Black, son of Andrew Black and Helen Thomson Russell, born 11 September 1897 in Whitburn, marrying Jane Storry (27 July 1886 to 17 August 1927), daughter of John Storry and Janet Wyper, in Stoneheap on 16 March 1921 in Glasgow. Andrew outlived Jane, but I have yet to find his death certificate.

Marion Russell Black, (8 December 1890 - 24 June 1974), daughter of Andrew Black and Helen Thomson Russell, married James Thornton Storry (20 November 1888-11 December 1957), son of John Storry and Janet Wyper, on 30 June 1915 in Edinburgh. I know of one son and three grandchildren of James and Marion.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
