Would some kind person confirm the parents of WILLIAM CLIFTON COLQUHOUN RUSSELL who was born 1910 in Hillhead Glasgow. He married Catherine Cameron in 1940.

Thanks for help

Hi Frances

As this is past the cut-off date at the moment, the only way to confirm parents is to pay a visit to the ScotlandsPeople centre in Edinburgh (I see you are based there). Other way to find out is to wait until next year when this birth will become available on Scotland People web site. You could also view the marriage there.

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi Frances

If you've not already done so, or not been before, you should be able to go to one of the 2hr free sessions. See:

Managed to find out the parents and grandparents of William C C Russell.
Willaim Russell & Agnes Henderson (P) and John Russell and Mary Colquhoun.(GP)
On William & Agnes's marriage certificate (1909) John & Mary are both deceased. I can find no trace of a marriage for John and Mary or a death certificate for either of them.

John is described as being a Marine Engineer and I noticed on SP a will for a John Russell (marine engineer)who died in Liverpool -sometime of Calderbank.

I am thinking that maybe John & Mary were married in England.

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to take out a sub for ancestry ? :?

Any suggestions of where to go from here would be appreciated :)

Just downloaded the will and it would appear that it is the correct John Russell :D

Just need to try and read it now. :?

FREE BMD shows a marriage of a John Russell, with a Mary Colquhoun on the same page, at West Derby, Liverpool in 1877.

When was William senior born?

Here is William and his mother in 1881 from the IGI -

Mary RUSSELL Head M Female 26 Scotland Marine Engineers Wife
William RUSSELL Son U Male 1 Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Interesting there is an Agnes Russell next door age 55 born Scotland and a Marine Engineer's wife. John's mother?
