Hello Gregg

 

There are a number of possibilities in the 1901 Scottish census with father

David and children John, Robert and David. But two are in Dunfermline in

1901 so seem the most likely. They are:

 

Living at 17 Rose Crescent, Dunfermline

 

David RUSSELL, 51, Head, linen powerloom tenter, born Dunfermline

Elspeth RUSSELL, 46, wife, born Dunfermline

David RUSSELL, 18, son, compositor's apprentice, born Dunfermline

Robert RUSSELL, 16, son, cloth capper's apprentice, born Dunfermline

John RUSSELL, 14, son, house painter's apprentice, born Dunfermline

Janet RUSSELL, 11, daughter, at school, born Dunfermline

Margaret RUSSELL 8, daughter, at school, born Dunfermline

James RUSSELL, 4, son, born Dunfermline

2148��� Alexander BUIST died 10.9.1945 age 52

������������������� Wife Margaret RUSSELL died 25.4.1972 age

Otherwise, no particular reason to presume this Margaret is the same one as the daughter, except that the year of birth seems to fit, presuming Margaret was the same age as Alexander. Norrie's post did not give age of Margaret from the tombstone inscription.

��� his wife Adamina TAIT died 31.3.1990 age 77

---

I have no reason to reconstruct the family such that this David Russell is positioned here. But I want to put him somewhere. Plus, this derived year of birth fits well with the derived year of birth from the census.
