Research on this Russell family has been ongoing for many years. The earliest identifiable ancestor is John RUSSELL who began having children in the city of London in 1773. His marriage to Elizabeth (Lloyd) SANDIFORD occurred 12 Jul 1773 in the parish of St. Bride Fleet Street, London. John died in 1829 and was buried in St. Peter's Church, Walworth, Newington District, Surrey, England at age 78. Elizabeth Lloyd RUSSELL was buried in the same church 2 Jan 1831 at age 78.
The marriage record shows that Elizabeth Lloyd SANDIFORD was a minor and the witness was Peter SANDIFORD. Now a new search begins to learn the identity of this Peter SANDIFORD.
