MarriagesTop
1 Elizabeth POTTER ( ABT 1835 )
2 Apr 1871St James the Great, Bethnal Green, London18
Marriage after banns at the parish church of St James the Great, Bethnal Green. Vicar or curate: J.C. Tattersall.
Witnesses: Luois [sic] Henry Potter, Alice Potter.
Widow/Widower.

The marriage date, coincidentally (or not, maybe?) is the date of the 1871 census. Both parties are given as being residents of Bethnal Green which is clearly untrue given the fact that they're living in St. Pancras on the 1871 census.

Curiously, the bride's father's name is given simply as "Robert", without a surname.
Children:
1. Charles Robert RUSSELL ( 16 Jan 1866 - 18 Jan 1927 )
2. Helen RUSSELL ( ABT 1868 )
3. Elizabeth Mary RUSSELL ( 12 Jun 1870 )
4. Rosina Lydia RUSSELL ( 4 Jun 1873 - Jun 1915 )

NotesTop
Edward Russell had been previously married because his marriage certificate with Elizabeth Potter describes him as a widower. Unfortunately there are a multitude of possible marriages in the BMD index between 1850 and 1870 that could be the correct one.
