MarriagesTop
1 EDWARD CHARLES RUSSELL ( 5 Dec 1828 - BEF 1889 )
2 Apr 1871St James the Great, Bethnal Green, London15
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.

1. Charles Robert RUSSELL ( 16 Jan 1866 - 18 Jan 1927 )
2. Helen RUSSELL ( ABT 1868 )
