Rose
Anne Boyd/Alexander Cooper Russell
I am researching my gg grandmother
Rose Anne Boyd from Scotland (I think from
Glasgow) She married
Alexander Cooper Russell on December 31, 1848, in Scotland.
Children were:
Margaret R. Russell
born 13 June 1850 Scotland
John Russell born 6 Oct. 1851
in Glasgow Scotland. (my g grandfather)
Agnes Russell born 11
Feb. 1853 Scotland
Alexander (1) Russell
born 22 June 1855 Scotland
Euphemia Russell born 6 May
1856 Scotland
William Russell born 14 April
1858 Scotland
Alexander (2) Russell born
5 Jan. 1869 Scotland
Annie Russell born 10 Nov.
1861 who was the last born in Scotland
John Russell's citizen papers
show that he at age 11 he entered the U.S. on
November l , 1862
in Milwaukee Wisconsin, so far I have not found
anything stating they traveled
together. However on the 1870 MA Census for
the city of Lowell MA I located
the following: Address was 19 River Street
in the Centraville section
of Lowell, MA (Middlesex County) Ward 5
Russell Alexander age
43 born in Scotland - both parents born Scotland
Russell Ann age 62 born
in Scotland - both parents born Scotland (because of
the age difference I felt
this was Alexander's mother not wife.
First child recorded:
John Russell age 19 born Scotland
- both parents born Scotland
Euphemia age 13 born Scotland
William age 12 born Scotland
Alexander age 10 born Scotland
Ann age 8 born Scotland
David age 5 born Mass.
Hugh age 3 born Mass.
John Cath age 50 born in Scotland
(no record of family or friend)
I have no record of Rose Anne
Boyd dying between the birth of her last child
and the 1870 Census (which
she does not appear) here in Lowell, MA. I did
not find Alexander in the
Lowell City Directory until 1868 I need to research
the surrounding areas here.
The cemetery (St. Patrick's) began keeping good
records in 1892, and I have
the death of Alexander Russell as 30 March 1874.
He also no longer showed up
in the City directories for 1875.
I found no record of
citizenship for Alexander Russell, only his son John
Russell who became a citizen
in Manchester, NH at the age of 33 on 9 Oct 1884.
I have a lot more data on the Russell family.
