	Hmm, might Caroline hae been younger than you thought? In 1901 -- Name: Lydia Russell Age: 32 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869 Relation: Wife Spouse's Name: Alfred Gender: Female Where born: Croydon, London, England Civil Parish: St George Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary Town: London County/Island: London Country: England Registration district: St Saviour Southwark Sub-registration district: Kent Road ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Name Age Alfred Russell 37 Alfred Russell 12 Lydia Russell 32 Lydia Russell 15 Alfred is still a Sawdust Dealer. This looks likely for his death: Name: Alfred Joseph Russell Estimated Birth Year: abt 1862 Year of Registration: 1909 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun Age at Death: 47 District: Camberwell (1837-1919) County: London, Surrey Volume: 1d Page: 450 Hard to spot a birth for Caroline. You know what I'm wondering? Was she really a daughter of Lydia or Rose, and not of their parents?

By Jove, I think we've got 'em. Alfred was a Sawdust Dealer.

Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 96 Send Message	Walter DeRose was Carolines husband. Her marriage cert 1921 shows her father to be Joseph Russell an Undertaker. I have her eldest sisters (Lydia) marriage cert which shows her father to be Alfred Joseph Russell a saw dust dealer.?? The story is that her father and mother died when she was an infant and her two eldest sisters brought her up. Lydia and Rose. Also by hearsay she had brothers James and Joseph.

	Hi John -- What/where is Walwath, if you wouldn't mind explaining? I'm pretty good at finding stuff, but from the side of the ocean all I'm finding on google maps that looks like is Walworth, Durham. Would that be it? Do you know anything about her at all -- a parent's name, a sibling's name, even her husband's name?
