Interesting that the births of Charlotte and Mary (Bapt 1844) do not appear to have been registered, whereas the later ones were, although they all pre-date the introduction of penalties (1875)

Thank you ErikaH for your findings of the Russell children albeit no marriage recorded for parents. By the way regarding the divorce mentioned on post for daughter Mary age 9, I was on Family Search and see where it was coming from because for her marital state it does say divorced on the 1851 census .Would that have been submitted by the person who was transcribing it to Family Search.

The images state relationship to head of household as Dau(squiggle). We can only assume that the transcriber disengaged brain to think that 8 & 5 yr olds could be divorced!
As 2 sites say the same, it does suggest one bought/used the same transcription from the other. Ancestry does give the correct relationship of daughter.
