Hi Sheila,
Thanks for your help, sorry for delay in replying but have been laid low with a heavy cold. Your family tree is very impressive. I don't have that much to add for you, but here goes....
Ambrose Russ was christened 18/2/1827
Mary Russ born about 1828
They were married 4/12/1847 (He was 21 and a Shepherd. She was 19 daughter of James Pearce, Labourer) The vicar was John Seagram, and the witnesses were Amelia Russ & Richard Bunce.
The children were: Edwin (born about 1851), Ralph Y (born about 1854), Henry (baptised 14/9/1856), Amelia Sarah(baptised 24/4/1859, and George (baptised 6/10/1861).
They both worked on farms as shepherds & agricultural labourers well into their old age. So seem to have been very hardy folk.
I live in Scotland, so haven't been down to the Ramsbury area, I have done some research on the web though. I don't have any photos unfortunately. I will add to this posting later with more details of Edwin and his family, and their move to London
Best wishes, Karen
