I have found baptism records for the above daughters of Thomas and Elizabeth Russell.. Betty baptised 6.1.1771 and Nancy baptised 18.6.1775. I can find no marriage records for either of them and no burial records. They were born and baptised in the parish of St Michaels in Bath, Somerset. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you found their parents after 1775?

Have you looked in other parishes?

Thomas Russell, father, died in 1815 and is interred at St Swithins, Walcot, Bath. Two of their siblings are buried at St Michaels John in 1770 and Thomas in 1775. I have looked in the parishes around Walcot in Bath and found nothing.

That entry for 1851, being a pauper widow does that mean she was in the work house.
