Hello Phil - what do you mean by any info? What do you already have in the way of census, death etc. (If nothing fine, but we don't want to duplicate).

Where have you already searched?

Re : name changes from Russell to Ruffell!!


Double " s" was often written as " ff "

One of my ancestors lived at Moss Nook but it appears as Moff Nook on certificates
