the "Census of England and Wales 1841" locates his place of birth outside England and Wales. Russell was based in Caroline Street, St Clement's from as early as 1828 until his death in 1849. The area was popular with trades-people and craftsmen as its location just outside the City of Oxford until 1836 meant that it was beyond the scope of the City's higher rates (property taxes), rents and more restrictive trading regulations. See Rate Books, St Clement's, Oxford,1826-1848, "Parishes: St. Clement's | British History Online". www.british-history.ac.uk.
