Suggestions for further research

[B11] Samuel Russell, about whom we know nothing beyond his marriage details, is the priority: birth/baptism and parentage, as well as death/burial.

The Manhood/Menard line is better established, but we had no details at all for [B15] Edward Menard, apart from his wife's forename. He has to be the starting point.
