Actually, my interest in this family only concerns the marriage of John William M'Curdy to Jane Russell.Presently, I am trying to identify the parentage of this M'Curdy.My interest in the Chamberlain family occured because Jane was mentioned as being the niece of Sir Henry Chamberlaine in their newspaper marriage announcement. I however, was unable to find this Russell-Chamberlaine connection.Would you have any information on the above mentioned parties that you would be willing to share? With best regards, Paul
