Russell family Gloryford Ireland

The location could be Glarryford which is a small village north of Ballymena in Co. Antrim. There are numerous Russell/Russel families in that area.

I don’t see any birth for a Mary Russell anywhere in Ireland on the date you have given but dates of birth were often just guesses, so that’s not too significant in itself. Ideally we need parents names from a marriage or death certificate to try and identify the lady. Her religious denomination might also help.

Thomas being born in 1851 doesn’t seem very likely to me. He’d only have been 15 or 16 when Mary was born. Possible but not likely.

Your extra information leads to a possible family with parents who were Henry (not Thomas) Russell & Mary (& sometimes the diminutive name Molly) Thompson. Here’s Mary Russell’s birth in 1866 to those parents:

And sister Livinia in 1875:

Children that I can see are :

Mary 1.9.1866

Un-named female 31.1.1869

Agnes 2.8.1870

Jane 16.9.1872

Bella 8.12.1874

Livinia 13.12.1875

Henry 26.3.1880

Family lived in Kildowney townland for some time, which is about half a mile from Glarryford, Co. Antrim, so that fits with the original approximate information . I cannot say where they went after 1880. 

Some trees on Ancestry have Henry dying in Cardonaghy (which is a few miles away, near Cullybackey) on 4.1.1896 aged 55.  Informant for Henry’s death was a John Russell (his brother) of Drumrankin:

That family was Presbyterian though, and you think yours were RC. So maybe not the right death on the trees.

There are trees on Ancestry that have some of these people but some of the details don’t tie up very well and I am not convinced that they are all correct. I think possibly some of the trees have more than 1 family mixed up.

I cannot find a Mary born to Thomas & Mary in or around 1867.  The above family is the closest I can find. You must presumably have more information. For example, did Mary marry? If so what parents names are given on her marriage certificate? Likewise if she died in a country that records parents names on death certificates what’s given there?
