Our town (Reading) is intending to raise a memorial to two local men who gained the VC. One of them is Sir Charles Russell VC 3rd Baronet. The Chairman of the Memorial Trust wants to get more background info and proof of his birth/death. I've suggested he contacts the local Berkshire Records Office - but just a starter I thought I'd look for his death, but have had no success!
He was born in 1826 in Reading but he died at his family seat, Swallowfield Park, Reading on 13 April 1883.
I've looked on Free BMD/UK BMD/Arrmy Records and even the 1881 Census - all to no avail!
I'm obviously missing a link somewhere Can somebody help please.
More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Cha...l,_3rd_Baronet - is there something else I should enter?
Thanks
