spouse: Pertus, Eugenie (~1837 - 1919)Death Note
Deduced from the remarriage of Eugenie as a "widow" in 1869.
----------child: Roy, Edouard Victor Louis (1861 - )Marriage Note
The record actually shows the bride's surname to be "Soloman". These record were not made contemporaneously, but rather were reconstructed by a Rev. William LeBlanc of Arichat about twenty years later from scattered slips of paper. It seems probable that the Fr. LeBlanc knew of Eugenie as the then Mrs. Soloman and used that surname when reconstructing this record. The same is true for the record of the birth of their child, Edward. That the bride's surname was truly Pertus is consistent with the latter census records showing an Edward of the right age living with Eugenie and her second husband.

Christening - [date: 06 APR 1842] [place: Dartmouth, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada]
Admitted to Bar of Nova Scotia in 1872. One of the founders of Dalhousie Law School. Attended the Grace Methodist Church. Born in a cottage in Dartmouth, which stood at 21 Dundas Street.spouse: Coleman, Louise (*1853 - )
Educated for the bar, he was an outstanding leader in the public life of Dartmouth until well along in middle life. Professor Russell was particularly aggressive during the contest with the Steam Boat Company when the Town took over the ferry system in the summer of 1890.
During the eight years that he sat in Parliament, Dr. Russell commuted between Ottawa and Halifax every week in order to carry on his classes at Dalhousie Law School. When he came home after winning the election in Hants County in 1900, enthusatic law students joined local liberals in a torchlight procession through Dartmouth up to his home where, between band selections, they serenaded their beloved 'Benny' with stirring songs and College cheers.
Dr. Russell retired from politics in 1904, and for the suceeding 20 years was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. About that time the family moved to Halifax. His Autobiography contains many interesting and humorous anecdotes of people and place in 19th century Dartmouth.Occupation - [date: BETWEEN 1904 AND 1924]
