Mary Russell (1765-1845), daughter of Robert Russell (b.1736?) and Elizabeth Crutewell (b.1736?). Sister of Martha (b.1759), Robert (b.1761), Elizabeth (b.1767) and James (b.1770).

"Kussell" is almost certainly a mistranscription in scanning. A broad search on Ancestry or FindMyPast picks up around 2,300 cases of "Kussell" and a random check of the some original documents confirms that they have been mistranscribed in the OCR process. More telling is a search of the British Phone Books on Ancestry (1880-1894). If you check for London in this 100-year period, you get 68,647 entries for "Russell", two cases of "Kussell" cases as part of a hyphenated name, and 124 "Cussell". Similar results for the counties of interest, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. The name "Kussell" cannot be ruled out, especially as a homophone of "Cussell", but a simple mistranscription of the letter R for K is more likely.
