trying to find the parents of Beatrice Jessie Russell, born Swansea !884...
Having difficulty finding her parents...know her father was William Russell....he was a confectioner..and thats it..can't find him or her mum anywhere on births, deaths etc??......
can anyone help??

This is her birth reference:

Dec qtr 1884

If you get her birth certificate, it will tell you both her parents' names.

Are they on the 1891 or 1901 census?
