  • Notes 
    • Russell’s surname is recorded as Firmidge in the Harby parish baptism register.

      In 1889 Russell appears to have travelled to Victoria, Australia (Unassisted Passenger Lists, Reference: (VPRS): 947, Jan-Mar 1889; digital image accessed from Public Record Office Victoria); his occupation is recorded as Brewer. An article published in the Grantham Journal dated 28 July 1894, reports that Mr. Russell Furmidge, since dwelling in Australia, had not forgotten his cricketing abilities. He had been playing for the Port Melbourne Wesley Cricket Club and was considered the club’s best bowler being named the club’s “Spofforth” (presumably a reference to Fred Spofforth, “The Demon Bowler”, an Australian cricket pace bowler of the 19th century). Russell appears to have returned to England some time before 1901 and later became secretary to the Blackwell Colliery Cricket Club (England census; Belper News 25 May 1934).
