 Ancestor Hunting
The ambition of the researchers in the Russell genealogy was to link Henry Russell, Member of Parliament for Weymouth in 1425, great-grandfather of John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford, with the descendants of Hugh de Rosel, who was alive in 1064.
In the case of the Russells, York Herald first provided John with a father, by identifying him with a John who was the son of the Odo Russell who occurs on the Patent Roll of 14 John.
To account for the wholly dissimilar arms of the Bedford Russells, their coat was linked to the Bertrand coat, and Hugh de Rozel was given the family name of Bertrand (long before heraldry as it is understood today was in use).

 Stroud Political History - John Russell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Lord John’s ministerial record is impressive and his commitment to reform – social and constitutional – is almost impossible to emulate, yet, curiously, he remains something of an enigma and, to some extent, over shadowed by Peel, Palmerston, Disraeli and Gladstone.
Physically, Russell was only 5 feet 4 ¾ inches, suffered from bouts of ill health and had a ‘rickety’ voice; but he prevailed, in those days of shifting political alliances and loose party structures, through his sheer force of character and intelligence.
Russell’s own first government, formed not long after his spell as MP for Stroud, introduced several important measures including the Education Act to increase teachers’ pay and the Factory Act to improve working conditions.
