Russell was the son of Thomas Russell, of Moor Green, Moseley, Worcestershire (now Birmingham) by his second wife, Mary Garner. He was commissioned a captain when the North Worcestershire Volunteers were formed in September 1803.

He was elected at the 1832 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MP) for East Worcestershire,[3] and held the seat until he stood down at the 1835 general election.[3]
He was also High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1839.[2] Kings Heath Park was made for him.[citation needed]
