Coldingham query- BELL/TRUMBULL
« on: Tuesday 06 March 07 13:51 GMT (UK) »

Does anyone have M.I.s for Coldingham?
Looking for a Mark Bell married to Christian Trumbull and their daughter Christian Bell born about 1774.
Many thanks Maggie.

Have the pre 1855 M.I.'s, for Coldingham and neither of the names you mention are in it.

Thanks for the swift reply Beckey. It was always a long shot but I seem to have hit a brickwall with tracing Christian Bell!

Hi Maggie,
Should that name be Turnbull? there still isn't a match, but still a number of Bells in Coldingham 1851

Not sure about the surname but it could well be an error-it came from the IGI. But looking at my records I find that there is a Turnbull in there.
Christian Bell was (possibly) married to Alexander Spence and they had a son b. 1804 in Allanton( also called Alexander) . All trace of Christian is then lost, and her husband is found remarried to a Margaret Turnbull by 1841 census. So I've been trying to find a death record for Christian Bell/Spence!
Thanks Maggie

Hi Maggie,

I understand that there is a church but no graveyard at Allanton, but had a check through the pre 1855 MI's that I have, but still can't find anything for Bell/Spence.

Have some 1851 census details, quite a lot of Spence family in Coldingham, but no Alexander or Margaret about 50/60.

Thanks Beckey, I have found Alexander Spence (jnr) in Ayton in 1841 and Alexander Spence (snr) in Hutton in 1851. Spence (snr) died in Hutton in 1853- do you know whether there is a graveyard in Hutton?
Best wishes Maggie.

Hi Maggie,

Yes there is a graveyard at Hutton & Fishwick, but Alexander Spence snr. isn't in the pre 1855 MI.

No Alexander Spence in Ayton MI's, but a number of other Spence names.

I have a 1851 census of Ayton, but Alexander isn't there, but a Isabella Spence H M 36 Wife of Ag. Lab. Ayton and 5 children are.
Also a Mary Spence H W 55 Domestic Duties Whitsome & 3 children are.

Any connection?

Thanks Beckey, the Isabella in 1851 is mine, she married Alexander Spence (jnr). Alexander has not been traced in that census- but on his son's birth certificate his occupation is given as a gauger on the North British Railway, so he may well have been working away on the census night. The death certificates record them as buried in Hutton (Alexander Spence jnr.1855and Alexander snr.1856) and Ayton (Isabella 1860)so it looks as though the headstones (if they had them) have not survived.
Best wishes, Maggie.

Hi maggie, not really related to your enquiry bu I have an ancestor called Frances Turnbull which was transcribed as Trumble so yours is quite possibly Turnbull, she married an Edward Common.
I am also related to the bells, my mother was Florence Bell. My GG grandfather was Matthew Bell born in Benwell Newcastle. happy searching Malcolm Common
