Matthew Bell/ Salkeld/Woolsington Hall
« on: Friday 21 March 08 16:12 GMT (UK) »
My family were  the Bells of Woolsington Hall and I have got a far back as Matthew Bell who bought Woolsington Hall  - b1677-d 1748 who married Anne (or Jane) Salkeld in 1701 (she was born 1673 and d 1732) but cant find any sign of their parents.

Does anyone have any info?

Regards

Matthew Bell was of Mersington Berwickshire Scotland and a merchant draper in Newcastle. Ann daughter of Thomas Salkeld of the Side in Newcastle was his second wife, the first being Frances Johnson Jamison or Jennison widow.
Their son Matthew was apprenticed initially to Thomas Salkeld Boothman of Newcastle, so probably this was Ann's father.
This from the Victoria County History

Thank you all for your replies - thats loads of interesting information!!! - I only started researching after my grandmother died and found loads of notes my great grandmother had made - everything else I got from the internet or when I joined Ancestory (which has now lapsed) so its great to get some more snippets from the past.

Thanks again

Regards

If you want a few more. There were two Thomas Salkelds admitted as freemen in Newcastle; Thos Salkeld son of Thos Salkeld of Newcastle tailor apprentice to Joseph Partis merchant or boothman 10/1/1693 admitted 30/8/1702
Thomas Salkeld son of Samuel Salkeld of Falloden gent apprentice to Thos Askill merchant 28/11/1689 Admitted 5/5/1699.
The Salkelds were an old gentry family. Falloden later became the home of Lord Grey the reformer.
Bottle Barns is Bothal Barns near Morpeth.
Darras is Darras Hall now an exclusive housing estate NW of Newcastle not far from Woolsington
