Hi Pip
Don't know if this helps or not, but I have found a F.B. Fibiger b abt 1864 on the ship "Cecilie" moored at Godshill Isle of Wight in the 1881 census for England. Born in Kopenehagen. Danish Subject.
In 1901 the family are living in South Shields Durham. Agnes born in Scotland, young Louis aged 10 born in South Shields and father Louis born in Denmark now a British citizen and occupation Foreman Rigger Shipyard.
Another question for you..............Is there any reason why Agnes Bell would use the name Brix instead of Bell?
Best wishes
Jean
PS If these are your family you should take a look at http://thepeerage.com/p8252.htm

Hi Jean,
Wow!!! I never expected anything like this!
I don't know anything about Agnes other than the information I have posted here, other than my Grandmother Janet Bell, saying she stayed in South Shields with an Aunt at some point, because her parents died in a flu epidemic? Don't know whether this is right but these are initial searches into the Bell family,
thank you so much - I am totally amazed that this might well be true!
many thanks again,
Claire

Hi Claire
The reason I ask about the name Brix is that there is a marriage on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ for Lewis Fibiger and Agnes Brix or Margaret Ann Kirkwood Jan-Mar 1891 in South Shields and I thought that the Agnes Brix could be Agnes Bell (bad transcription?)
There is also the birth of Lewis John Fibiger Jan - Mar 1891 in South Shields. This fits with the Lewis found in the 1891 census in West Lothian.
The connection to the aristocracy is fascinating, if Agnes Bell and Agnes Brix are one and the same?
Best wishes
Jean
PS forgot to say that there is no birth for an Agnes Brix in Scotland from 1855-2006, so it looks more and more like the marriage entry has been badly transcribed. If it were me I would be very tempted indeed to send off for the marriage certificate.

Hi Jean,
The marriage certificate has arrived!
Very interesting reading!
It appears that Lewis Fibiger (widower) married Agnes Brix (widow). Lewis, 28, was a Seaman, his father, Sophus Fibiger was a Master Mariner. Agnes, 26, does not have an occupation but................her father is William Bell!
The residence of them both at the time of marriage was 65 West Holburn, South Shields. I wonder was it a lodging house or was he lodging with her because of the nature of his job?
But now I wonder who F. B. Fibiger was down in Godshill, Isle of Wight? Could this be a brother?
This is very ingtriguing, more digging to do I think! If you would like a copy of the certificate I am willing to share,
Claire

Hi Claire
Really fascinating!
I've had a search on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and found that an Agnes Bell married "somebody" Brix in 1883 in Leith Midlothian.
It's got to be the same Agnes. Fortunately she married 2 men with very unusual surnames.
As it's a Scottish certificate you'll get both parents names shown and prove, I would reckon, that this is your Agnes
Best wishes

Hi Claire
I have been looking at this surname from all angles and have come up with the following:-
I don't think there is any doubt that with the names Brix and Fibiger and the fact that Agnes and her son are found with her parents in 1891, we have the correct person.
Also you know from family folklore that South Shields plays a part in the family history.
Now imagine this scenario:-
Young Agnes, getting married for the first time to Mr Brix asks her mother what her maiden name is.
Agnes's mother is Irish ( from the 1891 census)
Mary says in a very broad Irish accent......Collins.
Now look at the spelling again on the m.c. I can see Culyanes.
Try yourself saying "Collins" in an Irish accent............Culyanes???!!!???
Best wishes
Jean
