George Bell of Coldstream
« on: Sunday 22 September 13 20:21 BST (UK) »
Hi 

George Bell, my 5xGtGrandfather, married Agnes Thompson in Coldstream 2/7/1747. He was, according to the baptism records of his children a Tanner by trade. Is there anyone else researching this family?

thanks

Thank you Mags for your very kind offer which I gratefully accept.

I am very happy with the dates you have given for George + Agnes as I wasn't sure that the date I had for George was the right George - another piece of the jigsaw falls into place :) :).

Where did you find this information as there are 3 other associated surnames I'm interested in i.e Thompson, Lauder + Whinfield

Best wishes
