[Dryden]

Could some one please look up the 1841 census for me for the following family?

George Bell, b. 1802, Canonbie.
Sarah Eliza Stothart, wife, b. 1806.
Andrew Stothart Bell, son, b 1828, Canonbie.
Mary Bell, daughter, b. 1830, Canonbie.
Francis Bell, son, b. 1833, Canonbie.
James Bell, son, b. 1833, Canonbie.

Margaret Bell, daughter, b. 1838, Canonbie.

In the 1851 census they were living at Woodhouse Canonbie and George Bell’s occupation was a Draper/Grocer, His eldest son Andrew Bell occupation was a Draper/Grocer’s assistant. George Bell’s wife Sarah E. Bell was born Jamaica.

Kind regards,

Thank you very much Margaret 55 and Joe for the above information from the 1841 census on my Bell family. They seem to of disappeared from the face of the earth after 1851 as I have not been able to find them in any of the Scottish or English census apart from there son Andrew who is listed in the 1861 census for St Bartholomew The Great, London but nothing after that date.

Thank you both once again.

Dryden.

A book containing the memorials in Canonbie Churchyard has recently been published by the Dumfries & Galloway Family History Society  www.dgfhs.org.uk 

There are a lot pertaining to Bell but one in particular relates to the immediate family about which you have posted.

Main details are:-
Mary, daughter of George Bell in Woodhouse, died 23rd December 1830 aged 10 months.
John died in infancy.
Margaret died 29th February 1837 aged 8 months.
Sarah Elizabeth died 8th January 1840 aged 5 weeks
George his son died 29th June 1853 aged 9 years
George Bell died November 30th 1859 aged 57 years.

George Bell's death certificate should give his parent's names, I believe.
