Hi
So my Dad was able to provide the following:
John Hogg Bell dob 25 March 1889, married Hessie Haughey 10 December 1920, Died Feb 1955 (my dad was 10 at the time and uncertain of the exact date of death but will check next time he's at the grave). 

Janet (Nettie) - was a teacher, died in her 40s

Margaret (Peggy) - married a McGregor, had one daughter Helen McGregor (never married, now deceased), lived in Crieff

thinks there was a fifth child who died in infancy.

My dad mentioned he had heard of Elliots who were butchers..... would that be a connection to yourself?

Hope this helps....

Thanks very much for this extra information it has been a great help.
I have completed a number of searches bases on your info with great results. I have a full family history on ancestry.com if you are interested.
I have full results on John Hog Bell and his brothers and sister with the exception of James Bell (Dob 1901). You said that he died in infancy but he appears on the 1911 census aged 9.
I have discovered a number of new family members including second cousins (once removed)
Thanks again for this new information
