Title: Marriage in Sark**COMPLETED**
Post by: max777 on Monday 11 June 12 01:23 BST (UK)
Hi Forum,
I have just recently found a photo of my great uncle (John Bell of Stanhope, co.Durham). On the back of the photo someone has written some info on the family...as per below.
My question is, can anyone point me in the direction of finding this marriage. Would like to know who his Jack Bells nephew and who he married. Cheers..Max

Hi

A quick Google has found that the Dame of Sark was Sibyl Mary COLLINGS who married twice.. firstly to Dudley John BEAUMONT and then to Robert HATHAWY.  She had children with BEAUMONT... daughters were Bridget Amice b 1902, Douce Alianore Daphne born 1910 and Jehanne Rosemary Ernestine born 1919.


Cheers
