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
