Title: William GELL b abt 1717, Wilberfoss, East Yorkshire - son of Richard Gell
Post by: kiwicatz on Thursday 26 January 17 07:47 GMT (UK)
I would love any information about these two people. William was my 4th great grandfather, and I'd love to know who his mother was, and who he married. Williams children were Jan b abt 1738, William b abt 1741, Thomas 1745 - 1836, Edward 1748, and Jospeh 1751.
Anything would probably be a plus.
Thank you
Jan Moon
