Nairnshire / looking for Samuel Bell died abt 1756 Auldearn
« on: Monday 02 March 15 12:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I am looking for my direct ancestor Samuel Bell who died about 1756 in Auldearn. His wife was Mary Logan. I am descended from his son Robert Bell who came to Canada about 1767. Samuel and Mary also had two daughters, Jean and Emelia. Jean was born in Forres and Emelia in Auldearn. Can someone please tell me the names of burial grounds or cemeteries in or near Auldearn that have Bells buried there. The birth record for Emelia has Samuel's surname spelled as Bel and Mary's surname as Logon. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
eastcoastgirl

Moray (Elginshire) / looking for Samuel Bell died abt 1756 Auldearn

Greetings,
My direct ancestor Samuel Bell is a mystery. All I have been able to find thus far is his marriage to Mary Logan on 24 July 1732 in Forres and that he died about 1756 in Auldearn. Hoping someone may know the names of burial grounds or cemeteries in or near Auldearn that have Bells buried there. Samuel's son Robert is my ancestor and he came to Canada sometime around 1767. I do know that Samuel and Mary also had two daughters, Jean born in Forres and Emelia born in Auldearn. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello bevj,

My father hired a researcher in Scotland in the 1980s, long before the internet was popular, to look up his Bell ancestor. The researcher was able to find Robert's parents and wife in the local parish records in Elgin. She found land ownership records for Robert's wife, and was the one who reported to my father that Samuel Bell and his wife Mary had two daughters in addition to son Robert. I'm not certain why the daughters' information cannot be found on the familysearch website.

M.A.

I'm trying to locate ancestors in Scotland. My direct descendant, Robert Bell, came to Canada sometime about 1767 with his wife Lilias (Hendrie) Bell and son Alexander who was born in Forres, Moray in 1756. I'm trying to find a passenger list or ship's register to pinpoint the exact date they came to Canada. I know Robert's father was Samuel Bell and his mother was Mary Loggan and he had two sisters Jean Bell and Amelia Bell. I'm looking for information on his sisters as well.
