Lancashire / Thirsk Bells married Kirkham, Cartmel & Woodplumpton
« on: Tuesday 22 March 11 01:49 GMT (UK) »Hello all,
I am researching the Wensley Bells of Yorkshire who have members who married out of their area.
It would appear that the Wensley Bells travelled extensively which is making tracking them down quite difficult, perhaps someone has come across these marriages and may have more information.
I have William Bell married at Cartmel 14th July 1573 no wife given,
His son John married Elizabeth Harreson 3rd Nov 1610 at Kirkham, he died at Thirsk.
William's brother Thomas was born at Grimsby and married Agnes Kirkham at Garstang 10th Dec 1574 his son Richard Bell married Alice Hudson at Woodplumpton 13th Aug 1610 she was from Middleham Durham.
Thomas and William may have had a brother Edward who married Agnes Harreson at Sedbergh too, ( yes I know that is Yorkshire )
The parents of Thomas , William and Edward were Thomas Bell and Dorathy Hilroy who married at Wensley 1541 and the first part of their family were born at Wensley.
My earliest ancestor appears to be a John Bell 1580- 90 he and a possible brother were at Sedberg and may have a connection with Cartmel as a Edward was born there about this time.
I have a Thomas Bell from Cartmel who was burried at Sedbergh about 1700 too.
Any help appreciated, Mike
