Hi all,

My great great grandfather John James Edwards was living and committed suicide at 1a Grove Mews, The Grove, Hammersmith on 17th May 1886 aged 28.

Can anyone offer suggestions for likely cemeteries in which he could have been buried or find his burial record?

Many Thanks

Hi all,

I have been researching a Bell branch of my family from Monkwearmouth Shore, Sunderland. This question concerns the children of John Bell & Elizabeth Wealands (m. 15 Jul 1802). The had 9 children:
Barbara Bell (1803)
Elizabeth Bell (1805)
John Bell (1807)
William Wealands Bell (1809)
Thomas Bell (1810)
Robert Bell (1812)
Matthew Bell (1814)
Robert Bell (1816)
Anthony Bell (1819)

I viewed the baptism registers for both St. Peter's Church and the Dundas Street Independent Chapel.

The only one of their children I could find in the St. Peter's baptism register was this one:
~~~~~~~~-------------
Robert Bell | b.12 Jun 1812 | c.08 Jul 1812 | 4th son & 6th child of John Bell, Joiner, Nat. of Prestwick near Ponteland by his wife , Elizabeth, late Wealands, Nat. of the shore.
~~~~~~~~-------------

The Dundas Street Independent Chapel baptism register contained these 3 entries in the years 1814, 1816 and 1819.
~~~~~~~~-------------
Barbara Bell daughter of John & Elizabeth Bell
born June 5th - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1803
Elizabeth Bell daughter of the above J & E Bell
born March 2nd - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  1805
John Bell son of the above J & E Bell
born Jan 31st - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1807
William Wealands Bell son of the above
J & E Bell born Feb 2nd - - - - - - - - - - - - 1809
Thomas Bell son of the above J & E Bell
born August 2nd - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1810
Robert Bell son of the above J & E Bell
born June 12th - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  1812
Matthew Bell son of the above J & E Bell
born October 16th baptized October 31st - - - - 1814

Robert son of John and Elizabeth Bell born the twenty seventh
day of October and baptized the fourth of November one thousand
eight hundred and sixteen.

Anthony son of John and Elizabeth Bell
born March 1 1819 in Monkwearmouth
Shore in the County of Durham,
baptized March 4 1819.
~~~~~~~~-------------

Robert Bell's (1812) baptism appears in both the St. Peters register and the Dundas Street Independent Chapel register's list of their first 7 children, but I am not sure whether or not this list of their first 7 children means that they were all baptised on the same day. If so, this would mean that Robert Bell (1812) was baptised twice. Did this ever happen?

If the list of 7 children doesn't mean that they were all baptised on the same day, then why would there be such a list?

Cheers.
