Dumfriesshire / Searching for Samuel BELL
« on: Monday 27 December 10 03:45 GMT (UK)  »
I am hoping you may be able to help me.
 
I am trying to find more information regarding the parents of Elizabeth BELL.

Elizabeth BELL was baptised 11 July 1806.
Parents are listed as Samuel BELL (Innkeeper in 1806 in Dumfries) & Jean/Jane CHARTERIS.

Elizabeths siblings are; John Charteris Bell (b1808), Alexander Scot Bell ((twin (b1820)), James Bell ((twin (b1820)). There is a large gap between John, elizabeth and the twins but it is atrue record of birth.

The mother, Jane CHARTERIS is also a bit of a mystery as i cant find anything on her either.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have the birth records for the children but nothing on the parents including their marriage which doesnt show up on Scotlands GRO either.

Thanks,
Sue

Dumfriesshire / Bethel Cottage & "Register of Corrected Entries"
« on: Saturday 30 October 10 03:45 BST (UK)  »
Evening All,

I am hoping that someone may know something about Bethel Cottage in Greenbrea, Dumfries, and its occupants between the years 1904-1906.
Also does anyone know exactly where Bethel Cottage was/is?

I am searching for anything on a Jane Paul who lived at Bethel Cottage when her daughter Catherine was born in 1904. She was still living there in 1906 when she married to Mr Charters.

There is a bit of a mystery to the whole thing including a "Register of Corrected Entries" attached to the daughters birth record.

Any stories or info would go a long way to putting the puzzel together.

Many thanks
Sue
