Family History Beginners Board / Re: Francis Bell born Scotland ca 1660-1665

Thanks for your help Joboy. I have found the original sources to most of your info except the bit about Elizabeth being a minor and pregnant when wed. Do you know where this came from?

Joe - Ruskie has already found the posts I was referring to and it turns out they were from you. Have you made any progress on Francis Bell? I am also interested in your comment in one post that Elizabeth was a minor who was pregnant when she married Francis in 1692. But she was born in February 1668 so she would have been 24 when married. Her eldest child William was born in 1693 but she might have lost a first baby. Do you have a source for the pregnant when wed comment? I am a direct descendant of Francis Bell.

I have found quite a few old (10+ years) posts about Francis Bell who lived in North Petherton, Somerset, England. He was allegedly born in Scotland and married Elizabeth Speede in North Petherton in 1692. In the old posts it was suggested he may have been from Hawick, Supplebank or Cleughheads in Scotland. Has anybody found him definitively?

I see that this is a very old post but there may have been some progress. I also am trying to find where Francis Bell came from originally. He married in Elizabeth Speed in 1693 in North Petherton, Somerset. Has anybody made any progress?
