not on the 1901 census because he was at war?
I found his mum & sister on there but no dad or other sister [harriet] can you help on this as well please.
I went down to the museum at Newhaven to find out about Arthur and they had a photo of him in a football team [ Sussex Portland cement works football club, no date]
If you get time please visit this amazing museum
 so any help on this family would be most helpful
many many thanks

Hi Geoff & welcome to Rootschat 
It might be worth looking at the local newspapers for that time to see if there is an article concerning the presentation.  How did you come by the Rose Bowl?

First of all, I would like to say a big thank you all for your help,
Right, now this is how it started.
I'm researching the history of Fletching Sussex, I'm allways looking for anything to do with the village and surrounding hamlets, one day I looked on the web and saw that a rose bowl was up for sale [the one I mention in my post].
So I brought it. And then I dissided to look up Arthur J Nell,
someone other than me who had wanted to buy the bowl told me that Arthur had came from Newhaven and that he has got Arthur's Boer war medal. So I started looking for him. I have not yet read the papers from that time. but I have read the
book SUSSEX SAPPERS by Morling, and it mentions the fact that Lord Sheffield gives a party and that each man from Eastbourne Newhaven & Seaford are presented with a Rose bowl each. 
I do have the lists of men from Eastbourne Newhaven & Seaford so there must be 100's of these bowls somewhere.
So, Arthur was born 1873 and by 1891 he was working in the cement works, he was also in the cement works football team which I have a photo of, kindly taken from a photo kept by The Newhaven Local Maritime Museum,
by 1892 he had enlisted in the 1st, Sussex Royal Engineer Volunteers, by 1901 he got his rose bowl.
What happen to him after this I do not know yet.
Can anybody put a date to his death please...
Again Many Many Thanks...

Hi Geoff,
I too can't find him on the 1901 census so maybe he was overseas ( the 2nd Boar war) & that's maybe where the medals came from 
His death is not showing on FreeBMD but that doesn't surprise me as that could be as late as  the 1940's or 1950's or later.  Only 1 marriage found for Arthur Nell but that's in W. Derby in 1922 so a bit of a long-shot 
Does this other collector have a family interest in Arthur?  Such a nice story!
