Annie Bell , Hexham
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 19:01 GMT (UK) »
Any help with my favourite brick wall would be appreciated

I have a GG Grandmother Annie Bell living in Hexham

1891 age 31  birthplace London  occ. Washerwoman Married (no husband visible)
children Jane Ann 1879, Esther 1880,  John 1886

1901 age 45  birthplace Kingstown Scotland  occ. Washerwoman Single
children Jane Ann 1879, Esther 1880,

1911 age 46  birthplace Kingstown  occ. Hawker of white stone Widowed

Despite the variations in age and marital status I am certain these records are for the same person, I would like to find Annie and / or Jane Ann in 1881 and I would like some idea of where the Kingstown she gives as her birthplace might be and why she may have given London as her bithplace on the 1891 record ??

Thanks for taking a look,

Kingstown, scotland is either east lothian or murray. there are several others in England incl Kingston on Thames in london, maybe the enumerator misunderstood her - perhaps the london one is the only one hed heard of!

Many thanks Sharon for the baptismal reference
and Diddy for the Geo references, unfortunately the only info I have, is gleaned from the census returns, I have no info on any possible marriages .
I will be passing through Hexham at the end of Feb maybe I could do some groundwork and doorknocking !
Many thanks

Hello, Yes Esther married again,
my mum remembers uncle Jim,  who was Gawens brother. that would probably be the James Robert Parker you have
I am not sure that Robert Bell you mention is anything I have

Gawens marriage certificate indicates Robert Parker was his father (deceased), his witness is James Robert Parker who is probably his brother (Uncle Jim to my mum)
I have Esther's and Roberts Marriage certificate, Robert Parker is listed as a Labourer and his father Robson Parker a Tallow Chandler, one of the witnesses is J D Ritson her brother in law married to her sister.
Gawen Bell's birth certificate only lists a mother Esther Bell, and no father, but was later known as Gawen Parker Bell, my mum only knew him as Gawen Parker and found the name Bell on paper work when he was older.
I thought I had Esther's birth certificate, but just search through my certificates and cannot find it.  I think I might just be thinking of the marriage certificate which does not list brides father under where the grooms father is listed.
hope this might help with research.  But no further on with Esther's mother.  I also was trying to track down where Kingstown is and is how i came upon this chat forum,  it does list her in one census as from London, and then Kingstown Scotland on others, I think Scotland is the more likely place for her birth.
Any help would be much appreciated
