Adam Bell b 1785 Bedrule

[Cousin Cath]

Adam Bell was baptized 29 May 1785 in Bedrule, Roxburghshire. His parents  were Thomas and Margaret Bell. I am hoping that someone has more information on them - their dates; their parents.

Adam Bell emigrated to Canada and married Isabella Oliver (baptized 21 Jan 1795 in Westerkirk, Dumfries, Scotland) on 1 Jun 1820 in York, Upper Canada. I suspect that Adam and Isabella had a large family in Canada...However, I only have a few names - so if anyone knows names of other children, I would appreciate them. The children that I have include: Thomas 1821; Francis 1828;Adam 1830;Elizabeth 1832: Robert 1838.

Adam died 24 Apr 1844 in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.

The only likely looking marriage I can find for his parents is Thomas Bell to Margaret Mabin 10/11/1771 Ancrum, Roxburghshire.   They had at least 2 children baptised in Jedburgh i.e.
Isobel bp.11/10/1772 and Margaret bp.24/5/1781.   Then looks like they moved to Bedrule where Adam bp.1785 and a John bp.1/5/1788.

Best I can do.
