Margaret Ann Bell

[JJen]

Did Margaret have a son called James Leslie Bell? If so then his birth record shows his mother's maiden name as McKinney.

In 1914 the proprietor of the Station Hotel, Broom Hill was George Holden. So that's one year that can be ruled out.

In 1943 the licensee was John James.

A free search of the 1939 records Margaret Ann Bell born 1881 living with James L Bell born 1908 in
Consett, Durham. No Robert with them.

My concern with all this research is if you have the correct Margaret Ann. What evidence do you have that Margaret Ann Bell's maiden name is McKinney?
