Bell Family Slaley

[ringwarrior]

Can anyone help me find out about this family please?

In the 1861 Census the family is listed as -
Mary Bell - Head, Pauper Agricultural Labourer, Widow, b c 1819 West Ruffside Durham
William Bell - Son b c 1848 Northumberland
George Bell - Son b c 1850 Slaley Northumberland
John Bell - Son b c 1853 Slaley Northunberland
Thomas Bell - Son b c 1857 Slaley Northumberland

Does anyone have access to 1841/ 1851 census or parish records?
I would like to find out who her husband was and if possible their parents.

Thanks in anticipation

Andy

Hi,

The 1851 census entry isn't very clear but here goes:

Ref: HO 107/2414/288

Parish of Slaley

Address column just has 'Building'

Thomas Bell, Hd, 45, Iron ore miner
Mary Bell, wife, 32,
William Bell, son, 3
George Bell, son

Sorry, couldn't read Georges age or the birthplaces.  Perhaps someone who has a better copy could help?

Thanks a lot Trini

If anyone could confirm the birthplace of Thomas Bell b c 1806 it would be really helpful.

Thanks again

Andy

now on ancestry so a bit easier

both sons were born Blanchland

Mary born Edmondbyers, Co Durham
Thomas age 45 born Co Durham

ancestry transcript says Hunstanworth, but I think it is actually called Hunstonworth
