George Bell

[triode]

Hello,
I am looking for information on a George Bell. He was born approximately 1870 and was Married to Hannah Bell ne Foster. I believe he worked at Naworth castle in Cumbria. He died approximately 1893. Hannah got remarried to Hugh Nixon a fish monger . Hannah was born in Corby Hill around 1866 and died in Gateshead in 1923. I am also trying to locate George’s parents.
If someone could shed some light that would be great. I have been snookered with him for a while now !
Thanks.
Terry

Do you have the marriage certificate?
His father's name and occupation will be on that.

I can not see a marriage between George Bell and Hannah Foster. However, there is a George Bell born in Q4 1871 in Brampton District...mmn is Nichol.

In 1881 and 1891 he is with his father James William Bell , and siblings in Brampton...this would fit with George possibly working at Naworth Castle. In 1891 James and george are both Fellmongers.

James Bell-aged 24- married Mary Nichol-aged 22, 28.8.1859 at Hexham. James' Father was james Bell, Mary's father was Thomas Nichol.

There was a death of George Bell, Brampton District, in 1890, but born 1832.

I think this is him in 1881. Same area as Hannah and childrens' births:-

Thanks everyone for the replies. From the information and links you have posted it seems that Hannah Foster is my great Grandmother but George is not the father of my grandfather. The census shows her 3 sons  and her as a widower at 25 but my grandfather was born 1893 about 2 years after he died. Yes Her mothers maiden name was sarginson and she was born in 1866. Anyway I don’t think I can go much further with this line.
Thanks again.
