Mary Ann Bell Nee Clutton

[Milliepede]

Yes you may have to take a punt on the 1909 death and hope it confirms who she was ie wife of Joseph Bell and match his occupation. 

Can I ask whereabouts her mother died in 1907?  Only there was a Clutton death in Manchester which might link the two.  Think it was Jane but right age.

Just looked through my notes and I cant find the evidence, I'll have to do a re-trawl I think.
There are a number of problems with the Cluttons, because they were boat people they could be anywhere and everywhere and whilst I wouldn't rule out the Manchester death, its not ringing any bells but Ellesmere Port is striking a chord.
Theres an issue with Sarah Jane too, there are records with the 2 names, with just Sarah, and with just Jane.
the spelling of Clutton in the records are suspect too.
At some point in time Joseph Bell came to Manchester, why?, I don't know but he's the touchstone of my family in the town, I'm not sure I can say the same about the Cluttons, I'm pretty sure Mary Ann and the kids didn't move here with him and they only arrived after her death but who IS the Jane Clutton who died in Manchester in 1907??

Your not wrong wilcoxon, its not the first time I've had to do it and with it being a direct descendant its a must.
