Private Robert Bell, 4th Battalion Northumberland Fusilers
Army no. 1578
Died 19 July 1915

CWGC entry as R Bell
https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/164950/r-bell/

Soldiers Died gives birthplace as Mickley, Northumberland.
He should be in Registers of Soldiers' Effects on ancestry.

Announcement in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle, 27 July 1915, seems to confirm it is him, though the free text is not good (I think it names parents as Routledge and Hannah)

Also something in the following day's Chronicle, 28 July 1915. Age 20.

CWGC records list him as R.Bell, no details of parents or home location. Routledge and Hannah would be correct for parents as is age. Can't find the Evening Chronicle report.

Thank you for posting the informatio, Much Apreciated.

1911 possible for Hannah and Robert

and an alternate 1911 possible  to the one CaroleW gave you for Margaret/Maggie
(not saying that one is wrong, just trying to find all potential entries )

This is correct Thank You
