BELL Family History

This section is concerned with the genealogy of the BELL family and especially those related to James Bell, born 1834 in Dumfriesshire and Ann Irving, born 1835 in Carlisle.

The James and Ann had 8 children. Nos 1, 3 and 4 were registered in Carlisle. Nos 2,5,6,7 and 8 were registered in Newcastle. Having settled in Newcastle, the family all seemed to work in a soap factory. Annie Isabella was actually born to the eldest son William John and his wife to be, Margaret Robson out of wedlock but James and Ann "adopted" her as one of their children. So, although she was married as Annie Isabella Bell, her birth was registered as Annie Isabella Robson.
