OOPS!
Meant Irish BC for David 1913 (not 1911).
Judith

Good morning all you lovely people.
Sorry about the slow response but like many an 'old timers' I need my sleep.
Although my Uncle did get a researcher on the Bell side back in the 70s he couldn't afford to keep going with the research although he did receive info back as far as his Bell Grdparents in the 1901/11 census.
I have done the same with his Thompson Grdparents and after hours of looking anywhere and everywhere had discovered the name Brown.
My Uncle has also allowed me to put hisfamily onto my tree - hence these enquiries.

As a result of Vicci's info I have now applied for what could be his missing brother David's Scottish DC. If necessary I will then apply for the Irish BC for David b1911.
I have also looked in 'search all trees' but felt partly daunted at the 300 options but as a start contacted a possible one - thank you Reggie.
Thanks Gins, mgnv and Eringobragh, you have all filled in with some more precious info as well.
On my Uncles behalf and mine, many heartfelt thanks for looking all this up.
Judith

Have just found a posting by Judith on 6th march....

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/genealogy_chat/thread/951721 (page 14)

She has 1901/1911 census aleady and John Bell's address is her family.

And I wondered about this for William' parents?

The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:
http://www.groireland.ie/

The Irish 1901/1911 censuses are free at:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

Most City of Dublin parish registers are free online at:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/


I think you will need David's date of birth - you might get this on a baptismal record, but most likely, you'll need his b.cert or the cheaper image of the original registration - Scottish d.certs have the d.o.b. from 1966 on.
You can see what's on a d.cert at:
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=554&628

If they're old enough, Scottish images of B/M/D rego's are pretty cheap - abt NZ$2.55 per image - old enough is 100/75/50 y - so, e.g., a 1937 (or older) marr is cheap - after that the price is almost 10 times that.
All Scottish BMDs can be purchased thru SP, at the site I gave above.
Assuming David knew his parents, he would name them on his m.cert, and if known to the informant, on his d.cert too.

The most recent available UK census is 1911.
After that, you'll need electoral rolls or city or phone directories to track adults.
By the time he would have married (if he did) women 21 y or older could vote, although after 1929 (I think) the minimum age for marr was (and still is) 16 y.

Hi Judith

I dont know what your opening post said as its been RRd, no idea why?

If you could post some more info about the family, parents, siblings to David and any marriages, it might help

Is this the birth of your uncle?

Sorry Vicci, I didn't answer your question.
No, my Uncle has no idea who the people in Scotland were and Heorge Noel and Joseph in Dublin don't pop up in his Bell line at all.
Thanks

Thanks very much for that Vicci.
Strangely enough my Uncle is called William Herbert Bell.
Now that's making me think that perhaps David was the older brother who died at birth and they brought the name Herbert through again with my Uncle.
I will definitely follow that up as I don't really want to givel my Uncle that news until I get the records and check it out.
It's hard to shatter memories.
Once again many thanks
Judith.

Do you know the names of the relaitves that he went to live with in Scotland and where in Scotland?
He may have changed his name to their name.
The scotlanspeople wesbite has 1 death record for a David Bell with mother's surname Thompson, to view the record you wold have to buy credits on the wesbite.

Could someone please help me with this pressing problem.
My Uncle William Herbert Bell b Feb 1914 Donnybrook Dublin South.
He is still living now aged 99yrs in NZ and is desperately searching for any information about his younger brother David Bell born Dublin 1915/1916 but sent to relatives in Scotland as a baby.
My Uncle never saw him again.

Father: William Bell b c1886 and bapt Parish Church Raheny Dublin Went to England, remarried to Bertha Wilkes then came to NZ where he has since died.

Please please - can anybody help??
Many many thanks,
Judith
