I am trying to find out more about my Grandmother May Bell. She was born about 1886, on her Marriage Certificate which I have she was a 19 year old Spinster living at 34 William Street, Chester. Her father was John Bell (deceased) grocer. On the 1911 census which I have she was age 24 years from Barrow on Furness, Lancashire living with her Husband John McWilliams, son John, daughters Esther & Mary at 21 George Street, Birkenhead, Cheshire. May died about 1934 Birkenhead, Cheshire.
Help with finding more about her would be appreciated.

Richard - would it be possible for you to combine your postings about the same family please. Members will then know what details have been found.

Just makes it easier to have one posting, so other members can see what has been found, and don't repeat look ups - hope your knuckles have stopped hurting!
