Ernest c1897. Hannah c1899 and Joseph c1901. All born in Carlisle Thomas`s parents were John Wallas Bell born c1826 in Wigton. He was a shoemaker, and Hannah Brown born c1836 in Liverpool. Thomas worked at an ironmongers and at the time of his fathers death in 1895 he was living at 1 Grahams Court.Milbourne St Carlisle.

I don't know how relevant my little bit of info might be, but here goes. My g.grandmother was Hannah Eleanor Bell, born around 1866 in Northumberland. She married Henry Dockerty/Docherty Oct-Dec qtr 1883 South Shields district. They lived in Jarrow (where I'm from and some of the family still are) and had 8 children.

Would be intersting to know if we have a connection.
