Find Ancestors

Hello

I am trying to find the name and date of birth of John Bell's father and mother. John was born in 1859 and died in 1936. He married Elizabeth ??? born in 1863 and died in 1951. Between them they had the below children

William, Annie, Albert, Maud, Dorethy (known as Dossey) and Alexander.

Can anyone help me find the name of John's father and mother, along with their DOB's.

Thanks

Mel

To Find out John's parents you'll need

1 of the childrens B/C for mums maiden name..
then you'll be able to find their marriage..from that you'll have Johns dads name...then he can be picked up on the census

Is this the correct family?

Hi Andrew

That is the correct family but I am after Johns mother and father.

Thanks

Sorry i didn't realise you want this handed to you on a plate

Speculation

IF the above census record is correct, this is the only John Bell born in South Shiels at the right time, but only certificates will confirm details.
