Charles Trojan Bell, born Edmonton in 1883. Married in Kingston (Apr/May/June Qtr 1902) either Annie Wallace or Lily Wright, had 1 daughter that I know of Doris Maude Bell (my nan) born 1905 in Barnet and died aged 54 in 1959.

Desperately trying to find out which one is my Grt Nan and other ancestors of the Bell clan.

Really appreciate any other help or links anyone can give me.

Thank you

Sue

The easiest way to find out would be to buy your nan's birth certificate.

Thank you for Military records - they are amazing!!!!!!!! Can't quite believe it!!!!!

Never known anything about my Grt Grandad or that side of the family (they were never spoken about as my nan died when my dad was quite young!!!)

So it really is so lovely to know my family now - thank you from the bottom of my heart.
