Looking for more information on John Bell, I have a list of his siblings and know who his parents are (William and Jane) but I'm looking to see if, and who he married. He was born in County Durham.

Appreciate any help that I can get.

Have you found him on any census?

The 1881 is free on familysearch.

The 1911 is free to search (pay for credits).
