There are a couple of possibles on the 1901 census to work forward from.

Do you know the names of his parents and siblings ?

We need more info to find the correct family on the census records, so that we know exactly who we are looking for.

If you do not know, then his marriage certificate should have (at least) his fathers name.

There are 9 marriages in Durham area for 'Joseph W. Bell.
What was your grangmothers name.?

The 'informant' at his death may have been a family member ??
You may be able to trace the name through old electoral rolls ??
