Thanks

Thanks Astra

I found this marriage record for Arthur Farrell but couldn't find the matching one for Margaret Bell.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Astra

This is definitely them as I know they lived at 8 Salisbury Terrace as this is where my grandad (Raymond) was born. I know that the first son was quite a bit older so this would fit. This is all great but am struggling to trace them back any further. There are hundreds of Bells and Farrells around! My email address is [email protected] and any images/further help would be much appreciated. Thanks again.
