Location: Wigtownshire, Scotland, United Kingdom and Manchester Lancashire, England
Surnames/tags: Bell Marshall
I have hit a brick wall with my great grand father John Bell, who was born in Mochrum, Wigtown, Scotland somewhere between 1854-1859. He was a blacksmith and was married to Margaret Marshall. I suspect they were married around 1880 and their first child Mary Shaw Bell was born in 1881.
The family consisted of 10 children all born in Wigtown, Scotland and relocated to Manchester, England some time before 1911 and appear in the 1911 English Census. Im not sure when he died except for the date of early 1916. His son's marriage was in April 1916 and lists him as deceased. I believe he died in Manchester England, but some research hints on Ancestry have listed him as dying and being buried in Queensland Australia. I have extensively searched Queensland cemetery records and he doesn't appear on any of them.
He was the father of John Bell 1883 -1961 who was married to Florence Ewbank. They were my grandparents and they had three sons: John Bell 1908-1972 (my father) Ralph Higginbotham Bell 1910-2002 Archibald Bell 1915-1988
all three lived and died in Perth, Western Australia, Australia
