    Would like some help in tracing this couple pls they are my 2x gt grandparents, William Bell b1850's Trimdon, Durham and Alice b 1850's Washington, Durham (think her maiden name is Fletcher) but would like confirmation on that. I have them on 1881, 1891 and 1901c, William is a Coal Miner if possible 1861 & 1871c on both if this is at all possible, Bell is another one of my needle in a haystack ancestors. Thanking you so much in advance. Sharron

    Hi Sharron,



    Is there a reason that you think Alice's maiden name was Fletcher? Is it a name known in your family?



    Between 1872-1874, I can find 3 marriages for a William Bell to an Alice.



    Alice Scott marriage 1872 - from 1871 census born and living in Whickham, Durham.(1857)



    Alice Turnbull marriage 1874 - from 1871 census born in Washington and living in Usworth, Durham (1858)



    Alice Fletcher marriage 1874 - from 1871 census born in Usworth and living in Felling, Heworth, Durham, (1856)





    Marriages Jun 1874



    Bell William

    Buglass Christopher Atkinson

    Reid Jemima

    Turnbull Alice



    Gateshead 10a 1132





    The 1881 census has Alice born in Washington, so I won't do any census loookups until you have given your opinion or if someone else has any ideas on it.

    Hi Starlight was not sure of the maiden name for Alice it was just a guess, but by what you have given i think the Alice Turnbull could be the right one as she is born in Wahington, Durham, on the 1881c William, Alice and the children where living in Usworth Durham so she looks to be promising.

    Hi Sharron,



    It might be worth hanging onto this one. Take a look at the order of the names compared to Alice and William's children. When you have William's family you might be able to see if they followed the C19 naming pattern. Looking at the one Kate has posted for William, then the child Mary Ann could be named after his mother.
