In 1901, Mary and Beatrice are in an Orphan Home in Helsington, Westmorland.
Maybe George Sharpe wasn't willing to take on the older girls ??? (ie - those older than Dinah)


In 1921, Rebecca, with unmarried daughters Maggie and Selina, and married daughter Dinah plus grandson James Marlborough Wailes, is in Dewsbury.

Additional to my earlier post

As the two Bells are buried with Loudons it's reasonable to assume that they were related, and the MMN for Jack matches theirs.............................


For confirmation.........couldn't find it until the correct year was provided

Sorry - Jack was born 1929.

A gravestone in Leigh cemetery has the following names on it:

1891 Annie Morton Loudon aged 3 daughter of John and Sarah Ann Loudon.

1921 Sarah Ann Loudon

1940 John Loudon aged 80

1944 Albert Bell aged 24

1956 William Loudon aged 83

1999 Elding Bell aged 83

Tomorrow is another day. Cx

Original post states Jack was born 12th April 1921, so how does the birth of a Jack Bell in 1929 fit in?

If William gave accurate age when he married, he was born before Q3 of 1893 .

That's extremely helpful Alviegal and goes partway to explaining the Loudon connection. Many thanks. Cx

ADDED:
Ah, I see - it's the father you want to know about, possibly of the same name .

White space removed. Apologies.

The name William Loudon Bell and the date of birth was given to me by a family member.

There are several babies with the name William Bell born in the 3rd Q of 1893.

I checked the Bell/Ormisher William born 1891 on a military site and was told this:

Please note- this is NOT your William, he appears in 1939 war register in Blackburn with this dob., and has followed the career of that of his father and brother James.

I will plod on. Thanks for your help. Cx

William gave his age as 22 when he married on 12th June 1915
