On one page there's a Jessie Anderson Bell, 8th Feb 1892, Can't quite read where. Andrew Anderson Bell, 3rd July 1896, Woking Surrey Kenneth Malcolm Bell Aug 1897, Co Kildare, Ireland. There's a Reginald Bell, looks like Isle of White for him.

some bits I could read from the photos were: Jessie Anderson Bell 1892 Herbert Roderick Bell 1894 (Woking Surrey?) Andrew Anderson Bell 1896 These must be on the Census? I'll let someone else look them up on the Census and I'll try and read some more.

Hope this is what you want - know what you mean, Ive lost my glasses at mo, and all that upper case typing doesnt help. Anyway - larger bible was presented to William and Angelina Bell on their marriage at Upnor Rochester by Captain and mrs Savage, endorsed L G Bailey Victor (sic) of Upnor 9.12.1878 Contains family register 1861-1892 Smaller bible 1863 presented to William Bell from his mother 1863 Contains a number of photographs, some with the name Cameron written on them.
