Found a marriage for
Groom: Ralph Standing
Bride: Catharine Buchanan
Place: Egremont Township
Date: August 1, 1892
Registration Number: 004393
-
Thanks for your help, definitely the correct Ralph Standing, I am not 100% sure on the Harry Bell, is there anywhere I can check for Harrys marriage details, as this may give me more detail, his parentage etc.
-
For the Harry that genealiza found, his first children were born in England so I would suspect he married in England. There is a marriage for Harry Bell and Ann Chant in Yeovil, Sommerset in Dec. 1882 on Free BMD.
There is also a birth for Hannah Mabel Bell in Yeovil on Free BMD for Dec. 1883
Do you think your Harry was ever in Yeovil?
Do you have Ralph's marriage certificate? If not I can get a copy next time I'm at the library if you'd like.

Here are the census listings for Harry Bell, born England, living in Michigan for the years 1900-1920. This is from the Heritage Quest census index and they have yet to finish indexing the 1930 census. I retrieved my information from Ancestry.com but their index adds in too many other people and databases. If you don't think this is your Harry, is there someplace else he could be living?----Genealiza

Hi Genealiza
No reason for my Harry to be in Yeovil, copy of the marriage certificate would be great. Thanks a lot
-
hi Karen
Could you do me another favour and check out the Harry Bell that was aged 45 in 1920. He is about the right age and Wayne is more likely as thats where Ralph was.
Thanks alot
