Hello,
Could someone do a lookup for me, please, in the 1851 census for a John Bull b 1844 and Samuel Bull b 1848, both of Eling. I am almost sure that they are brothers but I have no idea of their parents names. Thanks
Regards
Vicwinann

Many thanks Tanja,
My suspicions were not unfounded, then.

And not only were they brothers, but they married sisters: John to Thirza Hannah Bell (various spellings), and Samuel to Vashti Bell, both of Whiteparish in Wiltshire. The former couple were my maternal great-grandparents. I have further details should you require them.
Regards, Jon.

Hello Jon,
Since my first message I have found the marriages of both the Bell girls abd Bull boys. We must have a very distant by-marriage relationship. I will send a priv mail with my email address. My link is with James Walter Bull who married Kate Elizabeth Bunce in 1895.
Yours
