Title: Nelson and Bell families North Yorks
Post by: The Mc on Tuesday 27 July 10 17:30 BST (UK)

Hi all.....I am researching my grandma's family ancestry and have now got stuck.

She is Alice Nelson, born Barmby Moor near Pocklington in 1893.
Her father was Robert Nelson (b. 1860 Sheriff Hutton) who married Martha Bell (christened 28/1/1863 Northallerton) in 1886 in Skelton on Ure.

Robert Nelson's father was also Robert Nelson (b.1822 Terrington) who married Maria Robinson (b. 1826 Knapton) in the York District in 1844.

However I cannot find out any more info on who their parents were as there are too many permutations! Familysearch.org had proved very useful but any further help would be much appreciated.

I have established that Martha Bell's mother was Mary Bell, but I have no further info on her, her husband, where born, married etc. can anybody help? Have I got my info correct?

Hi

Terrington is covered by the IGI presuming he gave his birth place correct. There is a christening for a Robert Nelson to George and Nanny, 24 Nov 1823.

To confirm father's names you would really have to get the marriage certificate of Robert and Martha Maria.

Thank you Evie for that info. I will look further into that now. Looks promising. I may be able to get the parents info off familysearch.org which I use for pre 1837 research.

Hello,

I can certainly help you with the Nelsons as they are all in my family tree. I have traced the Nelson tree for a while and have stacks of information, this research is still ongoing at the moment.

I do not however have any information on the bell family although Martha is listed in the tree as marrying a Nelson.

If your interested email me directly to simon.nelson7@ntlworld.com

Thanks Simon Nelson
