Title: William and Grace BELL family
Post by: Frisbee on Thursday 13 October 11 16:46 BST (UK)
William BELL of Gosport, bachelor and gunner on the HMS Medea aged 25 married Grace BROWN widow of St. Thomas, Winchester aged 25 at St. Thomas, Winchester on 7 July, 1784

They had at least 1 son George BELL born (may be in Gosport).

George was sent to Sydney, Australia as a convict in 1819 "Earl Spencer" and died there in 1851.

Trying to find Grace's previous marriage and her son's George Birth/baptism date and location.

Anyhelp would greatly appreciated.

George was baptised in Gosport on 27 October 1793 in Gosport.

The couple had another son - William - baptised 26 September 1787, also in Gosport.

Grace's previous marriage is not proving easy to find.  :(
