Title: BELLS Of Prudhoe and Mickley
Post by: hexhamlad on Monday 03 February 25 18:06 GMT (UK)
Looking for post 1901 details of three siblings : Isabella Bell  B 1892
                                                       
                                                                     Robert Bell    B 1895

                                                                     Margaret       B 1897

Three youngest children of Routledge Bell ( 1852-1903 ) and Hannah  ( Blackburn ) ( 1856-1914 )

Lived in Prudhoe and Mickley, Northumberland , I have them up to 1901 census but then no trace.

1901 shows all 3 b Hexham but 1911 shows Prudhoe

Mother Hannah & son Robert are together in 1911

Margaret is Maggie in 1911

Isabella not yet found in 1911. 

You would have to look for marriages for Margaret & Isabella to find them in 1921.  Details from the 1921 census that require a subscription are not allowed

1911 possible for Hannah and Robert

and an alternate 1911 possible  to the one CaroleW gave you for Margaret/Maggie
(not saying that one is wrong, just trying to find all potential entries )

Have you considered purchasing the digital images of their respective births to give you an exact dob. This could well give good leads in the 1939 register.

war register

Bell A   Hurtle   23 May 1888

May as birth month could be OK.
If this is the right birth
BELL, BELLA       
Mother's Maiden Surname: BLACKBURN 
GRO Reference: 1891  J Quarter in HEXHAM  Volume 10B  Page 361

Don't like the 1888!

In 1939 John & Bell/Bella are at the same address as 1921.

Private Robert Bell, 4th Battalion Northumberland Fusilers
Army no. 1578
Died 19 July 1915

CWGC entry as R Bell
https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/164950/r-bell/

Soldiers Died gives birthplace as Mickley, Northumberland.
He should be in Registers of Soldiers' Effects on ancestry.

Announcement in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle, 27 July 1915, seems to confirm it is him, though the free text is not good (I think it names parents as Routledge and Hannah)

Also something in the following day's Chronicle, 28 July 1915. Age 20.

I think this will be necessary for the girls.
Was Bella born 23 May?
I can't find Margaret Whittle in 1939 :(
There may though be a possibility or two in the later death indexes, those from 1969 onwards.

Thank you for the reply, I see Hannah ( Widow) and Robert at Mickley in 1911, not seen Margaret (Maggie ) Nothing after 1911 comes up as likely. Will keep looking.

CWGC records list him as R.Bell, no details of parents or home location. Routledge and Hannah would be correct for parents as is age. Can't find the Evening Chronicle report.

Thank you for posting the informatio, Much Apreciated.
