Hi Oldbear,
Yes as far as i can make out my family on the paternal side came from Strathmiglo in Scotland origionally. My Uncle name is Rosslyn Crawford Bell and as far as i have been told the name Rosslyn comes from The Earl Of Rosslyn somehow. I can only accurately go back as far as my great grandfather who lived in Bangor in Northern Ireland and died in 1926. His name was Francis Bell.
I cant be sure when the first Mavor went to Northern Ireland or Ireland as it was before 1921. i suspect it was around 1850 onwards,
Thanks for getting in touch,

Regards Gerald

Hi,

I'm researching my Crawford family from Cairncastle, as far as I can make out they were from Lisnahay South. I'd love to exchange info to see if we tie up.

Hi my name is Gerald Mavor Bell, i am the GRAND-SON of Margaret Crawford. She was born on 21st May 1914 and married my Grand Father William Rosslyn Bell in 1937. She went to India as a young woman and worked as a Governess as far as i can tell, then returned to Northern Ireland at some point and met my grandfather, She then moved to Bangor Co Down where she lived until she died. My Gran brought me up and i was very close to her. Sadly she was the last of all Joseph Crawfords children to die on te 25th November 2004. Her sister Nellie died a few years before that of Alzhiemers as did her husband Andrew MaDeol, ( i check spelling of surname).  Nellie had 2 children,  They both still live in Larne.  Jenny died in 1986 after a stroke, i knew her to as i used to visit her and Nellie with my Gran when i was a child. Jenny had 2 daughters who still live in the Ballygally area,I,m actually looking in to my family history hence finding this message from you, funy enough i have been trying to locate a grand uncle of mine who i,m named after who left N ireland in 1923 and went to Australia. He joined the 2/18TH A.I.F and died on the 8th Feb 1942 when Singapore fell to the Japs in W.W.2. I know he must have lived in the N.S.W area as he enlisted in TAMWORTH and EAST MOREE is mentioned. I also remember my ran talking about the LILLEY name. I hope this helps, please get in touch, regards Gerald
