Pdadme...

This may interest you.
My ancestry, as far as I can trace, goes to Wolsingham.

There was a George Bell, baptized 25 Dec 1831 in Wolsingham, lived on Angate St. Uppertown and migrated with family to Australia, arriving Sydney on 14 Nov 1879.
He married Margret Little in 1852 in Wolsingham.
George was my G2 grandfather and the above is 100% correct.

I've trace back earlier but am unsure of the data.
I believe George's father was Robert Bell born 1807 m Mary Collingwood.
I think Robert's father was also a Robert b. 1776 and listed on above Robert's baptism as a farmer.

Common names of males were; George, Robert, Christopher, William. 

The above fits in with your posting re names and farmers.

Let me know if the above is of interest.

Thanks and regards,
Peter Jones

mikecurran ... hello.

I'm interested in Robert Bell b 1778 and William b. 1732 and would appreciate any info you have or point me in the direction of where to find this Robert and William.

I believe a Robert Bell was born Wolsingham in 1807, married 21 Feb 1831 to Mary Collingwood. Your Robert could have been his father.
Robert b.1807 (don't know how many sons he had) named a son George b.1831 and who in turn named his sons (oldest first) Robert, Christopher, George, William, Joseph; three names mentioned in your post. Fairly common names, but perhaps there's a connection.
tks
