Hi Linda,

I have just come across this web site. I am a direct descendant of Matthew Bell MP. My Name is Matthew Bell!!. My Grandfather is still alive age 101 and going strong. He still has a memory of an elephant. As far as I know the main line of the family emigrated to Canada after selling Woolsington (hence the paintings turning up in Canada). My Grandfather has a painting of Woolsington above his desk. I will print off all your correspondence about Woolsington and send it to him and hopefully he will be able to shed some more light.
long live the bells
Kind Regards Matt
