Thank you both for replies. I have information for Martha until her marriage and for rest of family after, but was unable to solve family mystery of what became of Martha after emigrating. A clue that Thomas had a son born in New Jersey suggests he went out to join her for a time. I looked for John Bell in ancestry .com but found too many.
Also I was unsure of what state in USA I should look. I have no information on John Cordener Bell except marriage and likelihood that he was a soldier, as Colchester was a barrack town as was Aldershot.
Eliza Emily her sister also eloped with a soldier.
