Carmarthenshire Completed Requests / Re: Blue Boar Inn St Clears*COMPLETED*
« on: Saturday 27 July 13 19:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi Ivymary

I would love some photographs of the Blue Boar Inn please! do you need my email address? I didn't know the pub was still standing.. The Stonehewer family used to live there they then went on to live in The Boars Head (An old coaching Inn) in Carmarthen and Hugh Stonehewer was killed by a bull in 1801 when they practised Bull Baiting, have you heard of any reference to this, or any other information regarding the Stonehewer's when they lived In St Clears?

Many thanks for contacting me re Photgraphs

Regards Joyce

Apologies to Sentance and Longshanks for not replying to the Bell topic sooner! with my husband being in hospital I have not had a lot of time recently.

I want to thank you both for your information regarding the Bell's, Sentance I will be looking into those booklets you mentioned and Longshanks yes I agree there is always the possibility that they moved into the area! perhaps I should look further afield hmmm!!!!!!

Many thanks

Hi Pam

Many thanks for trying to find Nicholas Bell on the 1841 census, she is proving to be elusive! I can't come up with any more details other than .. father John Bell supposedly a Tailor and Mary Ann Bell who could have been her sister or mother?

If when you next go to the library and have some spare time on your hands I would appreciate if you could check the baptism records between 1825 - 1832 but I do realise your time is precious and if I am asking too much please forgive me.

With kind regards and thanks again

Joyce

Many thanks for your reply regarding the Bell's of Hoddam/Ecclefechan I would be grateful of any details you have particularly John Bell a Tailor, Mary Ann Bell and Nicholas Bell ... do you happen to have the 1841 census for this area or know how I can access it?

Best Wishes

Hi Longshanks

That doesn't sound right! :-[

Many thanks for supplying me with the information about Ecclefechan I found it really fascinating to read! it sounds like an interesting  little village that hasn't changed too much over the years and steeped in history too.

I just hope I can find my Bell connections there... then that will give me a good excuse to visit! it sounds as though your stay there proved successful with your Murray line.and maybe I might have a bit of luck so fingers crossed.

Thanks again.

Kind regards

Joyce

Hi Pam

Wow! :D many thanks for replying I would really appreciate your help here, I think 1825-1832 would be the right time frame.

 Going by  her census details and death cert.

 I have found her in 1851/61/71/81/91/1901 and all list she was born in Scotland but in 1891 it's Hoddam, Scotland and an elderly Aunt ( in fact she was 100 yesterday bless her) remembers her mentioning Ecclefechan and as these areas are in close proximity to one another I assume it must be either one or the other.


I agree Ecclefecan is a lovely name and sometime in the future would like to visit the area, I do hope that it is not to time consuming doing a blanket search of 1841, her age could be anywhere between 8 and 14, also thought I'd mention that one of her sons had the middle name of Irvine which could have been her Mother's maiden name .... just in case it helps a little.

I do hope it turns up something, you have no idea how happy it would make me,I really can't thank you enough for your kind offer.

Many thanks

Joyce

Dumfriesshire / Bell's of Hoddam or Ecclefechan
« on: Tuesday 21 September 04 00:19 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help me? I have been looking for Nicholas Bell (female) born ca 1828 in Hoddam of Ecclefechan according to her marriage certificate which took place in 1849 in Liverpool her father was John Bell a Tailor .... and a witness to her marriage was Mary Ann Bell, could have been her sister.

If anyone has access to the 1841 Census or the Parish Records for her birth or baptism I would be very grateful because I have been stuck for some two years now on my Bell line.

Kind Regards

Joyce
