Thanks Isobel
The census info confirms what I have found - I think the George & Henry Bell in the census have the middle name Senior
The story is;
Amy Green married James Attwood in Hull.
They had 5 children (surnames Attwood)
Amy then 'runs away' with Henry Bell (known as Harry) and is found in Salford, 1911
Amy takes 2 of her children to Salford (they call themselves Bell)
in the meantime her husband James Attwood is in Hull with the 2 remaining / living children
while in Salford Amy / Harry Bell have 4 more children (2 sets of twins all died at birth)
Amy / Harry return to Hull (1913 ish) where they have 3 more children - Leonard Bell (my grandad), Marion ATTWOOD Bell & Morton ATTWOOD Bell !(certs state Harry Bell as father)
1923 - Amy marries Captain William Richards in Cardiff - 2 of her sons Sydney Attwood & Leonard Bell live with her in Cardiff. 1 remaining son James Attwood stays in Hull
Never found a death for her first husband, she never divorced him, never married Henry Bell.
On all birth certs, father is always Harry Bell, grocer / fruiterer
According to Leonard Bell's marriage cert, (1936 Cardiff) his father was GEORGE Bell - merchant - deceased ?
