It's me again!
I am looking for information on my great grandmother Mary Ann Gell or the Gell family.
She was born sometime in the 1870's or early 1880's in either Stockton or
West Hartlepool (as it was then). I have had little luck, made worst by the
confusion with the name Gill. She married Edward Hill, a sailor/sailmaker from
either Stockton or West Hartlepool. I have the diary he kept on one of his voyages
and his, rather unfortunately named Seaman's Discharge Certificate.
Can anyone help?
