Hi,

Heres your James Bell and Margaret Colquhoun
1871 Census.....

James Bell
Age: 26
Born: Glasgow
Occ: Stabbeman (Think is suppose to read Stableman)
Living @ Backland G (sounds like a farm)
Wife:
Margaret
Age: 22
Born: Glasgow
Children:
1. Grace ..age 2 ..Born: Glasgow
2. Marion.. age New born 1mo. Born: Glasgow
Visitors:
John Colquhoun
Age: 78
Born: 1793 Glasgow
Living: 48 Rotten Row
Occ: Canter
Helen Colquhoun
Age: 16

Now it says John is Brother-in-law but age is either written
wrong or should read father-in-law. Ithink last.
Helen it reads sister-in-law...

Hi,
Me again:::::1900 Census.............

James Bell
Age: 54
Occ: General Carter
Living @ 159 Gargard Road
Wife:
Margaret Age 51

Children:
1. James Age 21.. General Laborer
2. Ellen Age 17.. Pottery Worker
3. William Age 15.. Rivet Heater
4. Maggie (Margaret) Age:13 at school
5. Lizzie (Elizabeth) Age: 6

I really had a good laugh at this family....the reason why
was that they have moved everywhere my family has
been...Lived on Rosemont,Lived on Garngad Road...both
places almost next door...My Family Was Paterson & Browns.

Hope this gives you some dates closer to the deaths of the
children they lost....If I can help further let me know ..just
PM......Sounds like a strong family to go threw so much and
stay in close and go forwards....Crookedtail
