Bell/ Flack Family - any
« on: Sunday 20 December 09 21:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I am looking for family of William John Bell who married Mary Jane Flack. I think Williams father was John but I am not sure.  Any information at all would be a great start.

Thank you

 :-\ Duh!  Agnes Jane Bell born 93 Lepper Street, Belfast on 4 Jan 1889
William JohnBell, her father, I imagine must have been born about 1845ish.  I have found lots of Bells on the Clifton Street Cemetery online register but not what I need next.  Williams wife was Mary Jane Flack but I cannot find any Mary Janes only Mary Ann's. My granny, my mum and my sister are all Jane in the middle of their names.
I think Williams father was John but it is a guess really and trying to recall conversations I overheard when a child.

Thank you

  I cannot find a marriage on Emerald Ancestors.

Thanks Aghadowey. I had found Rebina on Emerald ancestors, but did not understand why I couldn't find her as an adult.  I have not been able to find the mother Mary jane.  I have found 1 adult and 1 child shown as deceased in 1901 but don't know if they are my Mary Jane Bell and whether they are mother and child.

I appreciate your help.

Kind regards

Thanks very much for your kind help. I have found a couple of the children but as everyone is called by the same or similar names,  it is very difficult to assess who is the mother.
