Hi,

BELL Eagle aged 36, Elizabeth 39, Edward 7, Fred 5  James 3 and Clara infant arrived in Rockhampton Nov 1883 aboard the HAMPSHIRE

There was also a James 22 aboard - although not on the same page. Margaret is not listed in the index as aboard the same ship.

Departed Plymouth 3  Aug 1883  M1706 (IMM/126 Page 102)

Eagle BELL is listed with an intestacy in Brisbane Court 15 Jun 1889. His death is registered 1889 #4908 (18 Jan 1889)

Eagle's brother Benjamin was my gt gt grandfather. They moved from Methwold Norfolk to Bolton c1860 with the rest of the family. I searched for over 13 years until I located him in Oz and his family records until 1930's. I still live in Bolton and work near Eagles place of work in 1881. I have a few photos of his fathers grave and his siblings records. Eagle seemed to follow them making it quite easy to locate. The name was used as a middle name, surname and Christian name for about a century.
