August 2005 RootsChat Challenge
« on: Sunday 31 July 05 23:52 BST (UK) »
Almost midnight on the 31st July here in Aberdeen and I've been brave, foolhardy or plain mad to host the challenge again  ::)

Somewhat different area of the country to last month:

RG11  5149/128 page 3
Philip Bell  age 60 joiner born Upper Denton Cumberland

Wasn't Denton in the 'Inspector Frost' series?

Have fun.

And this may be Philip's demise:

SEPTEMBER 1895:
BELL  Philip  78  Haltwhistle  10b 224

Haltwhistle is a few miles only from Midgeholme: right on the Cumberland/Northumberland border.

Chances are they were joiners in the pit.  Picture on above link of Midgeholme mine.  Looks as if it could be somewhat bleak.

I've just had a quick look at Genes Reunited and a member  has a Philip Bell born 1797 in Haltwhistle, Northumberland.  Could be linked to "our" Philip ???
