I have sent a message to the Genes Reunited member explaining the challenge and inviting them to pop in!.......We will have to wait and see.

There is no IGI index reference for Upper Denton, Cumberland, so this entry may be of relevance:

Philip BELL
Christening 15 June 1817
Haltwhistle, Northumberland
Father: Thomas BELL
Mother: Mary
Batch No: P002851

But with a name like Bell, and 26 christenings of children born to Thomas and Mary Bell within 20 years, this may be a red herring.

I think this one might be tougher than last month's...
