An amazing story Lionel and my apologies, we sometimes get too ahead of ourselves on the Lanarkshire List. I don't mind helping others with their research but there is no point in duplicating the work you may know already or, as some people tend to do here, do research for you that you are capeable of doing by yourself. Genealogy should be a fun hobby and I do feel that some on the list take away the fun of discovery.
What we will try to do for you is to find things at a local level which would be impossible for you to find from the other side of the world. Scotlandspeople is a great site and it is just as accessible to you as it is to us. We will help when you get stuck.
Part of Dalziel civil parish was in the postal town of Wishaw but most of it was in the postal town of Motherwell. In 1925 the two burghs, Motherwell & Wishaw, merged to become the burgh of Motherwell and Wishaw.
According to the Scotlandspeople free index, John Stevenson Bell was born in the civil parish of Cambusnethan (so most likely Wishaw) in 1906.
I am going to find out where, in Wishaw Main Street number 200 is (or was).
Good luck with your research and get back to us once you sort out the muddle we sent!
