Thomas BELL b. 1799 d. Shorngate Allendale 1873 (Feb 09 Red)
Seeking any information regarding Thomas BELL born Alston Cumberland in 1799. He settled in Allendale and married a Nelly SPARKE (known as Eleanor) in 10/5/1823 at St.Peters Allendale. I descend from their son Thomas born in 1827. They had several other children being Jane (1824), Ann (1829), Robert (1832), Mary (1835), Hugh (1835) and William Sparke (1840) who I believed died stillborn but there is no death certificate! Nelly died in 1840 as a result of this birth and Thomas died in 1873 at Shorngate. He was a miner. I would dearly love to obtain photos or any information about these people as I have nothing at all. Perhaps you are a cousin and know much more?? Thanking you in anticipation. Please write soon.
