He emigrated to Bocabec, St. Patrick Parish in 1820. Was living with his sister, Catharin Lowden in 1851. He does not show up in the 1861 census, so evidently died between 1851 and 1861. I suspect that he might be the father of Robert Bell and John Bell who emigrated to Bocabec in 1826 at the ages of 25 and 14 respectively. I'm also interested in where in Ireland they emigrated from. Any comments would be welcome.
