My great grandfather was James Bell who married Mary Mcrae in 1897. His father was robert bell who married agnes ferguson in 1853 in bonhill. I checked for your names in what I know of my tree but couldn't find them. However I am still finding out about this part of my tree. I checked for the name Gordon as I was sure one of my anscesters had this for a middle name. Mary Mcrae had a sister called Anne Gordon Mcrae born 1875 in bonhill. their parents however are John Mcrae and Mary cunningham so perhaps the name Gordon comes from the generation before. I will keep searching. Gill
