In 1841, Michael & Anne, with Cain, Lazarus & James (3) are on Hunslet Lane, Leeds. Then, near Waterloo Road, Leeds, there is a Lazarus Bell, with wife Ann and sons Barnabas & Charles. Looking at the IGI, This older Lazarus was married to Ann Harker 15 Nov 1810. They had a bunch of kids: Michael, Ralph, Mary, George, An(n?), Esther, Margaret, Elizabeth, Charles & Barnabas (at least), all christened in Mucker. This Lazarus was probably christened 31 May 1786, in Grinton. His father's name was Michael. There is a marriage for a Michael Bell & Mary Raw, 14 Jun 1785, in Grinton. Not sure any of these are related. In the 1851 census, it looks like Michael lists his birthplace as Banbridge, which could be Bainbridge. Ann, James & a bunch of younger children are with them. They are in Armley. Ann & James are listed as born in Arthington.
