I believe I have found the correct William Bell with the wife Charlotte. He married Charlotte Ray and I have located the marriage. Thanks for your help.

I do know that one of the William & charlottes were in Salisbury for a bit of time. They are a very confusing lot. They both many children of the same name as well. I think it is Charlotte Ray that is the one I am looking for. Thanks.

I have found on the 1851 a William Bell 43 (1807/8) born alresford with wife Charlotte 44 (1806/7)born Southampton, son James 10 born Salisbury Wiltshire.

Can skp please look up the following on the 1851 census and/or the Hampshire marriage index William Bell born 1803 in Southampton and married to Charlotte? Born 1805 and died 1861 William Bell born 1807 in Alresford and married to Charlotte born 1810 and died 1884 Southampton There is quite a confusion between these two couples which has led us into two entirely different directions and all of claiming the same children. I think the first one listed born 1805 Charlotte Muxworthy and the second one listed Charlotte born 1810 is Charlotte Ray. I would be most appreciative and skp or persons could help sort out this dilemma. Thanks, Marilyn No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
