Hello I'm trying to find out what my family's connection is with William & Elsie BELL (nee BAILEY). They were married at St Andrews Cathedral in 1907 and had 3 children: Stennet B BELL who married Dorothy KELLER and had 2 sons: Stennett & William Alice who married William FINCKE and had: bill, Beth & Anne Janet who was a librarian at the Uni of Hawaii. Elsie Bailey came to Honolulu in 1894 from Canada but she was born in Wales (Newport, Monmouthshire) William BELL was born in Scotland and came to Honolulu in 1902. After they marriage they moved to Kahului, Maui but came back in 1910. He managed a family store: Bailey Furntiture Store, before starting the Ho-Lokahana Soap Works which he sold in 1951. He was president of McKniley HS. PTA in 1927/8 and a past master of Honolul Lodge 409. They kept in contact with my Welsh grandmother (Edith Beynon Howells, nee Batten) and sent her a food parcel during WW2. In the 1950's they visited the UK and I have photo's of them with her,. They also sent her magazines about Hawaii which I loved to read as a child. I think Elsie had a brother Harry BAILEY whose wife was called Florence: their daughter Florees (?) married Davis Brown and had 2 girls: Florence Louise & Kathryn-Marie. Any contact would be appreciated. Mary Bryceland Researching BATTEN & BEYNON, Milford Haven (esp. Capt.
