Greeting All, I am again putting a request out for more information about John BELL who was b. c1682 in Monimail, Fife. He married Janet MUCKERS of Monimail and had three children, Kathleen b. 1702; Mathew b. 1704 and Andrew b. 1705. Andrew moved as an adult to Airdrie, Lanarkshire. I am very interested in tracing details about John and his forebears, if anyone could help me please. All I know is, that he was a Tennant farmer of the Earl of Levin in Leone, at Monimail, near Levin, Fife. There is another BELL family in New Zealand whose ancestors originated in Abdie, not far from Monimail. This was a William BELL b. abt 1766, thought to be a son of David BELL. William married Jean Anderson at Edinburgh in 1814 and had several children all were Christened in Monimail. Five of them apparently came to New Zealand. It is not known whether these are connected. Please help me if you can. I am happy to search Bells in New Zealand for those of you overseas, should you need help. Thanks in anticipation. Dell Purdie [email protected]
