Roger, You have identified one of my "mysteries". I have a photocopy of the Mary (Cameron) Bell Death Registration you have mentioned. From the family and the especially property information contained there I can confirm this is my gggrandmother. It was the death registration and the reference to "Janet/Jessie" Sinclair that led me to the prior contact with Toni who has so much to share on the Sinclair family. I admit I've relied on her information that "Janet/Jessie" was married to Donald Cameron and she has not come across another Sinclair by that name married to a Neil Cameron. The Neil Cameron reference continues to elude an explanation. My working assumption is that much of the information in the death registration is a bit "off" based on subsequent research but ??? Research since for her birthdate on census 1911 (1836) ,1901 (June 1832),1891 ,1881 (age 50),1871,1861 (age 29), and marriage from 1854 (no ages or parents) hasn't helped me narrow it down too much either. The John/Mary Bell family established initially in Eldon Twp, Victoria Co. before moving north to Algoma in late 1870's, had children named Donald, John, Janet(Jessie), Neil(my ggrandfather), Samuel, Alexander, and Margaret. I have not been able to trace John Bell before his farm in Eldon Twp just outside Glenarm (he also had brother Alexander beside him) that came north later on as well. If anything strikes a cord would be glad to explore/share further.
