I am looking for someone who may be connected to or who may have any info on these families. BELL & ELVIDGE (Elridge). David Henry Bell and wife Margaret Elvidge and daughter Maria Amilia aged 3 arrived in Australia on the Albatross in April 1853. They were married in Dublin Ireland in 1846. Parents of David Henry Bell(b at sea about 1853) were David Bell and Mary Bain . Parents of Margaret Elvidge were George Elvidge (Elridge) and Catherine Morrison. Any info would be greatly appreciated Regards Kathy
Kathleen - although I have not found a connection to your BELL names in Ireland, I am also researching that name but in Co Tyrone up to about 1903, but with a missing Robert John (or John Robert) BELL in the 1901 census. He would have been aged 20, (or 18 if he had already changed his birth year, which he did on his original birth certificate). Son of Richard and Martha (nee CAMPBELL) BELL, Presbyterians who married at Pomeroy, Co Tyrone in 1877. If anyone out there is connected to my family - I would love to hear from you. Regards, Dawn, Christchurch, New Zealand
