A PEDIGREE OF A FAMILY NAMED BELL

OF HUNDITH HILL IN
COCKERMOUTH, CUMBERLAND

Part of a small archive relating to this Bell family, the
pedigree was written by one of their number in an otherwise blank booklet
printed in the late 19th century. It is not clear whether some of
the dates given relate to baptisms or births, the dates being pre-fixed solely
with a ‘B’. Many of this family were staunch Quakers, and some of
their correspondence is published separately (see under correspondence).
