    My gt gt gt gt gt grandmother Rachel Bell was born in Farlam in 1725. She was baptised on 26/02/1725 & died in 1808. Her father Jon Bell was born in Farlam around 1700. I am wondering whether I am related to this Bell family. I have been interested reading about Joseph Bell, chief engineer on the Titanic in this week’s Cumberland News.

    Did any of Mr. Bell’s relatives ever emigrate to Nova Scotia,Canada? My grandmother’s maiden name was BELL. I was always told that some of my ancestors came from Ireland and was wondering if there’s any connection. Any information would be a great help. Thank you.

      Thanks for your enquiry about your Bell relatives. So far as Joseph Bell and family are concerned I am unaware of any connection with Ireland. I know that the Bell name is very prevalent in Northern Ireland, and as you will know there are quite a lot of them to go through when doing family history. Good luck with your research and hope that you found this site of interest to you.

      Thank you very much for contacting me explaining your family connection with Joseph Bell. I have passed on your info to Ann Freer who is the originator of the family tree you refer to. If it is possible for you to send me digitally any family images of Derek, yourself and Sam, that I could add to the website, that would be good?

    I was wondering if im related to joseph bell. A lot of the family names are very, very familiar. My great, great grandmother was Icena Bell born 1882 in durham and married george henry bagshaw (b.1883) in Cardiff in 1904.

      As far as we know, the history of Joseph Bell’s family does not have a Icena Bell, or any record of George Henry Bashaw. The surname Bell in family research is so numerous, and especially so in Cumberland as it was known, that it takes a lot of sorting out. Sorry not be more helpful and good luck with your research for the future.

      My comment is directed to Sarah concerning Icena Bell and George Henry Bagshaw. They are my great grandparents. I have a lot of information about the Bagshaws, however I can not find birth records for Icena. Please contact me

      • castlehead Says:

        I can confirm that there are no Icene Bells or Baghaws in a direct family line to Joseph Bell. Good luck with your future research.

    […] This account of Bell land ownership in Farlam, would be a little easier to understand if read in conjunction with the Bell Family Tree available here: https://josephbellengineer.wordpress.com/genealogy/ […]

    Thanks for website which is a great source of information. I’m doing my partner’s family tree and arrived at Rachel Bell (born in Farlam 1699 – died 1756). Rachel Bell married George Stobbart in 1718 in Farnam. Does anyone know if there is a connection with Joseph Bell (of Titanic). Rachel is my partner’s 6 x Great Grandmother. Thanks in advance.

      Hello Ray, Glad that you find the site if interest. In our Bell family tree on the site, you will see that we have Rachel Bell 1723-1810 could this be the same Rachel you refer to? It is always a hard job sorting out their relationships since there were so many Bells in and around
      Farlam. If I can be of any further help then do let me know.

      Hello Alison, Thanks for your enquiry about your family connections to Joseph Bell. As with all family research, it is a case usually of
      trawling through the birth, marriage and death certificates to make sense of the connections. You have a splendid county archive in
      Carlisle to help with your research, as well as a excellent City Library. As to ‘how recent does it go’ ? All that we know currently is laid
      out in the Bell family tree to date. Wishing you much success with establishing your past.
