1037 BELL George Allan 81y B.22 July 1800, d.17 December 1881, Born Fife, Scotland, Died Lathallan, North Sydney. Husband of Mary Nesbet Bell.

Nisbet and Nesbit more common. Don't know if 1812 is a calculation.

Maiden name Laurie or Lawrie.

I can't find the marriage or birth/baptism for either or any likely family in Fife or Dunse, Berwick in 1841.

Children
Allan Douglas b. abt 1840 probably NSW
Sophia Leonards 1841 * Leonards from the abode in NSW
Charlotte McMillan 1844 * McMillan from a family friend John McMillan
John M 1847 * one source has M= McMillan but there is this

Thanks Emeltee.

A maybe.

The 1812 may not be accurate but I think the parents names on death reg should be correct.

It would seem Mary was named after her mother Mary Nisbet.

One on FS

John Lowrie
Christening Date 3 Nov 1812 ABBEY SAINT BATHANS, BERWICK

I had better check that name further. No other hits for Lowrie.

NSW Death 4327/1881 BELL GEORGE A - ANDREW - MARY - ST LEONARDS

This any help?

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

Didn't know there was a younger son.

Thanks Geoff.

Dunno. If parents on death reg are correct then nothing in SP fits.

Thanks gibbo.

That would mean a marriage to Mary in Australia. Age is way out for born 1800.

Can't see a Henry Allan/Allen on the same Roxburgh Castle.

Death ALLAN HENRY 13434/1893 AGNES - ST LEONARDS

ALLAN Henry Death notice 24FEB1893 Death 84 late of North Sydney Sydney Morning Herald 27FEB1893
ALLAN Henry Death notice 24FEB1893 Death 84 late of North Sydney Sydney Morning Herald 25FEB1893

ALLAN.—February 24, at his residence, Burnbank,
Falcon-street, North Sydney, Henry Allan, aged 84 years.

The new name was Henry Allan, tenant since 1867 of Burnbank Cottage; neighbour, probably cousin, of George Bell. They had arrived in the colony on the same ship; Allan had been successful enough as a pastoralist to live now on has investments; he could describe his occupation as ‘gentleman’ for the rest of his life.

Can't find an obituary. Still don't know what year or on what ship they arrived.
