Hello Paula,
This could be a stretch, but my GGGgrandparents were William McCartney Campbell (born 1794 Scotland) and Susanna Eland (born 1861 Lancashire). One of their daughters, Anne Campbell (born 1831 Yorkshire) married Jonathan Bell of Cumberland; my GGgrandparents. Their first 4 children were born 1854-1863 in Lancashire while the last two were in Yorkshire. Their 3rd-born, Mary Susanna Bell and husband Austin John Cross (b: 1851 Liverpool) were my great grandparents.

All my Elands so far are from Yorkshire, but the Bells are pretty evenly split among Yorkshire, Lancashire and some in Cumberland. I don't have a James Bell or Mary Eland specifically listed (perhaps just YET). But there seems to be an awful lot in common here and I know at least "Eland" was not as usual a name as the others. Am still working on this line and if any of the above rings any "Bells" (pun intended) with you or anyone else checking here, would love to discuss it further. I have plenty more details. Good Luck!

OH! I just sent the above note in response to you on another Bulletin, but that one referred to JAMES Bell while this one mentions JOHN Bell as Mary Ann Eland's spouse. I have FIVE of THEM; 4 from Cumberland and 1 from Yorkshire. I also have a William Campbell Bell (b: 1859 Lancashire) and a William Eland Bell (b: 1899 in Yorkshire). Hope these additional details will help.

Sincerely yours, Shari Hogan
