You might recall we corresponded at length recently re our Bells/Shimmins et al, as I did with Viv also.

I only wanted to suggest that I believe there was no blood connection between Robert Alfred BELL and his spouse Annie BELL. They both had the same surname, but that is all. I have traced both families back with regard to any connection and found none - only through marriage.

Just my 2 cents worth, but should you discover otherwise I would be pleased to know.
