  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      I've selected this as the correct baptismal record because a) it's the right date and b) the baptism was at Saint Cuthbert. Her father is given as Henry, but nothing is given for her mother's name. I've inferred that her mother was Sarah Railton based on the date and location of the marriage, but that is the only evidence I have.

      Family Life
      Grace married Isaac Bell on the 16th of November 1783 at Hesket-in-The-Forest in Cumberland. As well as Thomas (1784), Sarah (1785), Grace and Isaac appeared to have had three (!) sets of twins: Isaac and William (1788), Grace and Isabell (1793), and John and Jane (1797).

      Death
      A Grace Bell died in Dec 1828 and was buried on the 7th at St Mary in Wreay. Her age is given as 74, making her birth year 1754, which is consistent.
