I cannot find a marriage for John Bell c 1800 in Cumberland, and Hannah Wardale, b, 5/11/1804 in Cantley Yorkshire. Their 1st child Joseph, b, 6/2/1825 is registered in the Knarsdale Parish Register.
Any help would be gratefully received.

thank you for your help Mike. Since you wrote I've searched Grenta Green, Cumbria, Yorkshire, in fact everwhere I can think of. It might have been easier if I could have traced his parents, but John Bell around here is like the proverbial needle and haystack. Any, and all help would be fantastic.
Regards

This looks like being Hannah Wardle.
Afraid I don't have access to the rest of the household

Hopefully someone else may be able to confirm that her husband is John born c 1800 in Northumberland

Hello 'potty', Thank you for replying to my plea for help. There are three Corby's in Cumbria. Great, Little , and Corby Gates, a farmstead near Alston. The two John's from Great and Little married ladies from Longtown and Brampton, neither of them called Hannah. You have the correct family. I have them in the 1841 census. their first child was baptized in St Judes Church at Knarsedale.........but where were they married? It's the proverbial needle and haystack problem.
Regards
Ann

Hello Mel. the report on Ancestry is wrong I'm sorry to say. I have a copy of the birth certs of two of their children, Hannah 12/6/1839, and Sarah, 7/10/1844. Both certificates name the mother as Hannah Wardale on one and Wardle on another.
I live close to the area where the Bell's originate from, so trust me when I say, if I threw a stick it would hit a Bell as it travelled.

Thank you for your help, if you find out more i'd be very pleased.
Regards
Ann
