CHEERS Dea,I checked all my info at Beverley Records Office.I was looking for my great,great grandfathers birth (which I STILL haven't found).His parents were Thomas & Mary Kell (nee BELL).He was called Joseph Kell.I found one to the same parents in 1827 (if I remember right?) but he appears to of died a very short time(maybe days?) later.I have records of both.MY Joseph appears to of been born c1832,but I can't find a birth or baptism record.Married Charlotte Fent in 1854.

I have Catherine,but can't find any record of either?-Mary dying between 1850-51 -as neither appear to be on UK census of 1851 after getting married in 1850.

The death records for John Clifton Kell and Thomas Kell are both official records found on familysearch.org.

Both give father's name as William Kell and mother's name as Mary Faulkner or just Faulkner. So it looks as though the mother of both of these was called Mary Faulkner.

It is true though that there is no proof that she was born in Bedfordshire.

Have you considered the possibility that Mary (Truffit) died and William remarried to Mary Faulkner?

My Thomas Kell-which I'm 99.9% positive is the correct one,married Mary BELL in 1826-NOT Jane Seymour or Mary Farrow? I can't honestly see any truth on Mary Faulkner been born in Bedfordshire? I think they've just made it fit? I think I have the correct William Kell,but,the marriage is a mystery?

............................so same spouse and children nearlly the same, also same father's name but mother is different ?????


Thought this may birth of Ann J.:-

(Births Sep 1841 (>99%)
Faulkner Ann Jane Chorlton 20 195)

but I think this one may have died young:-

Name: Ann Jane Faulkner
Birth Year: abt 1841
Age: 1
Burial Date: 9 Oct 1842
Parish: Chorlton upon Medlock, All Saints
Parish as it Appears: Manchester

Kelzi Report 21 Nov 2016 20:40

My great,great uncle-William Kell,born Pocklington,Yorkshire 1830.He is on census of 1841 with parents.He appears to of married a Mary Trufitt in Pocklington in 1850.I can find no trace of him any later.
A while ago I was contacted by a William Kell from Canada,who stated that his great,great grandfather was called William Kell,born c1830,possibly in Pocklington,BUT-he was married to a Mary FAULKNER.I've had a look at the marriage certificate of William to Mary Trufitt & it gives her fathers name as Thomas CLIFTON. The William Kell in Canada & his wife-Mary (nee Faulkner) had children that had the MIDDLE name CLIFTON-Thomas C & John C.On this Marys headstone it states she was from Yorkshire.I can find no trace of a Mary Faulkner born anywhere in Yorkshire in that time span,nor can I find a marriage record?Is this just coincidence OR has she just changed her surname,for some unknown reason?
ANY help much appreciated.I do know they lived in Barrie,
