The only Bell child with mother's maiden name of Izzard coming up on FreeBMD is Arthur.

The burial records for the church will probably be held at the local register office, try contacting them. I have checked the NBI and Alice isn't listed on that, I can't check for the child as you don't know his name.

Sorry, I can't help with your nan's brother, my subscription to Ancestry has run out so I can't check the full indexes. You will need to find his birth first though.

Hi, i am very new to this and dont know if anyone can help me or advise me. i have 3 problems.
Firstly my grandad recently died,he always wanted to know about a baby brother born and died before him. All we know if the baby,a boy,lived 6 weeks and we think died of "convulsions". My grandad was named Arthur bell,born feb 23rd 1920.The baby was most likely born 1918-1920 near hoffleet stow or bicker or possibly horncastle near Boston in lincolnshire. The parents names are Arthur bell 1899 and Alice Maud sarah fairweather Izzard 1899. Alice died aged 27years when my grandad was only 7 from malnutrition and influenza, she was, we believe buried in swineshead near boston churchyard but there is no gravestone and the church has no vicar. The previous vicar said there are no records of burials in the churchyard (how can this be?). My grandad would have loved so much to know where his brother and mother were laid to rest. Can anybody help me?

My next problem is that since losing my grandad my nan would love to know about the baby brother born not long after her. We know nothing more than that. The babys parents were George ward 1899 and Ella Cox born september 1897 (7a 556) , the baby boy would have been born most likely in 1924. My nan Joan Bell was born december 1922. They lived in Lincolnshire around Old leake,swineshead, boston. We know he was buried but nothing more. How can we find his birth/death and where he was buried?

If anyoone can help in any way it would mean so very much to my nan and my family and would be very very much appreciated.
