I have been trying to find Elvia Bell later Henry formerly Bywater for ages. This is the name I have on a birth certificate for John Thomas Bell born 13.11.1864 Marylebone. The father is also a John Bell.I can't find her birth marriage anything. In the 1871 census John Bell the son is living at the address given 18 Little Welbeck St. Marylebone. He is listed as a granddaughter! of a couple called Parker. I can't find them either! Where the parents are -well I don't know. I don't think anyone else will shed any light on the problem but I thought it was worth a try. I know lots of other people are much better at this genealogy lark than I am. Elvia signed the certificate with her mark so I guess that if her name was written down incorrectly she would not realise.
