Hi Donna, welcome to the boards.
'any information' is very general - what sort of info do you have already, and what are you after? Obviously be a bit careful what you put if this person is living!

Have you checked out Freebmd? It is free to search and the best site for BMD's 1837-about 1955. You can search for the births of any children with the surname and MMN Bell (MMN only on indexes after 1911). You can also search for the marriage of Ruth Bell to a Smith.
If you are struggling because of the Smith name you will need his birth cert. Thank God they gave him these first names!
