I am trying to find out about my gggrandfather's third wife Emma Bell, born in 1864 in Sunderland to Robert and Sarah Bell.
In 1871 and 1881 she is in Bishop Wearmouth with her family
In 1891, 1901 she has returned there with two children as Emma Little.
In between we know that she married John Little in 1883 in Warrington and lived in Newton-le-Willows in Lancashire. She was 19, he was 70(!). He died in 1889.
At the moment my sister and I think she was sent away and married off.
There must be a connection to have brought her so far away. But what?
The Bells were a glassmaking family, her father Robert was a factory manager, but I can't find where he worked or anything else about him so far - there are so many Bells in the area.
Anyone know anything about this family?
