Hi recently I've started doing a bitta research and am looking if any one has details on the Bell family at 33 Cumberland Street in Belfast 

This was the family of Abraham Bell and Charlotte Bunting, is there any specific angle you have regards information?  If family tree research, you would be as well to post in the genealogy section, happy to provide information there if you do.

Hi thanks for getting back to me yes that is right .. it all started from my great great uncle who was killed in France at 22 he was son of Abraham and Charlotte. I'm looking at the angle of the rest of brothers and sisters who they married etc

Working down the siblings shown (ie. of William J killed in 1916):

- Abraham married an "Agnes" - I think Agnes Rodgers may be a possibility, such a marriage took place on 9 September 1931 and GRONI has the record online (pay to view to confirm) ... also a burial record for these folk here:

- Charles married a "Charlotte", I think Charlotte Hume may be a possibility, such a marriage took place on 6 August 1924 and GRONI has the record online (pay to view to confirm)... the couple had sons Abraham and Charles and the  family lived for some time at 14 Premier Drive Belfast.

- Robert married a "Martha", I think Martha Johnston may be a possibility, such a marriage took place on 7 August 1929 and GRONI has the record online (pay to view to confirm)... this family lived for some time at 111 Westmoreland Street Belfast.

- Charlotte married James Foster on 30 March 1929, GRONI has the record online (pay to view), Charlotte sadly died early, but not before having a daughter Meta Foster, the family lived for some time at 156 Lawnbrook Avenue Belfast... also a burial record for these folk here:

- Charlotte married James Foster on 30 March 1929, GRONI has the record online (pay to view), Charlotte sadly died early, but not before having a daughter Meta Foster, the family lived for some time at 156 Lawnbrook Avenue Belfast... also a burial record for these folk here:

James and Charlotte (Bell) Foster's daughter Meta went on to marry a David Carrigan (Meta = the grave occupant  transcribed as 'Martha Corrigan'), the death notices from October 1973 mention that David and Meta had children called Jim, Brenda and Alison Carrigan.

Hi Abraham Bell was my grandfather he was married to Agnes (nee Rodgers). His parents were Abraham Bell From Ballygreevy and Charlotte Bunting from Maghergale who were married in 1892.

Hi there I'm your mum's brothers (Billy) grandson we were at your mums funeral there last year. I did of bit of research on the family.... The only one left is uncle Harry who still resides at canberia Street. We live in Brookmount Street now. Doing some research we have connections now with mccorys... Graingers... Kinners.. We have a great great uncle who was killed in action in France and I had seen a post that the mccorys put on about their great great uncle Cpl William Bell he was the son of Abraham Bell so that's how that all started.... I have some information about him where buried etc Abraham is buried in belfast City cemetery. Hope this helps 😉

[Geraldine1234]

Hi Bell18. Which one of my cousins do you belong to lol? I was at your Grandas funeral. I know where your Grandas mum and dad are buried but think Abraham and Charlotte must be buried in Glenavy. I also have details about about Williams war grave if you are interested.

[Bell18]

Hi if you have fb? I'm Dinger G bell add me.  I'm Williams son

[Geraldine1234]

Not on fb. I'm Geraldine the eldest grandchild of the Bells. If you check My.Heritage website Uncle Harry and myself have family tree if you are interested. I go under surname of Quinn on it. As you can tell I'm not exactly tech savvy lol. Give your dad my love.

[Bell18]

Ah right... Just a pity I find all my family connections after a death in the family 🙄 I will be sure to have a look. Unfortunately I never see my dad now haven't since my nanndas funeral... Was sort of expected that we would all go our separate ways after the heads of my family passed. If u ever about don't be afraid to call to ours I live in Brookmount Street 👍 take care x
