John Bell bachelor, painter, married Ellen Worthington, spinster, 25 Dec 1824 at Manchester Cathedral. Yes, one of those Christmas Day weddings at the Cathedral.
Of course this could all be a big fat red herring.
The Newby where John Bell and Joseph Todd were born seems to be in or near Carlisle as their birthplaces vary between Newby and Carlisle on the censuses.
Have to leave it there for tonight anyway! I will probably log on tomorrow to find out that you did all this years ago and ruled them out...
(But I hadn't noticed that Rochdale Road address in post #1 until I reread through the thread just now!!)
