Notes: I have searched extensively (but online only) for Thomas's baptism. There are simply too many in Carlisle, many of them illegitimate. I have made a vague guess that his mother was called Jane (his second daughter was called Jane) but even so, there are still at least three illegitimate births of a Thomas to a Jane Bell.
