Julie, your book has arrived!

To contiue the quote above:

"was, by command of the colonel, H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex (uncle of our Queen), buried with full military honours. I well recollect that funeral procession as it passed up Mare-street; but also call to mind that as a little child, I was more frightened than interested in its solemn pomp and music."

I'm afraid that's all there is about him, but the book is going to be a fascinating read. (It's a discard from Islington Libraries.) No mention, as far as I can see, of OH's Blackshaws and Cooks, but I didn't expect there to be.

Many thanks Liza .. sounds like it will be a great background read .. B. will be really pleased too .. Talked to her last night and she can't get over what has been uncovered. All she knew was that her grandmother's name was Maud Bell .. nothing else ... Cheers. Julie

If you mean Thomas Bell, Elizabeth, it was Well Street or Wells Street.

The above-mentioned book has several passages throughout the book dealing with Well Street.
