I am looking for the family of Duncan Bell, in the Census for 1891. In the 1871 Census Duncan was living in Osprey Twp. with his widowed mother Christina, his brother's Donald and John,and sister Flora. In the 1871 Census he was with his wife Sarah and daughters Anne and Catherine, in Proton Twp. with Sarah's father Neil McMillan, and her Mother, Catherine MacDonald. Both the Bells and the McMillans had emigrated from Tiree Scotland. In the 1881 Census Duncan & Sarah were living in Egremont Twp. with children Catherine, Christina, John, and Margaret, daughter Anne was living with her widowed grandfather Neil McMillan in Proton Twp..
I next found the family in Owen Sound in the 1901 Census, where son John was listed as the head of the household, also living there was his mother Sarah, sister Catherine and a brother Neil, Anne and Christina not listed as well as their father Duncan. Margaret was married to Willian Francis Edmonstone, and livind at Vails Point in St. Vincent Twp.

If anyone has seen this family in the 1891 Census, or has information on any member of the family, I would be very greatful in you contacted me.
