Elizabeth Bell
1867 - ????
Elizabeth was Calum's and Jamie's great
great great grandmother.
According to the 1901 census for Belfast, Elizabeth was born in approximately 1867 in County
Antrim.
On January 5th 1888, Elizabeth married labourer Thomas
Smyth at Berry Street Presbyterian Church in Belfast. Both Elizabeth and Thomas were listed as residents
in Belfast, and both were desribed as being of full age, i.e. 21 or over. The witnesses to the wedding were George
Green and Mary Green, whilst the officiating minister was the Reverend J. D. Crawford D.D.
In
the 1901 census we learn that Elizabeth was a presbyterian who could not read or write, and that she worked as a maid. At
the time both she and her family lived at 87 Canmore Street in Belfast, a second class house with two windows to its front
and four rooms. Also in the house were four borders, 29 year old Martha Jane Bell, a spinner in a linen
mill, and Martha's children, 6 year old scholar Elizabeth, 5 year old scholar Thomas,
and ten month old baby Mary. The census tells us that there was one family resident in the house, and so
Martha must therefore have been Elizabeth's sister or sister-in-law, as she was described as married.
