Help in finding details of my great grandfather
Tyrone
I am trying to trace the Irish roots of my great grandfather, Patrick Bell, who emigrated to Australia in
1844 aboard the ship Wallace which arrived in Sydney on 16 Feb. The ship's records indicate that he may have been married andthe wifeand a infant boy died en route to Australia. The only information
that I have about his Irish ancestery is that he was born in County Tyrone in 1816 and that his parent's names were John and Ann or William and Margaret Bell. Patrick Bellmarried Anastasia Grace in Melbourne in 1845 and had four sons, John, William, Thomas and Patrick who is my grandfather.
I would appreciate any information that may throw some light on Patrick's Irish ancestry or information how I maystart investigatinghis origins.
