I wonder if any of your readers can help me with my family history?
I am trying to trace John Kettlestring - a York confectioner who was born around 1820. He had a daughter Sarah Kettlestring who was born in 1840. Sarah married Edwin Gell on September 25,1862 and their son George Gell was the father of my mother, Lucy Bell, who was born on November 3, 1901 at 28 Jackson Street, York.
The family of George Gell - wife Hannah, daughter Lucy and two sons Leslie and Herbert - lived in the Groves Lane area in Providence Street, I think.
