Please could someone with full Ancestry membership look up the record in Liverpool Baptisms of Margaret Ann Bell (born Liverpool, 1871) parents William and Jane Bell and also her sister Amy Sophia Bell (there seems to be 2 listings for her, not sure if it is one record or two...)

Many thanks

Lou

Thank you patchem
Anything for Amy Sophia Bell (not sure if she was also 1871 or 1873)?

As far as I can see Amy Sophia was born in 1869 (as patchem found) there is a death for an Amy Bell (born abt 1870) in Jan 1870, Liverpool, which I think is her.
On the 1871 census there is another Amy (under 1 mo) recorded, but no Margaret Ann who was actually born on the day the census was taken so whether this Amy was actually Margaret and they later changed their minds about her name, before her baptism or whether Margaret and Amy (number 2) were twins, I'm not sure...
Then there is the Amy Sophia born in 1873 (as margee found)...
Acording to the 1911 census records William and Jane Bell did have 2 children that died. Whether they were both Amy's though, I have no idea!

Ahhh! It's making a bit of sense, I think!
The family were living at 10, Langsdale Street on the 1881 census, so the 1873 birth ties in well.
Now, if I could only figure out if the 1871 census Amy is really Margaret...
Nothing's ever easy, is it? ;-)
Many thanks for your help patchem and Margee :-)
