As i understand it Sir Charles Bell had no children.

My side of the family is descended from Sir Charles Bell's brother whose name i believe was John. One of my aunts is custodian of certain items of Sir Charles Bell that have been donated to the Middlesex Hospital. We do still have some items that i believe belonged to Sir Charles along with books that related to him or members of his family.

I would be happy to know the reason for your interest and if necessary i can put you in touch with other members of my family who may have more information.

Regards

Mr Chris Bell
(Surrey, England)
