| Recorder's Notes | Robert Bell was born in Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. He married in 1850 Mary, daughter of William Chubb, Hairdresser of Speen who took in Mary's cousin, Henry Gore, later to become the famous Victorian painter, when his father died. Robert & Mary first lived in Luton, Beds. where they had their eldest child William & where his occupation was as a Tea Dealer like his brother James. By 1861 they had moved to 1, Cheap St, Newbury and they were running a Drapery. He soon moved to 31, Cheap St (next to Plenty's Marine Engineering), & carried on in his trade as Draper & Tailor until he retired by 1911. In his later years, after his wife died, Robert moved to 5, Craven St (now Road) by 1911 where he died. The couple had 6 sons and a daughter with two dying in their childhood and 3 boys dying as young men (see below). Only Walter Henry, Architect & Surveyor, & John McNay Bell, Draper, outlived him. Other Bell relatives, William Chubb and Henry Gore are all buried in NRC. Their granddaughter, Elsie, daughter of Walter, is buried in the neighbouring grave, P(D)8 after a tragic death.

THE LATE MRS. BELL
The funeral took place yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon of the late Mrs. Mary Bell, wife of Mr. Robert Bell, of the Market Place, whose death took place on Saturday in her 84th year.
The ceremony at the Cemetery was conducted by the Rev. E.H. Titchmarsh, pastor of the Congregational Church.
The mourners were Mr. R. Bell, Mr.J.M. Bell, and Mr. W.H. Bell (sons), Mrs. J.M. and Mrs. W.H. Bell (daughters-in-law), Mr. W.H. Gore (nephew).
Floral offerings were contributed by the children, grandchildren, and other relatives.
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. Penford and Son.
Mrs Bell's great age linked her with a generation that has almost passed away. She was a daughter of the late Mr. Chubb, who, and his father before him carried on a hairdresser's business opposite the celebrated “Pelican” in the stirring days of the coaches, when Speenhamland was the busy end of the town. Mrs. Bell retained a vivid recollection of the animated scenes witnessed daily in the “Hamlet” in her girlhood days.
