Bell, Elinor
Birth : 3 OCT 1792 Wandle House, Wandsworth, London, England
Death : 19 FEB 1866 "Moorland", Picton, W.A.
Gender: Female
Parents:

Father: Bell, Daniel
Mother: , Elinor Turner

Notes: Elinor was raised a Quaker and followed that faith all her life, despite her husbands roots being firmly embedded in the Church of England. Elinor dressed simply in grey, with the distinctive Quaker bonnet and plain kerchief, with no personal adornment and used “thee” and “thou” in her speech. Elinor seems to have suffered from ill health in later life and eventually died at “Moorland.” The following eulogy is taken from the journal of her granddaughter, Christine: “The blank that is left at Moorland is very great since dear grand-mamma’s death. She was so good, so universally loved and esteemed”.
