William was born about 1793 at Eccles Berwickshire in southern Scotland. He married Isabella Thompson Clazie (also written Claisie, Claizie, Clazy, etc.) in 1851. The marriage record was oddly worded:
William Bell, of the parish of Coldingham, and Isabella Thomson Claizie, of the parish of Eyemouth, were duly proclaimed in Eyemouth Church on the Twenty-third day of February & on the 2nd & 9th days of March, Eigthteen Hundred & Fifty-one years & were married on the Tenth day of March by the Rev. Wm. Anderson.
They had at least two children together: Agnes, born in 1852 and Janet, born in 1856. They were found in the 1851 & 1861 UK censuses at Eyemouth.
William passed away at Eyemouth in 1863, exact date not found.
