Notes - Luke Bell came from a long line of shepherds and farm labourers. The 1881 census shows Luke and Annie living with their two daughters in a grocer's shop in Houxty Bankhead, Wark on Tyne, Northumberland. Luke is working as an agricultural labourer and as a local Methodist preacher. In 1891 Luke was working as an Insurance Agent and still living at Houxty Bankhead. Luke was also a musician. It is believed he was an organist as a book of his church organ music survives today. In 1901 Luke was living in Fearby, Yorkshire with his wife and daughter Emma. Luke was working as a Road Surveyor.
Luke's daughter Frances was keen to emmigrate to the New World, but Luke was not interested in emmigration. Shortly after Luke's death his two surviving daughters and his wife immigrated to Canada.
Luke died between 1901-05, but his death record has not been found.
