George Bassindale Gell

George Bassindale Gell is one of my paternal ancestors. Another name for George was George BASSINDALE. Edwin Gell was the son of George Bassindale Gell, as was my Grandfather Albert Elijah. They had a sister, Annie, and I believe another brother called George Henry and another brother who died quite young. It was in that generation that some people took the name Bassindale and some Gell. (Thanks, Jenny, for sending me this information!). So, I guess this gentleman in the photo was my Great Grandfather.
