Nancy Regina Emily Meugens Bell (2 September 1844 – 30 August 1933) was a British translator and author of partial Belgian descent.
Home life
Bell was born to Peter Joseph Meugens (1808–1886) and Elizabeth Caroling Bennet (1807–1845). Peter Joseph was born in Antwerp and became a naturalised British subject. He variously gave his occupation on census returns and birth registration forms as colonial broker or merchant. Bell's mother died before she was a year old, and her father quickly remarried to Emily Wallis (1821–1883) before Bell was two years old.
Bell was living with her father and stepmother in Wandsworth at the time of the 1871 census. She was already writing translations, with her first major work published in 1873. By 3 April 1881 (census night), Bell was boarding at 61 Elsham Road, Kensington, London, and described herself as an authoress and teacher on the census return.
In 1882, she married the landscape painter Arthur George Bell (21 February 1849 – 24 September 1916). The couple had three children, two boys and one girl (the youngest). These were:
Kenneth Normal Bell (1884–1951)
Eric Arthur Bell (1885–1912)
Irene Agnes Bell (1887–1946)
The family lived in Southend-on-Sea on 5 April 1891 and described themselves as an authoress (Nancy) and artist (Arthur) on the census return. In 1891, they moved to Southbourne, Dorset (near Bournemouth), where they stayed in two different houses before moving to Rasgarth a house which Arthur Bell had designed and built with a good eye to natural light. The Bournemouth Graphic described it in 1903 as an ideal painter's home.
