William Bell ran a business creating headstones and foot stones for graves in 1819.

Naval officer, politician and author Carlyon Bellairs was educated at the Royal Naval College and aboard H.M.S. Britannia. He entered the Royal Navy in 1884, became a midshipman in 1886, and received a special promotion to Lieutenant in 1891 after obtaining first class marks on all his certificates. He invented many devices adopted by the Royal Navy, but was obliged to retire in 1902 due to the failing of his eyesight. His second career as a Member of Parliament began in 1906 when he was returned for King's Lynn; he represented this constituency until 1910, and Maidstone from 1915 to 1931. He was also the member for Lewisham on the London County Council. Bellairs was active on a number of important Parliamentary Committees. Though offered a baronetcy in 1927, he declined on principle, for he objected to political honours. In 1954 he founded and endowed, in memory of his wife, McGill's Bellairs Biological Research Institute in Barbados. Bellairs also wrote poetry: The Sowing and the Reaping, 1919; Ghosts of Parliament, 1929; and a history of the Battle of Jutland.

William Henry Bellamy was a poet and lyricist. He wrote war songs at the time of the Crimean War, as well as lyrics for many sacred songs.

Édouard Lefebvre de Bellefeuille was born in 1840, in Saint-Eustache, Quebec.

He was a lawyer, journalist, and author who marked the history of Quebec law. In 1860, when he was only twenty years old, he published a "Thèse sur les mariages clandestins". He also published many annotated editions of legal texts and their amendments, namely the Civil Code of Lower Canada (1866, 1879, 1885, 1889, 1891) and the Municipal Code of the Province of Quebec (1879, 1882, 1886) which subsequently became the preferred working tool of several generations of lawyers. In addition to the legal works, he was the author of “Le Canada et les Zouaves pontificaux: mémoires sur l'origine, l'enrôlement et l'expédition du contingent canadien à Rome” (1868) and a “History of the Parish of Saint-Eustache” (1871). He was also one of the founders of the Compagnie de chemin de fer de colonisation du Nord de Montréal, better known as the p'tit train du Nord, and became a member of the board of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.

He died in 1926.
