Evans Bell

Thomas Evans Bell (11 November 1825 – 12 September 1887) was an English Indian army officer and writer.

When Whitley Stokes moved to India, he successfully identified an anonymous translator of Omar Khayyám as Edward FitzGerald, much before this fact was generally known, and named him in the Journal.

In 1864 Stokes attributed the Madras (pirate) edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam to Bell.

[15] Evans's works included: Bell married Emily Magnus (c. 1839–1893), another freethinker who was an actor and classical musician.

Ernestine was cared for by guardians William and Hertha Ayrton after her parents deaths[23] and grew up to be an artist, writer and suffragette.
