Ah, Michael Foulds has already obtained details of this bell. Here's the 
relevant entry from our asbtract of the Gorbals Foundry records - with 
additional notes in the right-hand column

Mr. A reckoned it B flat correct; Entry in UGD 17/3/1 dated 29 December 
1890, cast a 35" bell for Hamilton Memorial Free church, Clydebank. 
Inscription "Erected at Christmas 1890. Rev. Buchanan Blake, B.D. 
Minister". 8-0-20 in B flat; 1928 catalogue lists Clydebank Hamilton 
Memorial; The bell that was supposed to have gone to Italy was the one 
cast for Clydebank Hamilton Memorial Church in Dec. 1890, 35", 8-0-20. 
It did not go to Italy. It has now turned up at Whaley Hall, Whaley 
Bridge, Derbyshire, apparently, though I've not yet seen it. I've 
confirmed this with church secretary of present Clydebank Church, and 
inscription matches (Ex.inf.Michael Foulds -- message to John 
Greenhough, Oct 2010); The fine gothic building of 1884 with its tall 
spire still stands in Glasgow Road, Clydebank, but ecclesiastical use 
ceased in the 1980s and the building has been vacant and deteriorating 
ever since. The bell was sold to Fr. Jamie McLeod in 2007, and is now 
hung for swing chiming at Whaley Hall, Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire. The 
inscription is:- ERECTED AT CHRISTMAS 1890 REV: BUCHANAN BLAKE B.D. 
MINISTER JOHN C. WILSON & Co., FOUNDERS, GLASGOW (Information, MF, Fr. 
Jamie Macleod, Peter Hayward))


The other ten ???
