Vicki - I have only just realised where I heard the name Mercy Sellwood before... she was the second wife of George Selwood of Lane End! But she was born a Harris & a relation of my mother so probably no link

Matt,
As far as I have researched I cannot make any link with the Bucklebury Sellwoods and the Lane End/Brightwell Baldwin ones.

Hi Matt   
So, our thoughts about Edward Fisher were right. Brilliant. Thank you Matt.
Confirming the children of James and Dianna Sellwood would be more than useful.
The Evans of Cold Ash are directly related to the Sellwoods, so yes please, to confirm what I have.
I have Agnes Charlotte from the censuses but not her baptism.
What did the back of the bap entry for Charlotte say?
Those Indentures sound interesting.
If you don't want to put it all on here, email me at home.  As you say, where to start! You are a star.
Yours
Vic

Can anyone with fashion knowledge hazard a guess at the wedding photo's date? That would make it easier to work out the ages of the people in it, and therefore who they might be.

I already hazarded a guess - 1900ish i.e. definitely between 1890 and 1910 (my initial reaction was 1905 based on the late Victorian, early Edwardian costume), perhaps as long as 20 years after the old lady had her photo taken. I would be astounded if the Mercy picture is of anyone in the wedding photo.

H Harbut was active in Newbury in 1872-88 (Northcroft Lane) and 1889-1895 (West Mills).  The only reference I can find of him in Bartholomew St is at 117-8 (Coles Studio) in 1881.  This is a pencilled addendum to the 'Directory of Newbury Photographers' by Paul Cannon. Thomas Cole was a shopkeeper (115-118 Bartholomew St) who, presumably, let a room that Harbut used for a while.  

Sally - 143 Bartholomew St is a new reference - any chance of a scan of the back of the photo? This can be very useful in dating a carte de visite (which I am assumming this is).

Many thanks for all the information particulary the christening of Edward Fisher. I shall need several days  to sift through all the other details.

to Newbury chap this is the reverse of Mercy Sellwoods picture.

Okay, given a back design that simple I will reassess my dating of Mercy's photo to the early 1870s.

Harbut started in Newbury in 1872, I suspect this was an early commission.

But that makes it unlikely to be Mercy Sellwood 1922-1908, the lady in the photo is too old. 

Then again photo dating is not an exact science.

If you want to have a go yourself a good starting point is Roger Vaughan's site at

Matt,
Thank you for all you data.
I am wondering if the Sellwood lady with the pony might be Ellen(butler) Sellwood.
In a letter dated 0ct 1903 Selina (Morton)Fisher daughter of PeterMorton and niece of Mercy Morton Selwood wrote Mrs Sellwood took me for a drive one day and we had the use of her pony and trap one Sunday. Then in Cecilia Millsons booklet Bucklebury Heritage Mrs Paulin mentions her mothers visits to Newbury market every Thursday to buy her own and her Neighbours groceries.Mrs Paulin also recalls that twice a year her mother made homebrewed beer -for the harvest and Christmas-collecting the malt on one of her trips to Newbury,
The old recipe apparently meant starting the beer making at4 a.m and finishing at 10pm. Mrs Paulin was Ellen and Johns daughter.

When she was a girl. Elsie annie Fisher -the youngest of George and Selina kept a post card album.
Some must have been sent inside a letter as no postmark.
I'm attaching the back of a postcard where obviously the signature was considerer not suitable for a childs eyes.  The picture on the other side is of Holly Farm.
Hand written in the corner is  G H White who may be the sender but is also I believe a photographer from Thatcham
