Selina MILES (nee White)

[plimmerian]

My friend asked if I could find anything out about his ancestor - I had a look and found Selina MILES died in West Derby Reg Dist in 1903 - 1901 finds her in Everton, Lancashire and it lists her birthplace as Plymouth, Devon - she is in Everton again in 1891 - but in 1881 she is in Stoke Damerel, Devon

Found a marriage of Selina White to Alfred Miles in 1879 in Plymouth Reg Dist

I wonder if she is the Selina Mary Beer White born in 1856 also Plymouth Reg Dist - there is a Selina White in 1860 born in Plympton Reg Dist but I suspect she is the Selina who married in 1878 in Plymouth Reg Dist

Is anyone researching the WHITE family of Plymouth - thank you!

Hi

With Selina on the 1881 census there is a, Bessie White, b 1860, Plymouth, could this be Elizabeth Beer White b 1859 Plymouth Devon 5b 241

Hi

That's a good thought - especially given that when Elizabeth Beer White, daughter of William George White, cabinet maker, went on to marry in Stoke Damerel in 1882 to Charles Rock, one of her witnesses was Selina Miles

Here they are on the 1861 census all born Plymouth Devon

 William G White  27 occ Cabinet Maker
 Selina White  29
 Selina M B White  4
 Elizabeth B White  1
