Selina Farrington of Trench
« on: Thursday 26 May 05 15:52 BST (UK) »

From census data I know that Selina Farrington was born about 1873 in Trench/Wrockwardine. She married John James Ainsworth in Shifnal in 1898.

A detailed search of  1837online for 1873 and 3 years either side fails to reveal a GRO reference.

I've written to the Telford & Wrekin Registrar who was similarly unable to  find a record of her birth.

Does anybody know what church she might have been baptized in and where those parish records might be consulted?

The birth should have been registed, as it was a legal requirement to do so at that time.
 It suggests that either the wrong name or area is assumed.

How many of the 1881-1901 census have you found her in?
Are her ages and birthplaces consistent?
What details can you give from the marriage?

Dear "Tati"

Thank you so much - I am convinced that this is her and am now going to apply for the birth cert.
