William Selby b. abt 1844 Lincolnshire

[lizdb]

They are all on 1851.

Really need that marriage cert to Betsy to get a fathers name to see which is him. Also to see if it was a second marriage or not.

[Geoff-E]

Think it must be Ann.

And in 1871 they are at RG 10 4763 41 19

Williams pob given as Gunham? Lincs.

(Red writing, Carolw- so my post doesn't make sense unless you go back to my previous one!)

I see someone has already suggested Gunhouse/Gunness

From Genuki - "In October, 1861, the ecclesiastical parish of Gunness (also known as "Gunhouse") was formed from parts of the civil parishes of Bottesford, Frodingham and Crosby."

[Geoff-E]

There's a William SELBY 10 Gunhouse Lane in 1851 - someone's grandson.

HO107/2117/124/4

Looks as if Martha SELBY may be his mum as they were in Messingham together in 1841.

Possibly this one
Births Jun 1840

Thanks for all the replies, but I'm more confused now !
lzdb:
I can only find one possible in 1851 viz. HO107 2117 30 18, living with Uncle Joseph King. Can you please give me the other possibles.
Geoff-E:
That is a coincidence as I came across a baptism for William Thompson Selby, 5 Jul 1843, mother Martha -will look back as I seem to have lost that link, maybe FamilySearch so !
Overall I think the advice of the Marriage Certificate is the next step, to establish both the father's name (hopefully) and his status (s or wid.)

Thanks again for the help,
Mike W

[Geoff-E]

The one with his grandparents (and Martha!) is to be found (as I said earlier) at HO107/2117/124/4

Sorry, I missed that, they certainly seem to fit with the baptism etc.
Unfortunately, this data doesn't seem to fit the later census data on William ie. 1881 - 1911 gives his birth abt 1844 at North Kelsey, Lincs. (or similar) and his children fit the other information I have ?
What do you think ?

1851 possibles -

HO107 2102 150 7
5 yr old William bn Gunby

HO107 2117 30 18
7 yr old William bn N Kelsey

HO107 2117 124 4
10 yr old Willam bn Gunhouse lane


1871 he gives pob as Gunham, 1881 as N kelsey

Do we have him in 1891/1901/1911 to see what pob he gives then?

That baptism is here (5th on left) http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=631042&iid=375055

lizdb:
1891/1901/1911 all give pob as North Kelsey, although most of them have errors in the transcription.

Geoff-E
That last Baptism seems relevant, 'base born' and North Kelsey seem to fit with your 1871 suggestion (HO107/2117/124/4) and your 1841 Messingham (not far from Kelsey). The only fly in the ointment is the age in both cases (10 & 1). Your other baptism at West Halton agrees with age but not area !
This is very frustrating as it seems that tying up all the facts is close but not close enough !!
Have you any suggestions to what combination, if any, fit ?
