Wow! Firstly, thank you everyone for the time you have spent on this, I'm blown away by the amount of information you have found. It would seem that Selina and George married in America which at least answers why I could not find their marriage here. I'm wondering if she was previously married in the UK and travelled under a different surname with her first husband. I hadn't imagined that the search for James would uncover what seems to have been a very sad state of affairs. I'm not sure that I will ever discover what happened to him following his naturalization, unfortunately it isn't a rare name and there seem to have been a few with the same name who were close in age who travelled from the UK/Eire.  :(

Thank you Sandra, RJ137, Shellyesq and Lisa in California.
