Mrs Brown's first name
« on: Thursday 05 April 18 12:49 BST (UK) »
The record has it as Selina but I'm not too sure.  I can find no marriage in 1907c between a Herbert and a Selina....  could it be Lydia? 
TIA

Don't think it is that marriage.  They state no children born in the 1911 census and I have found these births with mmn Winterflood

BROWN, CHARLES  HERBERT JOHN    WINTERFLOOD 
GRO Reference: 1907  D Quarter in ST. PANCRAS  Volume 01B  Page 78

BROWN, KATHLEEN       WINTERFLOOD     
GRO Reference: 1910  D Quarter in ISLINGTON  Volume 01B  Page 159

Both before the 1911 census.

I read the name as Lizzie before I read subsequent posts.

Find My Past decided to transcribe it as Loryn!  Not sure how they arrived at that.  It is unfortunate that there are no other letters like it to compare with on the page.

I think the marriage may be this one:

FreeBMD:
Marriages Sep 1906
BROWN    Herbert Edward    Dunmow    4a   1561   
King    Lizzie Alice    Dunmow    4a   1561   

On the London Electoral Rolls at 285 Hornsey he shows up as Herbert Edward BROWN.

Later in 1920 (not at same addy but still in Islington there's a Herbert Edward BROWN with wife Lizzie Alice.) :-\

Oh yes. I guess this accounts for the Richard KING with them in 1911:
