Northumberland / Early Selby Family of Branxton, Twisell Castle and Grindon
« on: Tuesday 27 February 24 00:06 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for someone else who has researched the early origins of the Selby Family of Branxton, Twisell Castle and Grindon, particularly in the 1400s and early 1500s.

I have a copies of documents which relate to William Selby who was of Branxton in 1478/1480, naming his sons Oliver and Roland, but am unable to determine whether William Selby himself was descended from the Selby family of Newcastle or Biddlestone and, also, how he is connected to the Selbys of Twisell Castle and Grindon. Is there anyone who can help with further evidence?

Cheers, Gerelle Lovegrove.

Northumberland / North Durham Mortuaries
« on: Wednesday 06 December 23 06:54 GMT (UK)  »
Im not sure whether to put this request under Durham or Northumberland because it really relates to what used to be known as North Durham but is now part of Northumberland.

In the Account Rolls of the Proctor of Norham printed in Raine's "North Durham - Parish of Norham" p. 281-282, there are a number of mortuaries recorded as given by different members of the Selby family. For example -

1489-90 For the mortuary gown of Mundana Selby xvi.
1492-3 Mortuaries. A horse for Gawyn Selby.
1493-4 Mortuaries. the horse of John Selby, ... his gown.
1496-7 Mortuaries for ... Gerard Selby, a horse ... a gown.
1500-1 Mortuary oxe of Thomas Selby.
1504-5 Mortuaries. Young oxe of Tho. Selby ... his tunic.
1520-1 Mortuaries. the tunic of Roger Selby ... his oxe.

From what I've read, it was fairly common place for mortuaries to be paid in lieu of tithes forgotten, etc. and that the best animal, possession or wearing apparel was normally paid as a mortuary.

What I would like to know is if it is likely that all of those named above were adults or were mortuaries paid for children as well?  I would have said that they were all likely to be adults, but would just like an educated opinion.

Thanks, Gerelle Lovegrove.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Grant - William Selby of Branxton 1476
« on: Thursday 28 September 23 07:03 BST (UK)  »
The attached Grant is in latin and I would be grateful if someone could help me with the gist of it.
Basically, I believe it is a Grant of the tower and manor of Branxton, together with lands in Paston and Wooller, from William Selby to his son, Oliver Selby, his legal male heirs with remainder to Roland Selby and his legal male heirs.
Would really appreciate an expansion on that and if it is likely that Roland Selby is also William's son.

I attach the Grant in three parts which fit together side by side.

Thanks,
Gerelle Lovegrove.
