Charlotte Sellings born 1874 Hastings

[artifis]

I have been trying without success to find the baptism of Charlotte Sellings daughter of Whitfield Sellings and his wife Elizabeth mmn Tyrell (or Tyrrell).  Charlotte's birth was registered at Hastings in Q4 1874 and her death in Q4 1876 - I'm waiting for her birth and death certificates.  Whitfield and Elizabeth lived in Hastings up to post 1901 and all their other children were baptised there at either St Clement, Halton or All Saints.  I've tried all spellings of Sellings including Sellens the most common alternative.  Elizabeth's parents and siblings also all lived at Hastings at this period.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the last missing info on this family.

That's brilliant thanks, I didn't think to check that spelling and nothing came up on Ancestry, FamilySearch and FindMyPast all with spelling variances set.  Weird that siblings immediately before and after Charlotte were under the surname Sellings, maybe someone different filling in the parish records.

As somebody whose surname is Sellens, I can tell you I have to spend half my life spelling out my surname for people, and as people with different accents can never understand it :-)  Back in those days, with changes in people in the church you would have ended up with a number of different variations...
