    Hello,

    Is it at all possible for someone to be able to find the baptisms of Ethel Sellwood 1797 Findhorn, Forres, Scotland, and her brother, Arthur 1899 same place, children of Richard Sellwood and Flora? The suname is sometimes spelt with one L.

    Yours

    Hi Victoria,



    I am getting no results for either surname. Are the two dates correct ?

    Hello,

    Thanks for looking. A real mover about, was Richard Sellwood.



    According to the 1901 and 1911 censuses, yes, the dates (and place) are right for both children, Ethel and Arthur. Their father was a coachman who in 1901 was with his wife and children in Hornsey, Middx and in 1911 in Islington, London. He married in 1895 in the New Forest, Hants, but was born in Bradfield, Berks. His wife, Flora was born in Wells, Somerset. He was obviously only a few years in Scotland but long enough for two children to be born.



    Yours

    Victoria

    Hello Victoria, You have posted Ethel b.1797 and her brother Arthur b.1899, there is just over a hundred years difference in their ages so I am assuming that Starlight was wondering which century we should be looking in : )

    I think by your last post you meant Ethel was born 1897 and not 1797.

    happy tree hunting.x

    Many thanks, Starlight,

    You have just confirmed Richard's wife's surname so now I can order the marriage certificate knowing that it is the right one.

    Yes, please to Arthur's birth.
