        Jehu? Sele? I'd try and find it in another record somewhere. I see one of his sons has S. as middle name so maybe its the same name.

          This looks like the son's birth:

          Births Jun 1843
          HAYNES Charles Selwyn Cheltenham 11 198

          I wonder if it says Thomas Sel. for the father?

            It looks as though Annie dies and he remarries:

            Marriages Sep 1867
            HAYNES Thomas Selwyn Pancras 1b 11
            NASH Emma Pancras 1b 11

            He's in Pancras on the 1891 census, living with 2nd wife Emma, but she's a widow in 1901, so this might well be his death:

            Deaths Sep 1899
            Haynes Thomas Selwyn 78 Pancras 1b 18

              It still looks as if it could say Silas to me but having another look it might say Selw, which is a bit of an odd abbreviation!

                The second marriage is in the LMA records, and confirms his occupation:

                  Its probably an abbreviation of Selwyn.

                  Edit: Ooooops I didn't see Mary from Italy's posts. It is obviously Selwyn.

                    I thought this might be the first marriage, to Ann Monk, because the occupation sounds OK (compositor), but the fathers' names and signatures are diffferent from the second marriage:
