Hi,
I am still trying to think out of the box with regard to my brickwall, and in doing so I'm just going over the information I have to make sure I've not made any assumptions etc. With regard to Emily Selwyn nee Rawlins, I'd really appreciate someone just checking this for me....
Primary evidence I have:
Birth certificates for:
Alfred Cresswell Selwyn, b 1861 Hawley Blackwater
Isabella Mary Selwyn, b 1862 Hoxton Middlesex
George Cresswell Selwyn, b 1872 Aldershot, Surrey. Died same year.
all of these certificates give the mother as "Emily Selwyn formerly Rawlins" (except Isabella's spells it RawlinGs)
Other evidence I have:
1871 census: RG10; 817; 33; 2 Reg district was Farnham, Enum district was 9, Parish was Aldershot, sub-district was Frimley, showing address as The Lord Clyde Beer House, Ash Road, Aldershot. It shows head of house Henry Selwyn, age 41, Emily Selwyn Wife, age 37 birth year 1834 in Sussex then the two children.
1881 census: RG11; 781; 19; 32 Reg district was Farnham, Parish was Aldershot (Hants), sub-district was Frimley, address shown as Alexandra Road, Aldershot, Hants. (I believe it was Sandpit Cottage Alexandra Road). It shows Emily as Head, as a widow, aged 45, born Chichester Sussex. (The original image shows some mistakes, as the enumerator had her surname as SelwynE and the daughter's name as Arabella instead of Isabella.)
I have her death index entry, certificate is on order. She died in Q4 1887 in Blandford, Dorset, aged 51. This is where her daughter Isabella was living by this time but I don't know if she had moved there or was visiting at the time of death.
I'm not expecting anyone to solve the associated brickwall with this, and have taken up enough detective time in previous threads, so I've left out details of the other complications within the family. I just want to be sure that my assumptions for Emily herself are correct (or have a good chance of being correct!).... So, given the above evidence do you think this Emily is the same Emily who has Cornelius and Elizabeth for parents?
Thanks in advance,
Rachel
