Selina Bullman 1866 Norfolk

[vera2013]

I took a look at Hannah Elizabeth Petts nee Delph as the more likely to befriend Selina. I note that in

1881 Selina is a 15 year old patient in the Eye Hospital at Norwich
1881 John and Hannah Petts in the village of Bradwell

1885/6 Albert B born

1888 Selina married John White. The witness an Elizabeth Petts could be the one married to an Aaron Petts, a Fisherman from Kings Lynn who could be a friend of John White. Lots of could be's

1891 The Petts and Selina are living in ED6 Gorleston, recorded in the next street to each other

So they may have crossed paths whilst in Gorleston. Doesn't however help with is this your Selina ie Bullman.

That Selina Ewen looks good.

I did start looking at John Ewen, but did get in a muddle as there are a couple at least. One I note also ended up living with different people to parents as a boarder age 9 and 19. Have to say I gave up as thought was a very tenuous tangent.

Lin Fisher you said at beginning you knew about Selina's sister Naomi, I assume there is nothing that could possibly mention Selina?

[Lin Fisher]

Thanks everyone, a thought I had last night in bed, as you do. Could Elizabeth Petts be Hannah Elizabeth Petts who she was with on the census.

Also have looked for a Selina Bullen born Aylesham district, where she stated she was born on the census and where my Selina was born as there isn't anyone.

Naomi is no help , I didn't actually know her but have all her details. I didn't want people looking them up unnecesarily On here marriage she has Arthur Bullman as her father, probably Arthur Foster was the only Dad she know. There is no-one left to ask.

My Aunty did say that Naomi was quite well off as she was an only child! This makes me wonder when they did come to Nottingham and why.

I will add it all to my private tree but not put it on line.

Thanks again everyone. Lovely to have a few pairs of eye helping.

Might be back with more Bullmans soon, found a few more that I can't follow through!!

[cbcarolyn]

like you say there are no Selina's in Norfolk that look like Bullen, and she does seem to say Aylsham reasonably consistently.

As she had no family to correct the spelling of her name, I could see it is very easy to change it accidentally.

Lin, I have made contact with the person who was researching Selina on MyHeritage. She is Selina's greatgrandaughter so apparently a cousin of yours and eager to talk to you. Details in a PM.

[Lin Fisher]

Thank you Webwiz. Not read the pm yet. Excitement.

[Lin Fisher]

PM sent. Thank you.
